As said before, to deal with proxy Singed pick a strong puser or someone who can deal with the minion's damage and clear somewhat fast. Some pro in his stream said something that makes sense: give the Singed kills to other lanes. If your mid picks up 500 gold from killing Singed twice, he will have an advantage in his lane, making him or her more prone to roaming and getting other lanes fed. Sounds legit, though it will require some map awareness and skill (catching Singed... yeah easy xD) from everyone involved (junler too, so that more people get assist gold) and the top laner to be adecuate to deal with proxying.

And, by the way, proxy Singed is not overpowered. It is toxic. It changes the laning phase into one of the most unfun experiences in LoL if you are not prepared to deal with him. That is what toxic means. Overpowered is a champion whose numbers/mechanics make for unfair matchups when pitched against comparable champions. Proxy Singed is an exploit of the game's rules that creates a situation that has little or no counterplay. A smart exploit, but an exploit nonetheless.

Also, maybe it's because I don't play in high elos, but people that can proxy well are far too few. I've seen this fail far more than succeed.
