PSA: Feeding as Singed is still Feeding

Just letting everyone know. Apparently Singed players (or even brand new Singed players) are under the impression that he can die 7 times in the first fifteen minutes and his late game pushing will make up for his 4 dead teammates in every 4v5 they get forced into while he's gone.

Singed's job isn't to proxy and die 6 times getting 50 farm and half a tower's HP. It's to distract 3 enemies. If you're gonna proxy Singed, or play Singed at all, remember feeding is still feeding no matter who you're playing as. Don't die 6 times to one enemy while their jungler is at your bot and mid.

On another note: If you want to play Singed but haven't realized he needs a rework, play Gangplank instead. He's a lot more fun, kills minion waves just as fast, can deal his own damage to towers, has damage in a teamfight, can help in teamfights from anywhere on the map, and doesn't require enemies to mindlessly chase him in order to deal damage.

It depends on how you play proxy singed. If played properly, it doesn't matter that you're dying.

If they have to pull 3 people in order to kill you, its worth, as long as you don't get ANY kills while they attempt it. Your team just has to capitalize on their misplaced efforts. That's what makes/breaks proxy singed. It doesn't work at low MMR unless you get away every time, or your team magically knows exactly what to do when they're trying to kill you.

If you make yourself too easy to kill so your team doesn't pull significant advantages as proxy singed, you aren't playing it right. In that case, yeah, you're pretty much feeding.
