What is up guys, Ravager here and welcome to a new guide this time featuring Singed,The
Mad Chemist.So here's what I will cover in this video,a small introduction about him,abilities,pros
and cons,general strategies,runes masteries ,items and counterpicks.So click on this little
menu right here to go to the part that you want or watch the entire video
Introduction Singed is an ability power bruiser that is
a great pick for any team.He is an excellent pick for anyone who has good map awareness,
improvisational skills, and an open mind to go anywhere at any time.He has great utility
in teamfights and also a very good damage output.If you can farm efficiently,Singed
will be a very good champion lategame turning him into a super tank with lots of crowd control.By
capitalizing on Singed's mobility and cc reduction, the doors are opened to making a tough, tanky
platform that can support a wide variety of item options.
Abilities Let's start with his passive - Empowered Bulwark:
This passive increases your health by 25% for every point of mana you have.This allows
you to stack mana and gain HP at the same time.Lategame this passive will give you tons
of hp. Q - Poison Trail: This is Singeds main ability.This
ability helps you farm minions easily and kill enemies that blindly chase you.You will
be amazed how much damage this little poison trail does on targets that chase you or stay
in it.Always make sure to activate this ability in any teamfight or skirmish and try to run
in front of your target in zig zag so they will run into your trail.Take this ability
at level 1 and max it first. W - Mega Adhesive: Its a pretty basic ability,this
is a very good AoE slow so throw this where your enemies are to slow them.You can also
use this ability when you are getting ganked by throwing it in front of you.Take this ability
at level 3 or 4 and max it last E - Fling: Pretty basic ability as well.This
ability is awesome because it helps you set up combos on your targets or throw them in
your team to pick up an easy kill.Just make sure you are not throwing any tanks or heavy
crowd control champions at your teammates.You can also use this ability to help teammates
escape,throw your enemies in your tower or over a small wall.Take this ability at level
2 and max it second R - Insanity Potion: In my opinion this is
a very good ultimate,you get free stats on a small cooldown and the buff duration is
huge.Be sure to use this ultimate whenever you are going to fight someone,engage teamfights
or going for ganks.The extra stats you get will help you out a lot! Take this ability
whenever its possible Here's a general combo you should use in lane
to harass your enemy.If the enemy laner tries to last hit a melee minion activate your Poison
Trail and Fling him into your trail and minions.While you are let's say..farting in his face,throw
a few autos as well to take a pretty good chunk of his hp.Once you have level 6,play
more agressively and take advantage of the extra stats and buff duration your ultimate
gives you. Pros & Cons
Pros He has great mobility with his ultimate
He gets free extra stats from his ultimate His Fling lets Singed be a gamebreaker in
teamfights He is very tanky and hard to kill with his
ultimate He is very disruptive and annoying
He can be built as both AP and as a Tank Cons
He is mana hungry - untill you buy Tear of the goddess
He relies on his ulti in teamfights He is a farm reliant champion
He is easily harassed especially early game He has difficulty escaping well-coordinated
ganks GENERAL STRATEGIES
Poison Trail is very effective for farming and harassing, allowing Singed to dominate
his lane. Poisoning the opposing minions as they advance is an effective strategy for
farming lanes. A good strategy for farming is to push your minions to the turret then
running past it to poison the next wave as it comes. However, this puts you behind the
enemy tower, so be wary of ganks. When facing melee champions, you are capable
of zoning them by poisoning the area near your own minions so their farming capabilities
are hindered severely. Fling is your most versatile ability and can
be used to toss enemies into your turret, isolate them from their teammates to set up
an allied ambush, and save lives by tossing enemies away from weak or fleeing allies.
Be sure to use it at the extent of its range, the further you are from a target when you
Fling it, the further they will get tossed behind you.
Fling can also be used to interrupt channeled ultimates like Nunus Absolute Zero,Katarinas
Death Lotus and others or you can throw away champions with strong AoE ultimates like Fiddlesticks
Crowstorm. Insanity Potion is useful for chasing enemies
and is a useful asset in any major team battle for its all-round bonuses. It has an incredibly
short cooldown considering its bonuses, so don't worry about wasting it to run away from
a gank gone wrong. Its short cooldown also means it can be used in lane to simply regenerate
mana and hp. In teamfights you either engage or defend
your carry.If you choose to engage,you want to get that initial fling off on a squishy
champion and then run around with poison and ultimate and tank as much as you can without
dying .If you choose to protect your carry,fling enemies away and throw Mega Adhesive in between
them. You can also zone out your enemy carry by
charging at them but beware of getting out of position.Your job is to disrupt enemy's
positioning, do a decent AOE dmg over a period of time, soak up some damage, and make it
out alive while the rest of your teammates finish the job.
Remember when I said that one of Singeds cons is that he is mana hungry? Well,I highly recommend
rushing a mana item such as Tear of the Goddess because this works extremely well with his
passive (remember,his passive gives him extra health) but also helps with your Poison Trails
mana cost.Singed is one of the fastest champions that can stack the Tear of the Goddes with
his Poison Trail just don't forget to keep it activated for short periods of time.
Also guys,don't even try building spell vamp on Singed because he scales very poorly with
spell vamp.He doesn't have any high burst spells that can quickly heal him and his poison
trail heal him for a very small ammount because it counts as being an AoE spell.
Singed isn't a really high skill based champion so there aren't too many strategies to give
you guys,just remember these tips and you should be just fine!
Runes & Masteries Ok guys,let's see what runes do we need.For
quintessences: movement speed quints,because they are very good with Singeds playstyle
and it helps you with running in front of your enemy with your poison activated.For
Marks: magic penetration marks mostly because all the damage you do is magic damage.For
glyphs and seals: magic resist glyphs and armor seals will help you survive the early
game harassment a lot better. For Masteries take 21 points in defense and
9 in offense.The 9 points in Offense enhance your Ghost spell,it gives you cooldown reduction
and increases your magic damage.The 21 points in the Defense tree help you increase your
total hp,resistances and reduces the damage you take.
For Summoner Spells: take Ghost/Ignite or take Ghost/Exhaust
Item Builds Since Singed has pretty big mana problems
early game,start with a Cristallyne Flask,a health/mana pot and a ward or if you are against
a strong AD bruiser that can harass you out of lane start with a Cloth Armor and pots.At
your first recall,buy Tear of the Goddess and start stacking it as soon as possible.After
you bought the tear and boots,buy Rylais Crystal Scepter,upgrade your boots to Mercury Threads
or if you want to troll your enemies and run as fast as a horse upgrade your boots in Boots
of Swiftness but remember,these type of boots work against teams that have only slows.After
getting these core items,start working on your resistances depending on your need,buy
an armor item such as Randuins Omen,Thornmail or a magic resist item such as Spirit Visage,Banshees
Veil.After that finish your Tear of the Goddess into Archangel staff and buy Liandrys Torment.With
this build,you should have a mix of good damage,decent magic resistance and good armor.
Counterpicks In most parts,champions with good range can
counter Singed easily because of the harassment Singed will receive when trying to last hit.So
try not to pick Singed when they have one of the following champions: Elise,Kennen,Teemo,Kayle,Jayce.These
champions will make your life pretty *** the top lane mainly because all of them
have ranged harassment and very good damage.If you are facing one of these champions,my advice
is,stay in the bushes come out just for last hits and wait for your jungler to gank.
