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 Nasus

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Deny his farm early

    Early on, take a trade whenever he steps up to last-hit a minion: each kill with Siphoning Strike (Q) increases its damage for the whole game.

  2. Freeze near your tower

    Freeze the wave near your tower: to farm with Siphoning Strike (Q), he then has to step up and expose himself to ganks.

  3. Wait out his storm

    Once he hits level 6, don't engage during Fury of the Sands (R): for 15 seconds, he gains health and resistances, and his area damage scales with your max health.

  4. Hit him while backing off

    In teamfights, if you're ranged, hit him while backing off: he has no dash, only Wither (W), a slow that grows stronger over time.
