Singed, truly making toxic and unhealthy gameplay

[zombie-brand-mindblown] Singed, a tanky mage champ that runs around and poisons people for fun. As seen in the video above, Singed is not a fun champ to deal with and not fun to play. The whole goal of Singed is just be annoying and somehow win no matter. Along with that it's pathetic seeing how most champs involve some sort combos, mechanical skill, a specific role that makes them useful. Singed is none of those unless you want to play a champ that lets you do nothing and still win lane, or make a large contribution to the team by just staying in one lane, feed, do whatever you want, and still win the match. Its unhealthy gameplay as it promotes the act of just not trying, have no interaction with the team and just afk farm. There are a lot of ways to fix Singed that its infuriating. [zombie-brand-clap] 1. Make a larger skill cap for Singed. He is too safe of a champion and there is not other way of saying it. You have a slow that acts a stun if you toss people into it. A trail of poison that hurts people for just chasing you. Along with a ult that boost his ap, movement speed, armor, health regen and mana regen. So the basic thing to do is just turn on your poison, run around, and flip anyone trying to kill you, then kill them in the process. No skill, no strategics, and teamwork is not involved anywhere. Add in some actual skill shots, maybe some click abilities, something that involves skill and some form of difficulty. He doesn't follow the mad scientist, which leads me to the next point. 2. Do something with his concept. A mad scientist that makes poison and goes into battle and spreads the poison in order to do battle. That's the appearance and feeling you should have when playing. Instead we have a bald headed asshole that has Gara's gourd letting out poison, and just suicide bombing until he gets inhib. There has to be someway to making the gameplay match that concept

  • New concept: Singed a scientist that makes different posions and either chooses to bomb people with it, or makes poisons tramps. Sits in the back lines shooting out posions, throwing bombs and making tactical escapes and becomes much more powerful as the game drags along. With crazy spiky white hair. The clothing apparrel similar to Rick Sanchez. A cartoony yet dark appearence would give him a unique look. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs] 3. GAMEPLAY IDEAS
  • New Passive: Poison experimentation: Singed is a scientist experimenting with his ever evolving poison. Add in a bonus feature at certain level intervals. Have something similar to Syndra Syndra's passive. As Singed maxes out these abilites, the abilites with gain bonus "side effects".
  • New Q: Toxic Delivery: Singed throws an exploding poison bomb in the air and comes with two zones similar to Aatrox's Dark Flight Outer Circle: Enemies in the outer circle are poisoned. (Scales with Ap) Inner Circle: Enemies receive damage and are poisoned/ (Scales with Ap) Side Effect when maxed out: Poison now slows you for 25% for 3 seconds Use: Q can be used as a zoning spell for Singed, and also makes it easier to set up follow W for good burn damage and the slow helps set up for good combos by other team memebers
  • New W: Deadly Slider: Singed rolls a canister that rolls to chosen range and explodes after a few seconds. But can be recast 2 seconds after. Dealing Magic Damage and poisoning enemies Side Effect: Poisioing applies a burn effect similar to liandries item 3151 and the burn scales with Ap, Use: The main burn and burst damage that can be very powerful and punishing if not dodged
  • New E: Spray on Blind: Singed takes out a cartoon bug sprayer and sprays out poison in a sweeping arc. The effect lingers and any enemies that walk through it or are in the initial spray are slowed and poisoned and cannot dash through it. Similar to Cassiopeia miasma Side Effect: All Poison damage is amplified Use: Use this ability as a an escape tool and it can also help you set for other abilites, keeping the whole "Never chase a Singed rule" forever alive.
  • New Ult: I cant think of a name: Singed takes out the bug sprayer and uses it as a jet that leaves a poison trail. So Taliyah ult but with poison instead. The poison wall last only for a few seconds, 2 seconds at most, and disables enemies like Malzahar but they can still move and auto attack. Along with that, Singed is sent flying away, while shooting out the poison trail. Applies poison to enemies. Side Effect: Applies all side effects from other abilites, though not as powerful, has to be a thin poison mist, and it would total bs if all the effects would be the same from the other abilities. So it would slow, but not as much, it would still give people the burn side effect, but its not as powerful. Use: Another escape tool, and another spell to help in team fights. Gives Singed a good chance to reposition to the back lines behind the tank. Along with that it gives Singed a good bait tool and good enough disable to start up a team fight.

If Riot actually sees this forum and makes some sort of change to Singed in order to make healthier game play then all is good. Just that so far Singed receives some attention just that he just too simple and too safe. It pains me seeing a Singed player just proxy farm the top lane, run around and win the game due to him becoming an annoying git that is hard to kill and hard to shutdown.

Riot, if you see this please consider changing up Singed more make some plans for and announce it. Some champs need some change and I believe Singed is one of them.

You DO know MagikarpUsedFly vids are parodies right? Also, you are special if you think Singed takes no skill. In pre level 30 games maybe, but after that, singed is actually one of the hardest champs to be successful with the better your opponent is.

The only thing about singed that needs changed is his passive his other abilities are just fine.

First of all, Singed isn't cancer. He isnt easy either. Since they reworked his passive, he works fine. I like the idea of moving him to a new archetype, casting your abilities as a new champ. I thought of a name for ur ult: "Chemtech Cataclysm". Anyways, Singed is simple. Designed to take advantage of players who value kills over objectives, punishing you for greeting and chasing etc. Proxy singed is fucking hard. There's constantly 2+ people out to get u, and ur running in the most dangerous part of the map. His kit is simple, but the macro knowlege required to succeed with him is overwhelming. He is an immobile champ with no reliable hard cc, and you constantly have to put up with your teamates flaming you for DOING YOUR JOB instead of taking Baron while you are running around in base 1 v 5. It's frustrating to see people who don't understand how he works get upset because they simply aren't competent enough to play the game properly. It's a MOBA, not fucking Mortal Kombat. Play like it.
