How to win lane as Locke against Singed · 42.8% win rate over 500 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Skill: level 1 is even — his poison trades against your on-hit poke. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Skill: at 2 the lane hinges on dodging his Fling, not raw stats. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Skill: level 3 stays even; his Mega Adhesive setups balance your Q burst. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Skill: through 4-5 it's still a coin-flip around his Fling cooldown. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Skill: at 6 his HP and mobility offset your fresh ult in a straight fight. |
| First item | Locke | Locke-favoured: your R (Purgatory) executes his low-HP poison retreats. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Skill: with items his tanky run-it-down style neutralises your single-target burst. |
This is a skill lane early — Singed will proxy and try to Fling (E) you into a bad spot, so respect his positioning and don't chase into fog. When he walks up to poison-tick the wave, punish with Q (Ritual Nails) marks and Silver Stake on-hits; you win any exchange where his Fling is on cooldown.
