Cons
- Not the best early game. You can get easily harassed. - Item reliant. - Very mana hungry until you buy Tear. - Farm reliant. - Only has one form of sustained damage which can be inconsistent. |


These are the new masteries I take on

--
Ignite is the best offensive summoner spell for
This is easily the best summoner spell for
Viable Options
--
I had a tough time choosing what was better,
Teleport or
Ignite. I ended up choosing
Ignite because of the pressure you have in lane but that doesn't mean Tele isn't viable. It is a great spell that can be used defensively and offensively. You can obviously port back to your lane without missing any minions or exp, but you can also tele to another lane by porting onto a ward. This is a great tactic that can earn your team kills.
The only reason
Exhaust would be worth taking is because of its versatility. I don't take it personally, but it is helpful to have in lane against people like
Tryndamere or
Jax. Helps out late game too by shutting down that AP/AD carry for a few seconds.
--
I had a tough time choosing what was better,
The only reason Always prioritize
Why not take a point into
Empowered Bulwark (passive): This passive is very underrated in my opinion. 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. Usually you end the game with around 2000 mana with equates to 500 hp.(That is a pretty good amount)
Poison Trail (Q): This is How to use
- Make sure to always have this activated in ANY team fight/skirmish.
- If you are being chased, activate Poison Trail and zig-zag so they will run into the trail no matter what.
- To farm effectively, simply run into a creep wave with your poison on, than run back. Make sure you hit all the creeps and you should be able to kill the entire wave.
- Getting dragon/baron is pretty hard as
Singed, but to speed it up just activate
Poison Trail and run in a small circle so it hits Dragon/Baron.

Mega Adhesive (W): Singed's W ability is one of the strongest AOE slows in the game. (next to Tips and Tricks
- If you get ganked, don't immediately use it Mega Adhesive. Wait until the enemy is directly behind you and place the slow in front of you. This maximizes the slow potential.
Mega Adhesive +
Fling is just dumb come late game. It basically guarantee's a free
Fling. (And probably a kill)- This skill is great for peeling people off your carries.
- Another pretty obvious tip is to utilize the long range of
Mega Adhesive by placing it in front of the enemy you are trying to slow.

Fling (E): This skill is still fantastic even after the nerf. Fling is amazingly versatile and is great for dueling and chasing. (Used to have 1.0 ratio, now only .75)Tips and Tricks
- A simple combo is to activate
Poison Trail and then
Fling the enemy behind you. - If you have the opportunity, you can actually
Fling people into your turret early game to pick up an easy kill. Basically you bait,
Fling +
Ignite + Tower shots +
Poison Trail. - You can
Fling fleeing enemy's into your team to pick up an easy kill. - It is possible to position yourself right so you can save teammates by flinging an enemy away from your low HP ally.
- Make sure not to Fling any Super-Tanky champion into your team, such as
Amumu or
Alistar because they can disrupt your entire team. - Immediately after
Flinging someone, hit the A key and click on the ground near the champion. This move is called the "Sky Auto-Attack" (Credits to Inverted Composer) and basically what it does is it allows you to get a free auto attack on the enemy while they are in mid air. This is a great tool to deal heavy damage early game. (very important for early trading!) You have to hit the A key while they're in mid air for this to work so you may want to go into a bot game and practice it. - It is possible to
Fling enemies over small walls (dragon, baron, ledges near mid/bot/top, etc.) It can be difficult to do but you basically position yourself so your back is facing the wall you want to
Fling whomever over.

Insanity Potion (R): Singed's ultimate is extremely strong. You get 6 vital stat which turns you into a super damage dealing mega-tank.Tips/Tricks to using
- Make sure not to use it just to get back mana/HP. It isn't worth it.
- Try to have this skill up before engaging in a fight...you're going to need it.
- Use it when getting ganked or participating in a gank. The steroids you get could save your life or pick you up a kill.

My personal favorite starting item. It allows you to play more aggressively due to the sustain and the ward will keep you protected. I will pretty much start this in 90% of lanes.

Mercury's Treads:The strongest boots for Singed.Easily the best boots for
Rylai's Crystal Scepter:Tankiness, AP, and a Perma-slow.One of the best, if not the best, item for
Thornmail:Cheap armor with a great passive.By far my favorite armor item for
Seraph's Embrace:Huge mana and ability power increase with shield.An absolute beast item for
Banshee's Veil:Fantastic MR item.After the
Liandry's Torment:After this purchase, you'll being doing Tons of Damage.One of the best offensive oriented items for
Defensive Items
Randuin's Omen:Lots of tankiness with great passive/active.One of the better armor items for
Frozen Heart:Not bad, but not good.After the nerfs, FH isn't nearly as good as it used to be. It still isn't a bad item, it just isn't a core item for
Ninja Tabi:Fantastic item against AD heavy champions. Swap out Merc's Treads.These boots help you immensely against AD champions that can hurt you. You get 25 armor and a beast passive to keep you alive or being chunked out of lane by many champions. These boots can also be considered an offensive item in a sense because after purchasing them, you can duel most AD champions.
Doran's Shield:Great vs. early game AD's.I still believe
Guardian Angel:God-like passive with minor armor/MR increases.The only reason this item is worth the gold is because of the passive. Upon dying, you're revived with 30% of your HP. Your enemies will have to decide whether to attack you or your teammates which will let you cause as much havoc as possible. Double the lives = double the trolling.
Offensive Items
Void Staff:Only get if enemies are stacking MR. Swap out Liandry's. Ehh, I don't really like this item. I feel like Liandry's is always a better option unless who ever you're facing is stacking MR on MR. (like if they have 130-150+ MR)
Rod of Ages:Good if you're new to Singed.RoA used to be a core item on
Zhonya's Hourglass:An OK item if you're wanting more armor and damage.Zhonya's actually isn't too bad on
Abyssal Scepter:Good item if you need damage along with MR.Another item that used to be core on
Early Game!
Singed has an ok early game, it is all about playing smart. After leashing for your jungler, ask yourself, who am I facing? If it is someone who has weak early game, like
Akali, then you will want to play aggressive. If it is someone like
Darius, you will want to play a tad bit on the passive side and farm up. You also have to take in account who the jungler is. Depending on who the jungler is, they will usually attempt at around the 3:30-4:15ish so be ready and make sure to have your ward up. (taking in account you're pushed)
Ok, now onto the actual lane phase itself. Make sure to get all SAFE last hits. Meaning don't go for a last hit that will result in free harass. And like I said before, if you're facing someone who has a weak early game, attempt to zone with
Poison Trail. Don't overextend without a ward either, because you'll most likely die. You can start and play even more aggressive once you're level 3-4. To do so, simply
Fling +
Poison Trail. Keep in account of your mana, you don't want to run out. If you have eyes on the jungler, you can proxy. Once I am either OOM or low HP, I will back and pick up my tear/boots.

Mid Game!
Mid-game is commonly recognized as the point were you and the enemy team will contest for dragon fights, try and take all first tier towers, and maybe have little skirmishes here and there. This is also the point were
Singed's threat level greatly increases. If you have eyes on whomever you're facing top lane, stay top. Keep trying to deny them. Purposefully overextend to try and draw up the jungler or possible mid-laner. That way, if they do come top, your team can safely take towers or do dragon. Remember, League is a game of objectives, so that should be your first priority. If you see 3+ people hovering around mid, you can either continue to split push, or go mid to help your team. Generally, you have to decide what is better. If your team has a big advantage, chances are you just want to stay top and push. If you they really need you, you should join them because you will be a great asset to them.

Late Game!
Late game is when
Singed turns into a monster. You definitely should have taken your first and second tier tower out and maybe have damaged your third. Try to push out any lane that is pushing towards you, but don't go afk farming a lane though. You don't always have to stick with your team because sometimes split-pushing is better. But in most cases, you're going to want to stick with your team. Care for an enemy baron attempt because baron is one of the most important late game objectives and can turn games around. You can also try to catch anyone out of position, like an
Ashe farming bot lane all by her lonesome self.

How to Teamfight!
Singed is a monster in teamfights. You should be disrupting as many people as possible with your kit. Try to get people to focus you, this will let your team get free damage. I like to rush the highest priority target and use everything I have on him. (Fling, Ignite, Poison) Don't isolate yourself to far away though, you need to stay with your team.
Another tip, try not to engage.
Singed isn't a natural engager. Wait for someone like Jarvan or Amumu to do that.

Master YiEasy Match-up. Difficulty: 3/10
The new Yi is real easy to beat. Trade with him and zone as much as possible. You can proxy against him and he will not be able to retaliate. If you make a mistake and he capitalizes on it, you should probably invest in

Knowing how to proxy farm is real important as
Singed. It is essential you do this everygame, I'll explain why, what, and how to do it:
Proxy farming is where you go behind either the first, second, or even the inhib turret and farm. You generally want to stick to the first or second tower to farm but if you're feeling incredibly ballsy, you can proxy mid and top at the same time by going into the enemies base.
First off, you're going to be getting every creep wave which allows you to get huge gold income. You're also forcing your lane opponent to farm under tower with no minions, which usually means they're going to miss some creeps and their tower is going to get damaged. It is even better if they try to stop you because they will be missing tons of gold and XP. You also draw attention to yourself, causing the jungle and mid laner to gank you, which is a good thing because they will be missing XP and it opens up your other lanes to play more aggressively and take objectives. (Dragon, towers)
It's easy! You generally don't want to do it immediately, instead wait for your first back until you get
Tear of the Goddess and
Boots. After that, push to the enemies tower and run behind it. After the creep wave comes, activate
Poison Trail and run back and forth, poisoning all the minions. You can hide in the bushes behind the tower if you're waiting for the creeps to come also. Simple as that!
While you're proxing, you have to pay attention to where the mid-laner and jungler is. Like I said before, it is great if they come for you, but you still should have vision on them at all times just in case you need to plan your escape if they come. If you don't have vision on the jungler/mid laner and you suddenly see your top lane opponent walk away from her tower to fight you, chances are someone is around.
Another tip is to watch where your minions are to pinpoint where the enemy minions are.
ooooo
The black circles highlights this. Since your minions are at your second tower, you know the enemy minions are at the second tower.
What if I died once or twice, isn't that bad? You may ask that question but the answer is no. It is going to take a lot of effort to kill you so even if you do manage to die, they probably had to atleast burn some summoners and their ults. If you keep dying, you aren't going to be worth as nearly as much gold as it would take to be worth killing you because the top laner will be missing creeps and XP, same as the jungler. I am not saying to die on purpose, but dying isn't bad at all. (Unless you want a high KD ratio, you selfish bastard)
