My Singed Playstyle Guide – Why I Think Singed Is Broken

This is my personal way of playing Singed, and I genuinely think people underestimate how strong this champion can be when played correctly.

You don't need to feed, force kills or constantly fight to win games. You need to understand your movement speed, spacing, abilities and map pressure.

TOP LANE

My philosophy is that you can make most top-lane matchups manageable if you learn to control the distance between you and your opponent.

I take Oracle Lens because I want to control the bushes. By clearing enemy vision, I make it much harder for my opponent to comfortably approach or use those bushes.

If they try to enter, I can use my passive movement speed to reposition and Fling them backwards with E.

I can also use W + E to root them and create distance while poking them with Q.

I play almost every matchup as if I'm against a ranged champion. I don't want my opponent to have an easy opportunity to catch me or trade with me.

The downside is that you need to invest in Control Wards to maintain river vision since you're sacrificing your normal warding trinket.

MID LANE

Mid lane is a different approach.

Your main priority is farming and avoiding skillshots until you get boots or find an opportunity to engage.

Look for opportunities to E your opponent towards you and finish them with Q and Ignite.

Abuse Homeguard whenever you return to lane. The movement speed can help you get back to farming quickly and maintain pressure.

Around levels 6–7, start looking for opportunities to roam with your jungler and top laner.

You don't always need to kill your mid opponent. Sometimes helping your team secure kills elsewhere is much more valuable.

THE MAIN PHILOSOPHY

I personally think Singed is an insanely strong champion when you combine his abilities, runes and the right playstyle.

You don't have to play like a stereotypical Singed player who constantly proxies and runs away.

You can control your lane, deny your opponent opportunities, survive difficult matchups and create advantages across the map.

I genuinely recommend trying this playstyle yourself.
