Singed is far less mana hungry than you'd think. His Q barely costs anything so long as you don't just blindly leave it on, his W and E are utility moves with high cooldowns, and his Ulti is basically free. In short, the mana is NOT needed.

Even with the bonus health, its far more effective to just buy raw HP. Why go through the tedious chore of fully stacking a tear for a mere 250 HP? You'd get more hp from just a giants belt.

And if you look at Singed mains nowadays (Especially after the AP item changes), they barely even use his passive. Most opt for a Rylai's rush, followed by a focus on raw defense.

I think his underlying problem is similar to that of alot of the Juggernaut type-champs where either his raw stats are enough to let him brute-force his way through teamfights, or he just get's kited out and is reduced to the backline's babysitter. Brute force such as this is hard to make fair, due to how theirs so little in the way of playing around it
