u want to go as much damage as possible that is allowed for in general (i.e. such that you don't die). however when playing singed in particular knowing how squishy you are and varying your playstyle (shy's weaving as opposed to straight diving certain targets) is necessary. also, if the enemy makes focusing you a priority, you will die. what can your team make out of that focus / can they interrupt that focus? all of this needs to be taken into consideration, making this much damage harder to build in yolo queue against competent players or with a team that is not organized enough to take advantages of the openings you make.

Yeah seriously, that gamechanging teamfight was SO CLOSE. If it wasn't for madlife's hooks, Woong would have been picked off by diana (Diana was under half health before finally getting to dive him and Woong still almost dropped instantly.) and the second hook crushed the remainder of the fight.

Singed fling also crushed pretty hard, he managed to pick up Diana as she was flashing away, causing the flash to be burnt for no effect. (But skarner's not allowed to do that, no no.)

The tear change helped him immensely though: free HP, Mana to push all day and follow up to an Ap item with a shield, it's like so core...

It gave him more itemization options for sure, but Rod of Ages was always a perfectly acceptable way to get AP+tankiness on singed. Your core is probably gonna be based on either the tear or the catalyst, though.

Really disappointed by EG. I also don't fully understand what is happening to them. It's not like they have ever been less predictable, but they played their predicitability on a high level. And since last week it doesn't work anymore... huh?

They are forcing things they shouldnt be forcing and the other way around. For example last game Zed could have snowballed but they just kept afk farming instead of taking some blitz turrets. While they should be farming they are wasting time or people forcing bad ganks.

They gotta get it back together, but in the game vs frost they showed glimps of what they are capable of.

Can't wickd go mid lane?Singed can't lane vs orianna so I doubt he'd try it.

edit:There it is.

Hah.

Oh geez, Though EG got first blood off that, Oce now has doublebuff. Scary.

Edit: but wow, Wickd is crushing Oce in farm despite having doublebuff orianna autoattacks!

Neat play when blue spawns as hyrq shows bot

I LOVE having wickd in mid lane this game, he's pressuring so hard while froggen is on a champ who can really capitalize on superfarm mode.
