League of Legends: Upcoming Singed Changes

Chances are if you’ve ever played in the top lane, you’ve had to deal with Singed. The top lane terror can proxy farm his way to victory and you’ll be left there wanting to rage quit. For Singed mains, you’re going to have to wait just a little longer.

According to Meddler, League of Legends Lead Gameplay Designer, “Changes won’t be shipping in 7.13 after all,” said Meddler. “We want to make building damage a better choice, but don’t feel we’ve got the right changelist for that yet.”

So instead, Meddler and the team will be looking deeper in order to get Singed just right, starting with his passive ability. “Going to be exploring passive modifications for 7.14, though not guaranteed we’ll necessarily ship anything (this is still budgeted as balance work, not an update, though one of those at some point could make some sense too).”

Also, one of League of Legends longest tenured champions could be getting a change to one of his abilities that truly makes him unique. Cho’Gath has always been able to toggle on and off his spikes with his E ability, Vorpal Spikes. In case you missed our article earlier on in the week, we’ll catch you up here!

The changes are supposed to make Cho’Gath hurt front lines more and make toggling his E on and off something you have to pay attention to. “Looks like we should be able to ship those previously mentioned Cho changes in 7.14,” said Meddler. “What we’re currently testing there is changing E to an active rather than a toggle, where it empowers Cho’s next three auto attacks with the AOE spikes that deal % max enemy hp as magic damage and apply a decaying slow. CD’s really short when leveled. Goals there include giving Cho a more juggernaut like damage profile (able to hurt beefier front lines better if they’re all he can reach), putting a bit more interaction into use of the E and adding a bit of power.”
