Playing as Singed

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Fling them into your glue

    Cast Mega Adhesive (W) behind you, then Fling (E): a target flung into the glue is rooted there.

  2. Deny dashes with your glue

    Cast Mega Adhesive (W) under an enemy who has a dash: in the glue, they're slowed and grounded, so they can't dash.

  3. Circle them in your poison

    Circle around enemies with Poison Trail (Q) on: every enemy following you walks through the poison, which damages them every second.

  4. Insanity Potion before you dive

    Drink Insanity Potion (R) before you dive: you gain power, resistances and speed, and your trail applies Grievous Wounds, which reduces their healing.

  5. Draw several chasers

    In a side lane, draw several enemies into chasing you: they walk through Poison Trail (Q), and that's that many players missing from objectives.

Playing against Gangplank

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Pop his kegs before he does

    Destroy his kegs before he does: a Powder Keg (E) destroyed by an enemy is defused, and each keg loses health over time.

  2. All-in, he has no dash

    If you can engage, go all-in: his kit has no dash to escape.

  3. Save a CC for after his W

    If your team has several CCs, don't use them all at once: Remove Scurvy (W) cleanses all his CC, then has a 22 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Get out of his keg zone

    In teamfights, get out of his kegs' area: each Powder Keg (E) explosion deals the damage of the attack that set it off, ignores part of your armor and slows you.
