yo, so i’ve been digging into this for a while, and from what i’ve found, the whole "who started proxying in league of legends" thing kinda traces back to a pro player named Dyrus. He was one of the first to really popularize it back in the day, especially on champs like Singed.
It wasn’t just him tho, a lot of soloq players were experimenting with it too, but Dyrus made it mainstream. Proxying changed the game cuz it forced laners to either deal with the wave or lose farm, and it gave the proxy player so much map pressure.
If you wanna learn more, check out some old vods of Dyrus playing Singed. It’s wild how ahead of the meta he was.
