i really hope riot does nothing about proxy singed and everyone just grows a pair and learns how to play against something different than what they're used to
...But it isn't even different. It's the boring old teleport/revive crap from season 1 all over again. No matter how bad he does he succeeds at what he is doing. Why does everyone always cry about huge champ health regen? Executioners blade is cheap. But oh noz, its unbalanced because you have to specifically counter a very unfun mechanic. ... Like a player who suicides with pretty much 0 skill play but forces your team to react because its a pain in the ass. Singed can also do it from level 1 because he can escape most of the creep damage unlike a lot of champions. So its a very champion specific strategy too.
I mean, you watch this guy, doing this in diamond or higher, and people are 'countering' it properly and its still working, because it is literally a strategy that works even if they waste the time to kill you. They are even losing farm to kill you and you're making more gold then them in the process, because of how you're doing it.
Its one dimensional and boring. May as well give TF his global teleport back because oh man that was an awesome strategy too! Oh wait, it was also dumb and pretty much engendered 0 counterplay.
I think the proper way to counter it would be someone who can wave clear just as quick and influence middle. You gotta make him pay for his farm.
Edit also I think you guys aren't giving any credit to the one guy who's mainly doing this as well. He's a really good singed . I've seen him make some great plays/judgement calls

I watched that video provided, and the early game was not anticipated well. The vlad could've not taken that creep aggro and instead engaged singed early with his own creeps to keep him from being able to keep it up with his regen. Deny him experience by pushing him out and keep him from being able to farm like that.
Vlad was also a poor choice against that strategy. Against someone with better waveclear you'd be able to keep up with farm and it wouldn't be as detrimental for you. Also you'd like someone who can get a constant slow, either in the jungle or in lane like a frozen mallet, to keep him from running away and continuing his spree.
Overall, it's basically just a specialized splitpush strategy that you can't just play head to head easily
I've actually played Darius against a Singed trying this. It worked out pretty well. With a Doran's Shield and defense masteries he can facetank the minion wave and clear it pretty quickly.

No minion reduction masteries work on lane minions anymore since the introduction of season 3. All minion / damage reductions advertised in the defense tree ONLY work on jungle/neutral minions

I know that, but with 21 defense, Doran's and armour yellows I could handle the minion waves pretty well from level 3 and onwards. Though the best one for it might be amumu. Bladed armour should work on minions and in a wave Tantrum will come off cd fast.
Haven't played in a while and I'm trying to distill my champ list down to just a few champs I really like, then figure out where to play them. How do the following champ/lane assignments do, lately?

None of them are doing spectacularly well these days, with the possible exception of Trundle.
It feels like I'm in hell. ~50% more LP lost on a loss than gained on a win.
Another super tryhard game where I pick one of my three best champs, lvl2 gank bot, ruin the enemy's jungle the entire game, get every single last one of our team's towers... and can't win because our ADC is 5 lvl's behind theirs and constantly going afk.
It grows more difficult by the day to stay focused on the here and now. I can feel each, seperate poison, twisting in a burning river of fire which moves through to ignite my brain. When I can hold onto lucidity, when I can grip down onto what is real, the world moves so slowly. Sample X43-A, the "Insanity Potion" gave me ultimate clarity, made reality crawl as my brain raced. At first it was beautiful. I was beyond human, and there was nothing I couldn't do.
The after effects have been... trying, to say the least, though. At first I would find whole minutes gone from me, as though I'd slept, or more likely my mind and body seized. Lately it can be whole days, gone in a blink, no awareness of what happened while I was gone. I find myself reliant on stronger and stronger doses of X43-A to carry me through the fields of justice. I can't suffer the loss of so much time in those jungles, lest my awareness catch the best of me.
Off the fields, I pay the price. Lately I've begun to grow desperate. As the gaps in memory grew in length and I seemed to teleport between weeks, I doubted even my own genius could hold me through this. Until you.
I was having an episode, my muscles clenching, my eyes rocked back in my skull, the pain brought me to the brink of exhaust. Then, in a flash, you were there. You took me in your arms, and I was still. There was a burst of clairvoyance as your deep, red eyes locked with mine. Being so near to your perfection sent tremors through me, and I felt the ghost of something I hadn't known in a long time.
I was shaken by what I felt. Shaken, not stirred, not entirely. Even then, the garrison I'd built around my heart, a barrier I'd erected to protect myself from the pain when Warwick left was holding me back.
That first night, as we made love, I felt my passions revive. "This may hurt," I warned you.
"Ok." Such sweet perfection.
As we moved together, you showed me your powerball and I could do naught but fling away my empowered bullwark and open myself to you. "I'm on my way. It's nearly time."
"Alright." The beauty of your poetry makes me ache still.
We mixed. We mixed. We swirled and we mixed. My brain spun and then I was too far to stop. At the end of it all, the words just slipped out. "How'd that taste?"
"Hmmm. Ok."
Was that it, my sweet armordillo? No more? You opened beautiful horizons to me, but the best you could return was ok? Was your heart twisted in the same defensive ball curl mine had been locked in so long? Could you do no less than smite the budding love in my breast, that which you had just been able to heal?
You made some excuse about needing to cleanse, and you left. A poisonous fog descended on my brain then, where everything had been so clear before. I awoke alone, and lost once again.
My "episodes" still occur, but I find that if I can focus on that one singular moment, the perfection of your spiked shell, the beauty in your eyes, I can hold on to the world a bit longer. Will you seek me out again? I can do naught but wait.

Trundle is actually a gigantic beast. Irelia will always be fine, IDK about Mundo. Don't know if Leona really jungles well. I think Udyr can also run top against certain champions.

i feel like the ideal solution would be to lane swap but you can't trust anyone in solo queue to be able to 1v2 without dying a hell of a lot
seriously. get a smurf account. whenever you have a bad game. play it. it is glorious.

doesn't sound like they're countering it properly to me!

Start with a few mana potions, run teleport. First back chalice, become well farmed ap mummy and shock people with your damage.
This is what happens when people stop building Sheen on Jayce
And he attacks people.

I'll never forget the day when I was absolutely destroyed by a Jayce, who then rushed Warmog's and Wit's End.

1) CS well
2) Position in teamfights well
that's pretty much it. Bronze players don't do those things well. Picks matter little.
