Singed is still playable, but...

That removal of his CC Reduction from his ultimate his hugely noticeable. Noticeable to the point where its dangerous as singed to even try and turret dive your enemy so you can fling them if they are turret hugging and have some form of CC of their own.

It feels like RIOT really didn't know how else to nerf Singed aside from his Fling. Yet their reasoning still falls flat on its face when you realize that singed is a mobility tank. He was never meant to sit in the middle of a team fight and just take it. Hes meant to move around and be the focus of CC by the enemy that might have been used on say the Carry as Singed is very good at disrupting. By taking away the CC Reduction from him, they take what made Singed very unique compared to others.

Yet now all Singed players must BUILD that missing CC Reduction from some Tenacity item. The cheapest of course are the Mercury Treads.

I feel forced to use Cleanse on Singed or even a Quicksilver Sash to keep myself going lest I be bursted down.

I can understand that Singed is not as popular compared to some other champs in this game but at the same time its the fault of the enemy for not correctly hindering and countering a Singed.

Also for those saying simply use Defensive Masteries for Singed to recover that CC Reduction, keep in mind that Singed could have Mercury Treads and Tenacious at 3 ( Defensive) for a 44.75% CC Reduction. That was not including his ultimate which added a further 30% at max rank (Level 16). So no, you cannot "replace" the missing CC Reduction that Singed used to have even with the Defensive Tree and Tenacity Items.

If RIOT had even just halved it (5/10/15% from 10/15/20%), painful but it would still work and appease both the player who used Singed and played against Singed. However it seems that RIOT with this patch simply wanted to flatten whatever metaphorical "highground" that Singed actually had that made him unique to the League. They didn't buff a single thing about him.

Hopefully RIOT notices that they crippled Singed badly with this patch.

(tl;dr: Not QQing just stating that a champ has been crippled much more than it should have been intended.)

This is all like being punished for doing your job well and excelling at work but having to let the other employees get a shot at taking your job position because the boss for some reason just doesn't like one of your qualities.
