Hey people !
For context:
I'm currently having enourmous fun with Singed in the midlane. I always liked playing singed, but I never really thought about playing him in ranked since I'm not really confident in toplane and with the proxy playstyle, Singed isn't commonly a midlaner even if I knew it was a thing. I was trying to learn Gwen in ranked, and was "stuck" (I didn't really prioritzed ranking up atp) arround gold 4. When I started singed, my ranked skyrocked, now I just attained plat 4 within 30 games with singed main, somewhere arround 75% wr... I really fell in love with this playstyle, to be frank I've tried to find my playstyle for multiple years now, hoping from champions to champions, but here I really feel that I found myself, even if I would get bored of Singed now I know what's my playstyle. This champion is so fun is crazy !
Now that being said, I have some questions:
1) First of all, I feel like I'm kind of cheating..? Like as if I'm not approaching the game correctly, I'm really passionate for this game and I want to improve but playing a non-orthodox playstyle and having this good results... It makes me feel like I'm boosted by this pick and that my future ranking up wouldn't really be deserved, as if I'm abusing a broken secret strategy. I'd just like to have your opinions from y'all, is it normal ? Or legitimate ?
2) Another question is concerning itemisation, I love champions with variety and adaptativity in regards to builds, runes etc, and Singed fits this criteria quite well. But I don't really buy Liandry, because I feel like it's more important to adapt to enemies's composition to be tanky and peel/ingage well. I also know that Liandry is a very important item, or at least it's build a lot by singed players. I usually go boots and then raylay's into protoplasm, am I wrong not building more damage ?
3)Also, I really feel like in a lot of my games the botlane is a real problem. I'm not saying that all games are "bot diffs", that would be quite foolish to say. But what I mean is that most of the time it's the enemy adc that really makes the game complicated to me, especially when my team doesn't have the damage to kill them fast. Another character with which I struggle is Shyvanna jungle, she's really strong and buffy and I don't really seem to impact teamfights when she's in the enemy team. Do you have some tips or advices in regards to these situations ? And some recommandations in the ban department ? I wanted to ban Locke at first but I realized that outside of early game, later I can easily deal with him.
4) I also noticed that I may.. Die a little bit in the laning phase xD..? Like I play too overconfident, or I traid too much HP. I feel like I'm too scared of losing minions especially when farming is this "easy" with the minion execute, and yeah sometimes it works like against yasuo's I often get firstblood, but most of the time I feel like I make the game a little bit more difficult then it should be because of my early game. I try to take cs and try to roam but still I'm really fragile. Do you have some advice on this regards ? I guess the obvious one would be playing more safe and all, but in my head it's like: I'll be pocked no matter what, so at the very least let's get the waves and go to tower for fog of war and potential roams. I feel like I'm wrong but it's strangely difficult to fix.
Sorry for the length lol, I hope some of you may enlighten me, Singed is such a good and fun character it's crazy !
