Malzahar vs Singed

Updated Jun 4, 2026

Overview

This is a control matchup where Malzahar must maintain lane pressure to deny Singed a passive scaling lane.
Malzahar should leverage wave control and suppression picks to keep Singed reactive rather than proactive.

Trading pattern

Push with (E) and Voidlings, then threaten trades by stepping forward with (Q) silence or level 6 (R) suppression.
Punish Singed when his (R) is down by increasing wave pressure and forcing him into awkward fights.
Avoid chasing through his (Q) poison and respect his (W) slow to prevent getting flung by (E).

Danger windows

Be cautious when (R) is active, as he gains speed and durability to survive deeper engagements.
Avoid chasing Singed through his (Q) and (W) slow, which set up his (E) for dangerous displacement.
Watch for moments when your ultimate channel can be interrupted by enemy crowd control or jungle ganks.

Early game

Use (E) and Voidlings to push early waves and prevent Singed from safely proxying or disrupting wave control.
Avoid extended trades early since Singed can punish if you lose Voidlings to his area damage.
Track Singed's positioning carefully to avoid being flung or slowed into bad trades.

Power spikes

At level 6, (R) unlocks a point-and-click lockdown; use it for verified picks or defensive resets.
After first mana/AP item, increase pressure on waves and trades as your damage and push reliability improve.
Respect Singed's level 6 (R) for his increased speed and durability; avoid extended fights when it is up.

Win conditions

Maintain constant wave pressure with (E) and Voidlings to deny Singed proxy and force him into reactive play.
Use level 6 (R) suppression to pick Singed or force him to retreat, enabling map presence and objective control.
Exploit windows when (R) is down to increase lane dominance and set up roams or teamfight advantages.
