watched yesterday wingsofdeath lose to singed playing like this, at first WoD crushed him had like 70cs to 15 but 0-10 singed just keept running and proxy farm (he was worth no gold at this point)
when he farmed enough for roa + AA it took alot resources to stop him and it didnt matter he was behind, WoD team had no creeps to push turrets and couldnt afford to chase him all the time.
at the end wings lost that game and got outscaled badly by singed as renekton, tbh i think singed is still a very silly champion

Same thing happened to Voyboy earlier on his final promo game to Challenger. Got mad fed as Olaf, then everyone slowly lost as Singed continued being a bitch.

Does Olaf even carry at all anymore? :'(

voy played full tank olaf in that game, its hard to solo carry with full tank when ur the only one fed in ur team, but the fact singed can feed 0-20 and still be major annoyance is kinda dumb tho

Someone give me a Zac rune page.
I feel like when I go spectral wraith, I die too easily, and when I go Ancient Golem, I do no damage unless I'm super fed. That's fine when your laners do well, but when your mid Lux does dumb stuff like rush Lich Bane, the lack of damage is a problem.
I have been going 9/21, e-> w-> q. Mpen reds, armor yellows, mr/lvl blues, MS quints (although I also tried Armor and Spell Vamp quints). I don't clear particularly fast, and my early ganks are really strong, but my teamfighting seems to only be good for the knockups.
Help a brother out. max W last. E>Q>W. your runes seem fine. zac's damage output is more about sustained damage, although his ERW burst can be pretty big if you get some mpen items. I like Guise into tanky stuff. Liandry's/Abyssal whenever you can. As for Wraith v. Golem, I prefer Golem. I tend to play Zac top lane though 'cause I feel like he's more effective with lane farm than the farm you can get as a jungler.
But...isnt it better to go spellvamp quints on zac? The movespeed seems kinda abundant when you can use E to get around, he seems to suffer more from HP loss while farming early then mobility imo.
Obviously after like, level 6, both are completely pointless anyway because he just bounces around everywhere and sustains the fuck out of himself

I'm fine with the whole proxy farming thing, and I think it's pretty interesting in general. What irks me though is how quickly the Singed becomes worth nothing and how easy that is to exploit, to the point where there's literally no good choice if you're playing against it. You have to kill him, but you're receiving no reward for it. It doesn't make sense and it's counter-intuitive. Why should someone who's having such a big impact on the game give no reward to the enemy team for being killed?
I don't have a good answer to it, but I do think it's pretty lame.

2 wins with the singed thing, 10 deaths each game, still have the highest or near highest gold in the game
honestly the hardest thing is restraining yourself from killing their jungler when he comes to gank and has double buff... must... not... get... a .... kill...
|
Laneswap adc/support to singed lane, have support suicide in poison cloud. WOULD IT WORK? D:
Though I guess singed pretty much can laneswap all day.
|
I think it could be countered with a lane swap. Leave the ad at the turret to last hit, and have the support auto him whenever he shows up to lane until he dies. And of course he'll eventually get fed, so the support can reset his gold counter. I actually had a game like this like a year ago. Vlad bitched at me before I even finished killing blue for a gank to stop singed inbetween turrets.
If riot wants to nerf this, they'll just extended the turret range of turrets that can't be attacked so there's no room inbetween them. Problem solved.
edit: that will probably create more problems actually.
|
Couldn't you counter the singed thing by purposely feeding him a kill when he gets to 0-4, 0-5 or so?Jungler gets low clearing, walks into singed's poison without buffs on. The support could do it too.
Had someone try this last night vs my team, their bot lane fed terribly though so it didn't work out.

Its fairly easy actually.
#1. Revert the changes they made to deathstreaks. This way its not 300/261/182(WTF is this)/128/90/63/44/31/21/15, instead if it was the previous values: 300/255/217/185/157/133/113/96/90 the feeding strats are all much worse.
#2. If you make every 25 Minions = to an assist on the reset meter (aka bumps you up a tier if below 300 g).
Both these changes should be implemented regardless of the proxy feeding strat.
|
So is this singed / proxy tactic going to break the meta and/or the entire game untill riot fix it? lol.
If it becomes widespread i can see it being a huge problem really. I doubt singed is the only one who can make it work, nasus anyone? Q farm all day, E for quick clear and W to escape and suicide. Just another option.
Feel like this is going to blow up really fast for some reason lol
