How to win lane as Mordekaiser against Singed · 47.92% win rate over 1,157 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither of you commits at level 1 — one ability, no aura stacks, and he's already drifting to proxy, so just last-hit and wait. |
| Level 2 | Mordekaiser | Your level 2 Q+E lets you E-pull him off his poison trail and Obliterate single-target for the bonus damage — the rare moment you out-trade him. |
| Level 3 | Mordekaiser | By level 3 your E-pull plus Q and the first Darkness Rise ticks punish any greedy melee last-hit before he can flip away. |
| Levels 4-5 | Singed | He settles into his proxy routine behind tower and chips you with poison while you shove empty waves — his kiting beats your slow approach. |
| Level 6 | Mordekaiser | Realm of Death banishes him into a 1v1 where his move speed and proxy escape are useless, and your aura plus W shield win the duel — you own 6. |
| First item | Singed | Past first item he's proxying lanes away from you; with one R per long cooldown you rarely catch him, and his poison out-paces your aura. |
| Two+ items | Singed | Full Rylai's/Liandry's/Riftmaker Singed out-runs and out-sustains your flat late game, kiting your slow Q whenever R is down. |
Singed will not stand and fight you, so the early bully fantasy mostly dies — he'll proxy behind your tower while you shove an empty wave. Don't chase him into his poison trail; the move speed from Darkness Rise can't outrun a Singed running ghost plus his W self-speed. Your one real window is Levels 1-3: if he greeds for a melee last-hit, E-pull him in, W to bank a shield, and Q-Obliterate him single-target for the bonus damage before he repositions. Otherwise just farm, hold your stacks, and keep your eyes up — a Singed who flings you under your own tower is the only way you die here.
