Its really hard to do anything as singed when you're shut off massively early game because your lane partner spends all his mana trying real hard to last hit and stops in his tracks when you get people down because his parents are telling him to gtfo.

You can take a solo lane as Singed.

[ECrownofFire]

So I thought of this champion a few days ago. His ultimate literally came to me in a dream.

I present to you:
Zaxin, The Puppetmaster.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Blah blah backstory.

Quote: "You are under the false impression that you have free will. Let me assure you that you do not."

Abilities:

Machination (passive): Zaxin appears as a normal minion on the minimap (just a dot instead of a small portrait), and is always grayed out on the scoreboard. (Basically you can only see him if you have your screen in the same area of him. TF's ult and such stil reveal as normal)

Devastation (Q): Launches a marionette at the target point. If it hits an enemy, it deals physical damage equal to your Attack Damage to them. Hitting a minion deals 10/30/60/70/90 bonus magic damage and decreases the cooldown by 6 seconds. Hitting a champion stuns them for 1.5 seconds. Cooldown 18/17/16/15/14 seconds.

Domination (W): Takes control of target basic minion (includes creeps; no cannons, supers, buffs, etc.) for 11/12/13/14/15 seconds. When it dies, you gain experience and gold as if it died normally, and heal for 50% of its maximum health (+1.0 AP). The dominated unit also deals 25% increased damage, and receives 25% reduced damage. Cooldown 25 seconds. (Minions continue on their lanes, jungle creeps follow you; both focus champions if available)

Manipulation (E): After a delay of 1.5 seconds, Zaxin teleports to the target location, damaging enemies in the area for 70/90/120/150/180 magic damage (+0.6 AD) and slowing them by 15% for 2 seconds. Cooldown 18 seconds.

Dance of Death (R): Zaxin suppresses his target and dances around them, decreasing damage to him and his target by 50%, and dealing 80/160/240 magic damage per second (+0.4 AP) to nearby enemies. Lasts for 5 seconds. (Cooldown 170/150/130 seconds)

Basically, the Q is the bastard of skill-shots. W is a weird puppet-y thing. The E is like a mini-mandrop from Pantheon. And the R is the result of Fiddlesticks, Galio, and Warwick's ults all mixed together. And the passive is just asking for some crazy ganking shenanigans.

[Astral]

The only issue I see is the whole "Puppet Master" title, since Heroes of Newerth shares a similarly named hero and they can't have anything remotely similar (Monkey King, store modifications and general shenanigans notwithstanding).

Otherwise I like the hero concept, though the passive is somewhat quirky. I would love to see the character's spirit jump out of its body and start howling down at him... (listening to Iron Maiden after seeing the name, heh).

[Cthulhu]

I'm not sure I like the passive, it'll basically make him a split-push/backdoor god, and split-push gods tend to be deposed pretty quickly (See: TF)

Also, getting the hang of Nocturne and starting to carry games with him.

Mercs, Wriggle, Youmuu, BV/Randuin (Depending on enemy teamcomp.  Noc seems to have a global taunt with his ridiculous ganks pissing everyone off so I really need that survivability, he still does shitboats of damage with just Wriggle/Youmuu), Trinity, BV/Randuin or Bloodthirster if I'm not dying or only need the one.

[umiman]

I see a lot of people do well with Atmogs Nocturne.

[Cthulhu]

I was considering that, I might try it some time.

Also, I love Jarman.  His ult pretty much guarantees successful ganks.

On the topic of progressing with characters, I've found that Wriggles-Boots-Bloodthirster works pretty well for Trundle. I'll need more matches with which to screw around with him, but this sure as heck beats rushing a Trinforce.

I know that if you rush a Bloodthirster on Trundle, your damage basically skyrockets.

I think most people just take the Triforce for the extra utility and stats it provides.

[Cthulhu]

Duo-queueing with breadbocks despite hearing bad things from LuckySpade.

He told me Morde's early game is hell and he can't push very hard.  Oh jeez.

EDIT:  Game over.  He didn't do very good, but I kicked enough ass for both of us so it was all good.

Also can confirm, Atmog's is awesome on Noct.

Also also, got Void Nocturne skin and that's when I start going from 5/2/15 to 15/2/5.  Coincidence?

Well, I know for a fact that the red Mordekaiser skins make him go faster.

And every Piltover Customs Blitzcrank is a bad Blitzcrank.

Yeah, the Phage slow and double damage from Q is really nice. Though I tried the Bloodthirster in a ultimate bravery game and it actually worked really well. Even more unkillable in teamfights.

Its really hard to do anything as singed when you're shut off massively early game because your lane partner spends all his mana trying real hard to last hit and stops in his tracks when you get people down because his parents are telling him to gtfo.

You can take a solo lane as Singed.

You don't get the solo lane bonus xp and gold when your lane partner is actualy there leeching your xp and stealing your last hits.

[Jopax]

So what's with all the AD Kog's lately?
Nobody seems to be doing the good old stack AS/OHE build for great win.Heck, they do AD even if the team allready has two AD carries, it's retarded really, if you do follow guides atleast follow those that are good enough to give you advice when you can't build the default build, because really, if you can't figure it out for yourself then atleast find someone who does it for you.

Edit:

Jungle Singed es#1 always gank never die

[Cthulhu]

Is it horrible teamcomp day or something?

Every game, three AD carries and Shaco.  Shaco alone is dodge-worthy in my book.  Whenever I get a decent teamcomp someone on the enemy team dodges.

EDIT:  Seriously, I've played one game today.  Just now I had Trynd, Renekton, Me (Jungle Nocturne), Blank, Jungle Warwick.  Warwick sees me jungling, analyzes the current teamcomp, and decides Master Yi is the best choice.  What the fuck.
