Yasuo vs Singed Counter Pick

Singed’s damage is magic, which works against a physical duelist’s plan from the start. Yasuo’s armor goes from 32 to 110.2, yet none of it helps against Poison Trail, and his magic resistance begins at 32 with nothing from his own kit to raise it. Across 407 games on patch 16.13.1, the matchup record sits at 42.26%.

Mega Adhesive creates the second problem. Enemies who step onto it are slowed and grounded, and a grounded target loses access to movement abilities, so a Yasuo who has already dashed in loses Sweeping Blade. Fling then sends him behind Singed, and if he lands inside the adhesive, he is rooted on arrival. The whole sequence uses two abilities and no projectile, which leaves Wind Wall with no role in the trade.

Both champions move at 345, but Noxious Slipstream gives Singed a speed burst whenever he passes a nearby champion, letting him decide when a chase ends. He is weaker over the long game, with 2,282 health at level 18 compared with Yasuo’s 2,460. Yasuo starts with 650 base health to Singed’s 590, though, and that edge carries him through the early fights. Insanity Potion further boosts Singed’s combat stats and makes Poison Trail apply Grievous Wounds, which reduces the healing Yasuo would otherwise gain. With difficulty ratings of 10 and 5, the harder execution falls on Yasuo’s side of the record.
