We mentioned that Singed is a very interesting character. The general mechanics of the character are set to run. Yes, it really is about running. The interesting part is that Singed’s favorite lane is the top lane. Since there is no other character with a mechanic like Singed in the general theme of the game, our friend Singed inhabits the upper corridor with a unique mechanic. Of course, the fact that a character is interesting is not a sufficient reason for that character to be popular and playable. Singed also suffers from this because he’s not a very popular character.
One of the biggest reasons why it is not popular is that it is a character far from team play. Singed is such a character that you can easily hang out in the upper corridor by yourself. But during this time, you are independent from the rest of the game for a while. While there are many people who love and play Singed, they are a bit of a minority compared to the rest of the game. Still, its unique mechanics definitely make the character interesting. Now that we have briefly mentioned our crazy friend, we can now move on to Singed’s CTs, abilities, strengths and weaknesses.
Singed CTs: Counters strong against Singed
- Urgot
- Yasuo
- Yone
- Gangplank
- Poppy
Singed is really a character with abilities in running. Especially Singed players like the tactic of clearing the minions behind the opponent’s tower, which we call Proxy. Since Singed players generally like to farm, characters that are extremely strong in 1v1 battles can cause difficulties for Singed. Although early-stage characters like Yasuo, Yone or characters that can defy crowd control like Urgot are quite difficult for Singed, your job will be easier than you think as long as you get the opponent to chase you. However, if the opponent is not chasing you, we do not recommend going into head-to-head battles, especially in the early game.

Mad Alchemist Singed’s strengths and weaknesses:
Singed’s strengths:
- being able to push very quickly
- Being a tank
- despite being a character that gets stronger with ability power
One of the biggest purposes of existence of Singed push the corridor. Singed can really push the lane fast, especially when proxying. In addition, although he is a character that gets stronger with his ability power, Singed is a very tank character. Although it doesn’t show it in the early stages, it can be quite difficult to kill Singed from the middle stages of the game, especially when his ultimate is active. Aside from the fact that it is difficult to kill, the chase is already quite deadly, so when you combine this with its mobility, it can be a very frustrating combination for the opponent players.
Singed’s weak stats:
- Head-to-head combat isn’t one of Singed’s strong traits
- He’s pretty prone to taking Haras
- close to zero
Singed is a rather weak character when it comes to fighting head-to-head. You have to use the specific features of the character against your opponent. A straight war can result in your death very quickly. Being able to push the lane fast is one of the strong features of the character, but since he has to do it from very close range, he is in a very vulnerable position by the opponent. In addition, Singed has his own methods of killing opponents. This method, on the other hand, is usually based on killing the opponent by inflicting pain. Since the instant damage of the character is close to zero, this can cause problems in places.
How to play Singed in LoL?
- Try to constantly dominate with your poison
- If you manage to throw your opponent under your tower, you can do a lot of damage
- While your opponent is chasing you Don’t forget to use your ultimate ability
The poison he has through his Q ability is Singed’s biggest weapon. While pushing the minions in your lane, you can also put pressure on the opponent with your poison. But while doing this, carefully pushing the lane too much will create a position for the opposing jungler. There will definitely be situations where you can’t play raids. When your opponent pushes the lane towards you, you will have the opportunity to throw your opponent under the tower with your E ability. If your opponent starts chasing you, it will mean that he has fallen into your trap. This is a case where Singed is strong and don’t forget to support it even better with your ultimate.
How to play against Singed, how to beat Singed?

- Too bad for Singed to get close to you.
The first rule to know when playing against Singed is: Never chase Singed. There are certainly specific scenarios where this is useful when you chase. However, in general chasing Singed will result in your death. Singed needs to be in pretty close range when killing minions in the lane phase. Use this to your advantage and try to inflict damage as much as you can while killing minions. Singed needs to get pretty close to you to actively harm you. With crowd control or high damage, don’t give this chance to Singed too much and create a range where you can play comfortably.
