Because most people dont have the galaxy brain it takes to make the right decisions on Singed and move like a boss instead of like a feeder on Singed. Also makro knowledge

[seanvanderwood]

Singed has the hardest CC in the game: tilt

[bubblebenderr]

A good way my friend put playing singed "when you lock him in, you stop playing league, and start playing singed"

[meeszijlstra]

Playing against or with a Singed always makes for an interesting game. His KDA means nothing in terms of judging whether he's playing well or not. It can be genuinely hard to tell if a Singed is trolling or if they're an actual fucking mastermind wasting minutes of the enemy's time. Yeah, they got a kill and 300 gold out of it, for what cost? Singed chops my IQ in half simply from being in the same game, and I love him, even though I'm an ADC player.

"There is no satisfaction in getting a kill as Singed, unless you are one of those sick bastards who enjoy the suffering of others"

Yep, that check's out a bit too hard

[samcostley]

I disagree that the Singed ceiling cap is very low. Literally not dying on Singed is extremely difficult

Me: Interesting
*continues maining singed*

[LesbianWitchAcademia]

Longtime Singed Main here. My favorite thing about Singed stems from his low mechanical complexity: playing Singed makes you better at league. The amount of macro knowledge needed to play Singed effectively (enemy champion positions when proxying, common ward placements, best flanking paths, how to deal with unbeatable matchups, TP timings, strange summoner spell combinations) forces you to expand and hone your knowledge about everything in league of legends, and that's what makes him fun, to me at least.

Well, that and sprinting at the enemy at 1k MS, flinging their carry into a mega adhesive to root them, and getting that sweet sweet "summoner disconnected" message afterwards. That makes it all worth it.

“When you get a kill as singed there’s no real satisfaction” ARE YOU SERIOUS? When I get a kill on singed I know my brain was BULDGING with knowlage, I RAN AWAY and PRESSED E Extreme outplay highest skill champ

[PVDisplay]

"When you get a kill as singed there’s no real satisfaction” As a Singed main, I would like to disagree. Every champ on the top lane has tools to pretty easily shut you down quickly, via stuns, slows or just general burst damage. You killing someone means that, despite the enemy having considerably more tools to deal with you that you have to deal with them, you killed them. You "outskilled" them because you used your limited tools to the fullest, like knowledge of the enemy champion, your movement speed, you positioning, etc. Also in some parts of the video you suggest that "Singed KDA does not matter" but trust me, if your able to get kills early as singed (yes, there are a lot of ways of doing that) you transform Singed into a HUGE anchor for your team that can easily help the ally ADC and midlaner.

FUN FACT: Singed was first champion ever created in the game. Be proud Singed mains, we carry legacy.

[ambralemon]

They also can't change him too much, I'm a Singed main and every single one of us is very attached to his playstyle, a rework would literally make every old Singed main leave him

[elmostachojuanoh]

Singed's kit is designed in such an unique way, that it doesn't allow skill expression as much as it allows macro and decision making to be even more impactful. I love it

[Abfallkannibale]

I'm actually happy that Singed has a very low pick rate. I like having a niche. I always tried to find a place in League, swapping from one role to another, mostly playing tanks or mages top or support, always getting destroyed by solo carry champions.
Then I developed item builds like "yellow build Alistar" (Ancient Coin, Righteous Glory, Ryleis, all that stuff) before Riot "reworked" their support items, or "victory Sion" rushing ZzRoth, Steraks and Phantom Dancer, before they removed the best item ever from the game. *theatralic outcry*

Now I'm stuck in a meta so bursty, that I just don't feel like dealing with those thirsty solo carries anymore. That's when Singed arrived. I love how ALMOST NO mythic item is good on him as a first item and I love even more, that he really is a walking middle finger, especially to champions that crushed me in the past. It is all about mental stability and movement with him. No ridiculous animation-canceling, no dumb pseudo-fencing or stack-grinding towards a guaranteed win. You just move and push one objective after the other, being to annoying to let live, but too slippery to kill, reworking my old Alistar-build for the current season. You need to re-learn how you move in order to survive ridiculous encounters, having thirsty tryhards breathing down your neck. When three men gank me and I die, it is worth it to me, because I take a turret and farm and even if I don't, they left two enemy players exposed to my teams remaining four. I stopped giving a fuck about proving myself in League through KDA and other meaningless bullshit. That was the beginning of my love for Singed. Now champions aren't a target anymore. Stickers, emotes and flame don't reach me anymore. I just want those yummi minions and turrets, no matter the cost.

Currently I play him top and as a support against melee champs and fiddle for everything else. I'm an unrelenting split-pusher and meta-troll and I love it. Fuck the haters. Fuck the bruisers and fuck Viego especially.

[redeveer]

The FIRST game I decided to play Singed I met literally the only other person I've ever see pick him on the enemy team, we then both met on mid because I got left there. For a moment we both just looked at each other and started dancing. We both had a moment of enjoyment before we each attempted to throw each other like ragdolls into something dangerous

[Sobik]

As a singed main you don't understand how many times you are forced to outplay fights because you are supposed to lose like 90% of them. It is a very unique playstyle, but the gratification comes in mastering that and watching people just kill themselves in frustration. Also laughing maniacally every time you fling them hasn't gotten old and I am at like 550k mastery points

[corndog]

Ok i know this is very late but i love singed from his design to his lore to his mechanic. One thing i learned from maining him is that hes not a combat type champion. If youre planning to main him make sure youre ready to lose 70% of the matchups and be on the defensive in early game. Youll be at your strongest point when ppl think their ahead and underestimate your potential when they gank you even at low health. Your job is not to deal damage or provide team support but mind your own business and distract enemies while exhausting their resources in attempt to shut you down. Youre right, hes mechanically not what a champion is built to be, and arguably the most unique one even at today's standards. HES A CHAMPION THAT KILLS BY FLEEING AND RUNNING NOT BY FIGHTING. I have mad respect for mechanically skilled players who main yasuo, camille etc. but i know deep inside that maining my man singed gives you a special power to play with someone else's ego while wrecking havoc and panic.

[meric]

There's nothing quite like the primal joy of flinging a riven out of her third q, or a camille out of her e, or a jax out of his jump, etc., and launching them into a pile of angry minions. It literally never gets old.

[SanguineThor]

Lmao calling out my dude minishcap. As he puts it "singed mains are all boomers. Even if youre a young league player, if you main singed you're a boomer"

[khrispants]

11:10 "Singed doesn't belong in the current state of League of Legends." I disagree. Singed represents a creative design philosophy that is all but dead in the game. New champions are all starting to become rehashed versions of existing concepts and at times each other (e.g. Viego is just 4 - 5 existing champions mushed into one). Having them on a set release schedule limits the amount of playtesting and is probably one reason they can't push the envelope on completely new ideas. Riot encourages unique, boundary pushing gameplay but design their champs in a way where they pre-determine how they're played. There was a point in time where one of the most active Singed players ran him in the Support role with Smite and he got banned for "trolling" despite actually playing to win. When Riot said they wanted creative ideas from the community and got this as a response they immediately said "lol no not like that." So many creative ideas come from this champion's existence. This game *needs* Singed and the community of enthusiasts, OTPs, and mains that pick him.
