49% Vamp Jungle singed is an unkillable counter jungling monster

Hello everyone, and welcome to my singed jungle guide, we'll start with personal introductions and then get into what the build can do in later sections!

First off, hello, I've been a singed one trick for going on at least a decade at this point as well as a season 3 veteran, though I've had quite the hiatus for awhile outside of the odd arena game, returning with classic I've spent quite a great deal of time on PBE experimenting and theory crafting for this wonderfully toxic, yet lovable man above and I think I've discovered something quite special I've decided to share with the community at large.

So without further ado~ How about a drink?

First of all, why might you want to play this build at all when you could take a more conventional jungler instead?

Pros
- Unmatched sustain, you will be able to heal through damage that would otherwise kill the largest juggernauts
- An incredibly fast clear speed that can even give Karthus a run for his money
- Extremely powerful ganking potential, Fling (E) is extremely powerful
- Vast build flexibility that can adapt to almost any game state
- Potentially the safest counter jungler in the game
Cons
- Has a hard time on the first clear, though it's still quite quick
- Very item reliant
- Medium skill floor required with Singed to use effectively
- Prone to being one shot on squishier builds
- Can't effectively contest dragon or baron without help

Jungle path provided above for both sides, you have to start blue buff, you don't really have a choice in the matter as you will run out of mana without it, you have two options for your first clear, you can either back immediately after finishing Golems at 6 on either side, purchasing Spirit Stone and perhaps a potion or two, or, continue for two more camps clearing 7>8 so that you have enough gold to get Spirit Stone And an Amplifying Tome which will significantly increase your clear speed and damage potential for an early gank.

Jungle as normal and look for any out of position laners you can potentially capitalize on but don't force anything, you really need to hit level 6 so you can unlock Insanity Potion (R) and further get enough gold to get Hextech Revolver into Spirit of the Spectral Wraith and potentially Boots of Speed after which you can either look to gank aggressively, while clearing your jungle or start counter jungling.

As Singed you will be effectively running over the enemies face at high speeds like a diesel powered truck and putting out just as much smog and as result of this you need to be pretty good at either dodging skill shots or having so much sustain/stats that them hitting you won't matter, e.g. unstoppable force vs VERY movable objects.

Fortunately to that end- Riot decided it was a great idea to give us Insanity Potion (R) which will pump effectively all of your stats for a period of 25 seconds allowing you to stat stick yourself to do things other champions couldn't dream of.

As such, the general game plan is as follows: If they don't see you, just go in, use Mega Adhesive (W) in front of their path of escape and Fling (E) the squishiest target in the direction of your allies and continually run in front of the person you just flipped, weaving in auto attacks as you go, using the aforementioned Insanity Potion (R) right before starting combat to get full use of it, unless the unfortunate soul you've set your sights on will faint at the moment your bad air enters the vicinity already, in which case you can save it.

If they do see you however, the gameplan is much the same except now is the the time to hit the big red booster on your shifter in the form of Ghost
Be mindful of when you use your Ghost however, as not only is it an incredible engagement ability, it can help in longer engagements as well as being a great tool when the local environmental agency gets a bit too tired of you polluting the air supply.

At this point in the game you will have unlocked enough vamp (Either 29% or 49% with Will of the Ancients ) that you can start getting away with things you otherwise wouldn't, going in 1v2 vs the enemy bot lane if you can have your bot laners follow up usually results in a kill or two, and you start raking in money like no tomorrow, despite not playing Nunu & Willump snowballing is the name of the game here and your goal is to amass enough money on either yourself or one of your carries to start rolling the enemy team into putty, if you are on a camp or happen to have your poison trail effecting a wave of minions, it will take at least two people to kill you, assuming they don't one shot you or CC you to death.

General singed counters apply here as well, except you need to be mindful of point and click CC, if the enemy team has too much of it they can shut you down completely and as such Singed probably isn't great to pick into teams wherein 3 or 4 enemies have hard CC unless you're already extremely comfortable on him.

Other than that though, most of Singeds conventional counters from modern simply do not exist in Classic and the vamp build mitigates most of its woes anyway so you can kinda pick this into anything, none of the other junglers can really kill you if you have items so it's very safe.
