Perfectionist
You will probably feed for a while if you are new to Singed, but this is perfectly normal because Singed is a very unique and deceptively hard champion. Just try not to tilt and you'll learn with time.

Singed Baron/Support guide, with matchups.

For this guide, I'd like to address stuff like proxy and items, and also alternative roles for Singed. This will also talk about hard matchups and some "combos".

Item Build Description

Additional information on the items

STARTING ITEMS


SingedSinged has many possible starting items, and I want to talk about the ones I think are best. Boots are my personal choice, as you can get a cheese kill at level 1 or 2 with your movement speed from the active. Into lanes where you will be harassed, I'd recommend either Ruby CrystalRuby Crystal , Cloth ArmorCloth Armor , or Null-Magic MantleNull-Magic Mantle . These are good into champions of their respective types, or Ruby CrystalRuby Crystal works if you are not sure who is going Baron, or if they do lots of mixed damage.


BOOT ENCHANTMENTS


Boots are a very important part of SingedSinged , especially if you need to build them early. For your tier 2 boots, you should either go defensive into games where you will get bullied, by buying either Plated SteelcapsPlated Steelcaps or Mercury's TreadsMercury's Treads , or you can also go aggressive with Boots of SwiftnessBoots of Swiftness if you wanna go fast. For your full tier 3 boots, you have a few options. The 2 best options are either Protobelt EnchantProtobelt Enchant or Glorious EnchantGlorious Enchant . Protobelt EnchantProtobelt Enchant is really good if you opted not to take Flash, as it functions as a small dash to use FlingFling on people and catch them off guard. Glorious EnchantGlorious Enchant lets you run around a team fight really well, which is really the intention of playing SingedSinged . You also may want to opt for Quicksilver EnchantQuicksilver Enchant , if the enemy team has a lot of crowd control.


AP BRUISER


This is my favorite build on SingedSinged , because of the agency you have throughout the game.

Rod of AgesRod of Ages is an item that keeps you relevant throughout the entire game. The scaling AP, Mana, and Health make you a bit of a stat-stick, and the early first purchase of Catalyst of AeonsCatalyst of Aeons lets you stay in lane for a long time.

Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter is SingedSinged 's bread-and-butter item. This lets you and your team dominate team fights and the slow also lets you get some picks off with Poison TrailPoison Trail and FlingFling .

Dead Man's PlateDead Man's Plate has an insane passive on SingedSinged as the movespeed not only lets you roam faster, it also lets you run around more in teamfights. The damage on basic attacks is also very useful to solo kill people. Can be swapped with Force of NatureForce of Nature or Abyssal MaskAbyssal Mask if need be.

MorellonomiconMorellonomicon works well with SingedSinged Poison TrailPoison Trail , as it constantly procs while you run around. This is also why Infinity OrbInfinity Orb works well. 


TANK


This is boring but is needed sometimes.

Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter is SingedSinged 's bread-and-butter item. This lets you and your team dominate team fights and the slow also lets you get some picks off with Poison TrailPoison Trail and FlingFling .

Dead Man's PlateDead Man's Plate has an insane passive on SingedSinged as the movespeed not only lets you roam faster, it also lets you run around more in teamfights. The damage on basic attacks is also very useful to solo kill people. Can be swapped with Force of NatureForce of Nature or Abyssal MaskAbyssal Mask if need be.

Force of NatureForce of Nature is average on SingedSinged , but can be a drop-in replacement for Dead Man's PlateDead Man's Plate if the enemy team has no AD. If you want some more damage, swap this for Abyssal MaskAbyssal Mask

MorellonomiconMorellonomicon works well with SingedSinged Poison TrailPoison Trail , as it constantly procs while you run around. This anti-heal is very important on tank singed, as you don't want people out healing what little damage you have.

Randuin's OmenRanduin's Omen means those scummy ADC players aren't able to play the game. The attack speed reduction is amazing because Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter lets you stick onto the ADC, while their attack speed is reduced.


SUPPORT


There isn't much of note new item-wise, so just read the tank section for the items. Zeke's ConvergenceZeke's Convergence is taken because it procs on Insanity PotionInsanity Potion , and it's very cheap.

AP BRUISER RUNES


Runes on SingedSinged are EXTREMELY flexible, no matter what you take you will almost never have a bad runepage. This is my favorite aggressive runepage for SingedSinged . Conqueror allows you to use FlingFling into Poison TrailPoison Trail while harassing them with basic attacks. Once you have basic attacked them 3 times, your Conqueror is fully stacked. For your red rune, I like Gathering Storm. This lets SingedSinged scale into a bit of a monster late-game, but you are a bit worse early. You also can run Triumph if you want to stay in a fight as long as possible, or Brutal if you want a bit more lane dominance. For your green runes, you want either Hunter Titan or Spirit Walker. Both of these make you a bit tankier, but Spirit Walker is better early (also should be taken into DariusDarius or NasusNasus ). For your blue rune, you want to take Pathfinder. This lets you roam around the map really fast (especially when paired with Dead Man's PlateDead Man's Plate . Pack Hunter seems like a good choice, but it is often useless because you won't always be with your team, as SingedSinged can splitpush well.

TANK RUNES


Aftershock is the only real keystone for tank singed. It procs on FlingFling , and once you have Rylai's Crystal ScepterRylai's Crystal Scepter you can almost always do the damage from aftershock. For your red rune, you take Brutal always. This is because brutal increases your base stats (more importantly base damage), and SingedSinged doesn't build much AP in this build.  For your green rune, you always want conditioning. This is because SingedSinged is a late-game stat-stick, so you want scaling runes if you can sacrifice your early a little bit. Once you get Abyssal MaskAbyssal Mask and Dead Man's PlateDead Man's Plate , you will have lots of armor and magic resistance from conditioning, and brutal will keep you at least slightly relevant damage-wise. Pack Hunter is really good on tank SingedSinged , and this is because you won't have much tenacity from runes, unlike in the bruiser runepage. Tank SingedSinged also needs to be with a team to do much, so pack hunter will be useful.

SUPPORT SINGED


This is a bit of a strange runepage but is very useful because all those insta-lock GarenGaren and AkaliAkali 's force you to play support sometimes. You run aftershock because this is a tank playstyle, and you need to run weakness to get early kills with FlingFling . Loyalty is good in lane and out lane when roaming, as it means you can take a bit of a beating (which you will when playing support SingedSinged ). Pack hunter is the obvious choice here because the rest of your runes are team-oriented, but you can also run pathfinder if you will roam more often.

Summoner Spells

When to take which summoners

Ghost
This summoner spell is amazing on Singed and can be combined with Glorious Enchant to get some serious speed. I'd take this whenever possible. This is a flash replacement usually, but it can be used with any summoner spell, including flash.
Ignite
This is essential for cheese kills early, and can be used to stop people that heal like Dr. Mundo. Can be used with Ghost or Ignite.
Flash
This is most champs best tool, but not so much on singed. But, when used with Ignite (or exhaust if you are playing support), you can get some serious picks off using fling. Use this with any other summoner spell.
Exhaust
Only use this when playing support, but using this early can get good picks on the enemy ADC or Support. Only ever use this with flash, as flash is required to play support.

Combos

Learn how to maximize the champions potential

Fling
3rd
Auto Attack
AA

This is called a sky auto and is useful in many situations. Essentially, if you are locked onto the enemy champions and use FlingFling , mash your basic attack as fast as you can, and you will attack them while they are in the air. Best used when flinging your opponent into Poison TrailPoison Trail

Fling
3rd
Mega Adhesive
2nd
Poison Trail
1st

This combo is deceptively hard, and needs setup to use. This is best done by putting Mega AdhesiveMega Adhesive on the back of your minion wave, and when your opponent walks up to farm minions, use FlingFling into the Mega AdhesiveMega Adhesive , and it will root them in your minions. This lets you basic attack them, and attack them with Poison TrailPoison Trail , so you get lots of free damage off.

Auto Attack
AA

This is mostly a reminder, but if you take conqueror, you need to basic attack people. SingedSinged Poison TrailPoison Trail does not stack it well, so you might as well not have a keystone if you don't basic attack,

Singed

Early game tips on Singed

SingedSinged 's early game is surprisingly good, with the ability to easily get a level 2 kill with FlingFling plus ignite. Make sure to take early auto-attack battles vs picks like NasusNasus if they are offered, as if they chase (even a tiny bit), you win it. After this powerspike, you basically just need to farm and roam until midgame.

Singed

Midgame tips on Singed

Midgame SingedSinged serves as a dominant teamfighter, and can often be the sole cause of winning the good ole' 10 person mid. You want to be in as many teamfights as possible, running lane to lane. If you can't do this for whatever reason, try to splitpush. Push in the waves into the tower, then attack the tower until you can proxy the next wave, clear the next wave then return to hitting the tower. This takes towers incredibly fast.

Singed

Lategame tips on singed

Lategame SingedSinged is like midgame SingedSinged , but you are praying for the perfect team fight because if you can kill the entire enemy team you simply win the game because of your waveclear. Remember to hit the nexus.

Singed

WTF HOW DO YOU PROXY

This is a question I have seen a lot, and the answer is you mostly don't. It's not good and is only good to clear a wave or 2 after killing your enemy laner.

Singed

Is SINGED SUPPORT troll?

This is a question I'll see often in champion selection. The answer is kinda. SingedSinged is not a support all because of his Poison TrailPoison Trail . This ability is his best and most of his damage, but you can't use it well. This is why SingedSinged support maxes FlingFling first because it allows for lots of utility. But this is a very good cheese pick when combined with certain ADCs, such as Miss FortuneMiss Fortune or JinxJinx .

why you don't build winter's approach in tank singed?

Because it grants raw HP + mana which is not optimal for Singed. Abyssal Mask grants the same thing including MR and +15% magic damage.
