Playing as Singed
Tips to maximize your impact
- Fling them into your glue
Cast Mega Adhesive (W) behind you, then Fling (E): a target flung into the glue is rooted there.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Jax
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Short trades
Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.
- Back off during Counter Strike
During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.
- Trade after his E
Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.
- Don't let him split push alone
In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
