They have both shitty early game and both of them get stronger the longer the game goes. Both deal magic damage.

Singed is a pure tank played top lane. If you want to run INTO the enemy team, he's the person you want. Once you get an item or two, you never die. Ever. Your laning phase is 100% farming, but you can provide some ganking assistance. You are weak against early assassins and people with high DPS (Malz, Riven, Renekton...). At one point you gather enough gold to reach a turning point (usually once you get a RoA and a BV/FH) and you go from being a weak tank with no damage to an unkillable farming nightmare. In teamfights, standard procedure is to run into the enemy team with your poison and ult on, slow them all and fling the enemy AD carry into the middle of the fight.

Kassa is a mid assassin that relies on his mobility to deal unavoidable damage. You spend the first 6 levels trying to farm the scraps the enemy mid allows you to get, then you proceed to force everyone you can out of lane either by killing them or by failing to do so. Weak against anyone not particularly squishy that's either unaffected by silence or that can deal reliable damage with ranged autoattacks (Cait, Fizz, Zilean... they outrange you or can avoid you damage). Kassa has a very strong roaming phase and snowballs like crazy. His playstyle is very peculiar, because you have to kill people in several burst whith ~8 second cooldown on each. You can go full glass cannon with AP+CDR or tanky+AP. In teamfights, you burst squishies once everyone has engaged and finish off people who are low-life.
