Puting it back up there; season 3 will change it tho

Welcome to my build.

I have been playingfor a while now (since beta) and as most all know Singed is a very powerful top lane, and this brings to my attention that everybody says that " Rod of Ages is the best item ever for Singed."
No I'm not saying that Rod of Ages is bad item, in fact would be my favorite item if it gave you the full stats whenever you buy it, but it takes 10 min after you buy it to become its full potential and how I build Singed the item only becomes powerful 40 to 50 min. in the game. I don't know about you, but by that time it doesn't do as much as is it should.

Pros to Rod of Ages

•The Catalyst Protector instantly gives you a boost of HP and Mana early, and when your level it heals you and gives you Mana when in lane.

•The end potential of works very well with the and make you very durable while producing damage, a.k.a. best item to have if given a level I with full potential.

Cons to

•Although it gives good health and Mana, it doesn't give any CC like a and if you play Singed enough you do not have worry about your Mana.

•If is the first item you build you will be lucky to get its full potential at 30 min. in the game.

Support is how I like to play my balding friend.

Runes and Masteries.

For both Runes and masteries I would say it comes down to personal preference on what you like, however I prefer tank Runes with magic penetration marks and movement speed Quintessences and for masteries to go 9, 21, 0 for Max early tank potential and magic penetration for your Poison Trail. If you are wondering about 3 in Mercenary and not 3 in Enlightenment , here is my reasoning. When you play singed you will most likely be assisting and killing, but I say don't try to take the kill money whenever it is possible for the carry of your team to get it. So what ever gold you get from the assist + the 24 bonus. gold per kill. For example...(this is a random singed signature I found on Mobafire)

Now if this singed had 3 in Mercenary he would have a bonus 768 gold just from the 3 in Mercenary . Now if you look at Enlightenment and it "FULL POTENTIAL" like the Rod of Ages 8.1% CDR looks great, but again full potential is at lvl 18. So with some simple math we do the .45(L) (L being level) so at level 11 you have 5% CDR. With that at level 11 Mega Adhesive Fling both lose a WHOLE second (with rounding of course), and Insanity Potion loses 5 second which isn't much. And besides if cool downs are an issue then your not playing singed right(just like mana).

The swiftness quintessence give you 4.5% movement speed in total which allows you to be faster than anybody you have to lane against allowing you to catch them and Fling them into your Poison Trail or to gank when needed faster.

Again mainly this build is for item order and the strong belief in not using Rod of Ages. Not because I want to be the one who doesn't like Rod of Ages, but because it is an item that you must build first for it to be good, so it doesn’t allow you to build fast enough for me.

The main part of the Build is items and item order.

How I play Singed is a top lane Minion farmer that can keep back and under farm every melee champion and most ranged champions. I would say that the best first item you can get with Singed is a Philosopher's Stone for 2 reasons:

1.)A is Mana and health region Item which combined with your allows you to stay in lane virtually forever.

2.)It gives you a gold a second wish doesn't seem like a lot but you'll notice a huge increase in gold For this build to work obtaining at least two gold items such as, , and is essential. The gold you obtain from these items will allow you to build to a full build a lot faster than normal people, but stops your first bigger item from being built earlier such as and .

Now it seems like I'm being hypocritical because this build is more for later like a , but the gold items such as and do give stats that help you farm up early and possibly kill people earlier. So in conclusion the main point of this build is to help your early and become fully built almost twice as fast as normal, while helping your team by slowing people in team fights early.

So after you get your gold items of the way and whatever boots you feel like such as or , you will want to go onto a build depending on how the game is turning out. If you are still top lane and the lanes are really moving anywhere and no team fights have broken out in the game then depending on the lane against you might want to consider a or a .

But as most of us know about that part of the game people are moving around and team fights or even ganks start happening. By that time you might want to think about building a . I would say mostly other items are up to you what you want to build because your play style is different than mine but after I get a least a , and a I like getting more health when being the tank on the team. A will give you a big boost in health and health regenerate, which allows you to be way more durable against mages especially and the with your health will allow you to be durable against DPS is to.

There although situations however that a can be better in team fights when plain Singed. These situations usually are when your team is mainly high AD and/or very durable. This will increase your damage output majorly and for other items have or he made you very durable, but this only works when you have multiple tanks or they don't have very much magic resistance.

The song to help you win.

Skill Sequence explanation and SummonerSpells

This further guide is all based around personal preference and how the game is going.
There are however a few things you can say about Singed's skills and how your Summoner Spells can work towards them.

• All i'm going to say about is that with simple math you can that people see to highly of this passive.
1.)It gives 256 HP with the 1025 this build has and if you go a heavy Mana build you get a bonus 750 HP from the 3000 Mana you get because the ratio is only 25%.
2.)When was the last time someone said "if only this singed had less Mana I would kill him." in other words skills make singed great, so don't worry to much about his passive.

• By leveling trail up it increases the damage 12 damage a second per level which adds up quickly to 72 damage a second base

• the mana cost does not increase per level and the 1 second cooldown doesn't move at all.

• The ability power ratio on it is 25% and doesn't go up or down which is normal for most champions.

• Leaving this ability on will drain your mana very fast and it does not increase damage output, so it is just as effective to tap this ability and leave small clouds instead of a long trail.

• One of the most important things about this ability is actually DOT and applies 15% slow with a while they're poisoned instead of while they're in the trail.

• is great for slowing your enemies and can be especially great for gap--> <--closing as it slows 75% movement speed for as long as they're in you.

• This ability can also be very useful for helping you/allies for escaping.

• You will get an assist for every enemy slowed by it. So before an enemy dies it can be a good idea to throw goo on them.

• This will also allow you to hold an enemy where you would like when combined with .

• is great for starting team fight by moving a target you would like to focus (Ranged DPS, Caster DPS) close to your team, shutting down most for the other team’s damage.

• This is also great for a burst of damage as it is a 300 base with 100% AP ratio.

• Since people know Singed has this skill so this will keep some people away from your tower to prevent from being put under your tower.

• If you know what a moba game is, then just by reading this skill it should very self explanatory.

• combined with your durability and will keep you in lane a long time.

• Use this to start team fights because of the movement speed, AP boost, CC reduction and the extra durability.

• This skill goes on cool down as soon as you activate it. So the cool down when your not buffed is really 75 seconds base.

• All-round I personally have this skill on cool down constantly.

Final Thoughts.

As I stated before this is a build for obtaining a full build in the mid game before other people.

I will be posting videos later to my YouTube Channel with me playing singed or other champions along with my friend. There will be commentary and funny moments.

Vote up if you want to break the meta singed build with ROA because it takes to long.

I will keep this build ideal for a long time.

Oh and thanks to my friend Radda Sauce for being a duo queue partner who helped me with this build for 2 years now.

Update Notes.(to keep ideal)

(5/27/12)

Had to change title because some people don't bother to read the build, and then they complain about it, not having enough mana or a in it.(sine of a bad singed)

(6/7/12)

had to rate my self once because someone got mad and rated down because i rated his builds bad. he shouldn't have made it obvious that he gave him self 3 votes on his builds.

(11/23/12)

im back and in season 3 and Catalyst Protector are getting nerfed and so becoming cheaper.
