Singed vs Locke Counter Pick

Singed converts this lane at 57.6% across 297 games on patch 16.13.1, and the split follows from two damage types pointing in opposite directions. Locke’s output is physical, aimed at 34 base armor rising to 105.4, while Singed’s magic damage meets 32 base magic resistance backed by 103.4 armor that contributes nothing against it.

Soul Ignition decides most exchanges. It grants Locke attack speed and movement speed while damaging him, returning only a portion of that health when the duration ends, which is a poor button to press while standing in Poison Trail. Silver Stake scales its on-hit magic damage with missing health, so the longer he stays in the trail, the more his own design serves the fight his opponent picked.

His outs are Ashen Pursuit, a teleport followed by a dash onto the next target, and Purgatory, which can execute wounded enemies and pays him for sealing champions away. Both want Singed low, and both are answered by the same habit of refusing to get there. Mega Adhesive grounds a champion whose escape is a dash, Fling reverses the direction of a committed pursuit, and Insanity Potion adds Grievous Wounds to the trail against the heal at the end of Soul Ignition. Equal 125 attack range means neither poked the other out first. Kits: Singed and Locke.
