Well, I mean, sometimes the shit we have is just better even though you would think that something else would be optimal. I mean, just try to play a consul game without a controller or a fighting game without a pad.

Playing a fighting game with a standard gamepad is like playing starcraft2 with a gun controller. How can one finger (right thumb) be responsible for 4 inputs?


it's called claw grip
you use your fingers on the inputs instead of your thumb

Well, claw grip is awesome for Tekken and older KoF games, but for 6 buttons games it's pretty damn terrible, except if pressing buttons with your left hand makes sense to you :p

singed is generally a bit fucked against ranged champions IMO. If they have mana then a viable strategy is to try to avoid as much damage as possible and try to just push whenever possible. Some kind of regeneration can help so if you cant buy cata on your first bluepill then consider buying a dorans ring or a philo stone.

the mr runes tip is actually huge. don't worry about getting alot of flat mr if you can farm and push more safely with them they are definitely worth it.

If the enemy AP isn't being fed blue (eg. if they are purple team) and they can't spam their wave clearing skills, singed is a very good pick. They shouldn't be able to harass you out of lane unless you just stand in their skillshots. Survive until cata with timely teleports and ult to heal back up whenever you are pushing lane or are below a certain threshold that could potentially result in death. Eventually start farming in between towers while dragon is up to draw their jungler/mid so your team can dragon.

The main thing about playing against APs is knowing how much burst they can potentially land against you. Don't be shy about basing to avoid death.

I dont know about vlad though, he is very annoying in lane for any melee.

Random question... am I undervaluing defensive tree or are some pros overvaluing it?

I see Dyrus recommending 1 21 8 on Singed, I see Oddone running 0 21 9 on Udyr or Skarner.


In all those cases I click the crap in the defensive tree find asking myself "wtf am I doing here?" and want to spec to 21 offense immediately afterwards.

Edit: Like, for going deep into defense I get some MS buff and the +3% health / -10% disables. And I feel as if that's it. Compared to all dat offensive damage I'm sad.

Low defense tree is actually useful for people who want early tank.

For example, this is what I run on tanky junglers. It essentially makes it so you dont take damage from minions and makes opening regrowth not suck quite so bad.

Yeah like the first 9 points, totally agree. But 21? I feel completely fine on all my junglers with the armor bonus+bladed armor. I just feel SO BAD when I put more than 9 points in there compared to the offensive tree. Like, even on someone like Cho or Singed I don't feel that the 21 def helps more than the 21 off. =(

The health is great for people who are going to buy lots o resists early on in the game (ie support jungles who open regrowth) and movespeed and cdr is pretty damn good for tanky deeps. And 3% health and 10 tenacity is pretty sweet. The second to last row does suck though.

Udyr just gains too much from going 21/9 when jungling. Udyr ganks rely entirely on ms so getting all the ms masteries is pretty important as Udyr. You don't really gain much from the offensive tree when playing pheonix anyway.

I don't really get how you don't understand why you'd spec like that on Singed though. Singed is one of those few champs that nearly everyone would unanimously agree on forfeiting the offensive tree. Just think about the composition roles Udyr and Singed have. They play beefy roles that can take hits and run around trying to disorient the enemy team.

I don't play Skarner so idk.

and enlightenment is really good on Udyr. Most champs make the most of their mastery points speccing in the offensive tree but the defensive tree really isn't as bad as most people try to make it seem, and there are plenty of champions that don't make use of the offensive tree enough to forgo the defensive tree.

Utility sucks for everyone past 9 points except supports though, for real.

Minor quip: I'd get 3 points Meditation rather than 4 points Swiftness. 1 mp5 per point is as good as it ever was--hell, with the old masteries it was a toss-up between ditching 1 Meditation vs 1 Swiftness when you got a point in Greed. 1 mp5 was exactly comparable to 1% MS. And now Swiftness is half as good? Seems like a no-brainer to me. 0.5% MS per point is terrible by comparison.

Meh. I typically have no use for mana regen. I either have blue, or a philo which is all the mana regen I need.

It really doesnt matter if the movespeed is reduced: the currency in new jungle is movespeed- how fast you can get from camp to camp. Someone with movespeed will always be ahead of someone without it.

My thoughtprocess kinda goes like this: 9 points give me the mres/armor bonus and either bladed armor or 3/4 points in the health/level thing.

The next cool stuff is the MS bonus at 70% health and the cdr/level. 3% health is like nothing even when you stack health (+100 health at 3k total, come on).

So what I get out of defensive tree is a nonpermanent MS buff, 10% tenacity (which afaik stacks multiplicative with mercs etc.) and like 8% cdr at lvl 18.


How do those stats help me achieve my goal of being a disruptive tanky champion?

Taking Singed as an example, instead I can get +AP/AD, AP/level, 5% on my total AP and more damage to targets below 40% health. Assuming I'm the tankiest champion on the team I will be in way more situations where I'm one of the last ones standing and dealing damage.


Like, defensive tree to me just sounds cute and utility-like, but not as if it makes me more tanky or more a pain in the ass for the enemy team.

Alright, so I'm currently playing HORRIBLY and decided to go take a break from my usual patterns and rather go practice some new champs for each role. Currently, my mains are Kennen/Panth/WW top, Skarner/Mao/The Moose in the jungle, Kennen/Brand mid and Soraka/Sona support. I rarely ever play AD.

I have looked over some past games and have come to realize I sacrifice too much farm for harassing my opponent and was thinking about champs who either excell well at farming while harassing or have such a beast late game you don't even have to worry about harassing your opponents. Boredom plays a pretty big role here I feel and I really want to change things up. Basically meaning learning a couple of champs from the get-go and try to get every single last hit each game.

So I thought, hell, go learn Singed/GP, Ahri/Fizz/Ryze, Nocturne/Lee, Corki/Sivir.

Any other suggestions?

if you want to huehuehue farm, i would suggest singed, mordekaiser, vlad, renekton, cass, malz, karthus, sion, all heroes that spam down waves and then go do other stuff. The secret weapon of abusive pushers is actually corki mid, stick on a chalice on him and you just. Can't. Stop him from farming.
