Empowered Bulwark

Increases Singed's Health by 25 for every 100 Mana he has.

Current League

Noxious Slipstream

Singed drafts off nearby champions, gaining a burst of Move Speed when passing them.

Coming from current LeagueMega Adhesive does not ground, so the modern proxy-Singed pattern of puddle-to-deny-escape plus fling-into-root does not exist; Fling is just a flat displacement.
Remembering Singed in 2013Fling's V3.04 nerf (80-260 at +75% AP, down from 100-300 at +100% AP) is already in effect, so the burst from early Season 3 is weaker than remembered.
