You talk all about his short range CC.

But uh... what kind of Singed player doesn't build movement speed? Plus, he's a tank. He's SUPPOSED to be in the middle of a teamfight, it's hardly difficult to fling someone if you are on the front line.

His poison isn't meant to kill, or even do large amounts of damage. It's supposed to be a deterrent- it makes champions not WANT to go near his trails, which is great, because it allows him to keep people away from important targets on your team.

What I don't think you've quite grasped is that Singed isn't a "normal" tank, by which I mean he doesn't do what most tanks do- initiate with a gapcloser or large CC effect, then soak up damage while you team moves in for the proper fight. Singed has absolutely no Initiation tools aside from just running at the enemy team. You can't just take him into a solo queue match and hope to do well with him, unless you team somewhat knows how exactly he works. Rather, Singed excels as a peeler and counter-initiator. He punishes someoen trying to initiate on your team with fling, and zones incredibly effectively through use of glue and poison, as they can be incredibly hazardous. Rylais Crystal Scepter, in particular, is great for punishing those who walk into your glue or poison. Don't forget, movement speed is one of the most important stats in the game, nullifying it gives your team a great advantage. Calling a 75% slow "mostly harmless" is all kinds of laughable. Assuming that "just safely flash away" is a good thing is also laughable. Flash has a hell of a lot higher CD than 14 seconds. Making someone burn it just to get out of the slow is such an incredible advantage I can't even begin to fathom how you think this isn't a thing to respect.

I'll ignore the superiority complex you are harboring, since I'm having a lot of trouble believing you have such an incredible and amazing Elo that we should all totally respect your opinion. I mean, you can totally post your Elo in a screenshot to prove me wrong in that regard, but I still won't give a damn unless you are also getting paid to play this game. I'm not going to listen to what some guy with a hammer tells me with regards to putting up a wall unless he actually get's paid to know his shit, why the hell should I pay attention to what someone on the internet who plays a game says without proof of the same?

P.S The amount of Melee range CC on champions is kind of ridiculously insane. Funny how nobody goes to Volibear's page and says Rolling Thunder is shit.
