Why do people still chase Singed?

Last night I played Singed top, rushed item 3070 and item 3010 for a bit of early tanking power (item 3027item 3040 are both very gold efficient and provide a HUGE amount of Mana for Singed's passive and Seraph's Embrace to scale off of--don't be pressured into choosing one or the other, just get both). Meanwhile, our Fizz mid and Shaco jungler fed their Mordekaiser mid and he started causing problems for me up top. I bought item 3092 (yes, really) so I could take down top's outer turret (and the only tower that we destroyed at that point) before teamfighting started, knowing that Morde would just split push and huehuehue all the way to the inhib if I left the lane without doing so. (Frost Queen's on Singed isn't a terrible idea I swear) I already made it clear that their Fiora top was going to lose against me in a 1v1. I had Rod of Ages at 10 stacks, Tear of the Goddess almost at 750 (due to the constant procs from his Q, rito pls), and way too much health to spare. Mordekaiser could still carry harder than I could, and they already had three of our towers down by the time I destroyed one of theirs. But then his teammates started chasing me, ignoring that all the damage they were taking from Poison Trail made it unsafe to engage, nevermind the fact that Singed with a 750 Tear/Seraph's and RoA tanks earlier and harder than most Tank champions with a Warmog's and a Giant's Belt (not that anyone would because they're all probably building Randuin's or Spirit Visage instead). Got a lot of assists and a lot of kills stolen from me, hope you're happy Fizz, upgraded to Seraph's Embrace and started building more AP, gg wp. 44.3k damage at the end, beating our Twitch ADC's damage by 3k.

Not telling what the rest of my item build was because I will probably get laughed at for not using MOBAfire.

Please stop chasing Singed, because that's how you throw matches. By the time you catch up with him, your health will have already dropped so far that he could just kill you with a fling. And if he can't kill you then, he'll pop his steroid and wait for you to drop. He's like Teemo Satan, but a lot less squishy.

Off Topic: What happens if a Singed and a Volibear throw each other?

You SHOULD only be choosing one of the other, not both. His optimal build doesn't allow for both. But yes, Singed is very fun and people always chase him no matter what.

Not that I promote chasing Singed (you will lose the game by doing it), but I absolutely understand the reasoning for it. By design, he's an unbearably toxic champion and people just want him fucking dead.

Try to keep him down early? His core items are cheap as dirt and disgustingly efficient. Try to kill him? He runs laps in your jungle, his team gets free objectives, and can't die anyway. Try to ignore him? He splits pushes like a motherfucker then randomly shows up to a team fight, kneecaps your carries, and walks away like a smug asshole.

Related note: I despise you as a human being for both owning and playing him, but I'm a rational man and mostly blame Riot for designing and creating him in the first place.
