Track: Singed's E — Fling (10–8s cooldown). The flip into his goo — never chase into range while it is up.
Read from Mel's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Singed.
This is Mel's own plan; across 829 pooled games the lane is Singed-favoured.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Mel | Fling reaches 125 and Poison Trail is a toggle he pays mana for — poke him as he steps to the wave. |
| Level 2 | Mel | Solar Snare is 11s to Fling's 10s — root him as he commits and free-poke the rooted target. |
| Level 3 | Mel | With Q, E and W online you out-range his fling, root his step-ups, and disengage his poison trail with W's shield and ms. |
| Levels 4-5 | Mel | Your Q ranks up and Overwhelm stacks from repeated pokes faster than a pre-Rylai's Singed can drain them back. |
| Level 6 | Mel | Golden Eclipse detonates stacked Overwhelm from any range, so you chunk or execute him even as he flings and kites away. |
| First item | Mel | Your AP + mana item lets you chain Q and detonate freely while he still has no gap-close to punish you. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Full drain-tank Singed out-sustains your poke and his Rylai's slow plus move speed run you down past your one root — play safe and end before this. |
Singed only has Fling and Poison Trail early, and neither out-ranges your 550 Q — so this is your window to bully. Hold Solar Snare for the exact moment he walks inside Fling's 125 range: root him, Q the stationary target, then step out before the trail tics you down. Do NOT dry-Q the wave while he is that close, because his kill pattern is flipping you into the trail and toward his tower. Keep stacking Overwhelm off Q and empowered autos while he still can't sustain it.
