yo guys, i was just wondering... who started proxying in league of legends? like, i know it's a thing now, but who was the first person to think "imma just farm behind the enemy turret and mess with their wave"?

was it some random solo queue player or a pro? i feel like it had to be someone who was just super tilted and decided to troll but then realized it actually worked lol.

also, how did it even become a legit strat? like, did people just see someone doing it and were like "yo that's kinda smart" or what?

anyone got the tea on who started proxying in league of legends? i’m lowkey curious now.
yo, so i was digging into this a while back and i think it was actually a pro player who started proxying in league of legends. like, i remember hearing it was someone like SingSing or maybe even Dyrus? idk for sure, but it def started in the pro scene before it trickled down to solo queue.

it became a legit strat because it messed with the enemy laner's farm and gave the proxy player more control over the wave. like, it wasn't just trolling—it was actually smart. if u wanna learn more, check out some old vods on youtube or maybe even the league wiki.
bro, i think it was SingSing who popularized proxying in league of legends. he was known for doing weird stuff in top lane, and it just kinda caught on. like, he'd be farming behind the turret, and people were like "wtf is this guy doing?" but then they realized it was lowkey genius.

it became a legit strat because it forced the enemy jungler to deal with it, which created pressure elsewhere on the map. if u wanna see it in action, search for some of his old games. dude was a legend.
honestly, i don’t think there’s one specific person who started proxying in league of legends. it was probably something that evolved over time as players experimented with wave management. like, someone probably tried it in solo queue, it worked, and then pros picked it up and refined it.

it became a legit strat because it’s super effective against certain matchups, especially in top lane. if u wanna learn more, i’d recommend watching some wave management guides on youtube. it’s a game-changer.
iirc, it was Dyrus who really brought proxying in league of legends into the spotlight. he was doing it back in like season 2 or 3, and it was wild to watch. like, he’d just be farming behind the enemy turret, and the other team had no idea how to deal with it.

it became a legit strat because it created so much pressure and forced the enemy team to respond. if u wanna see how it’s done, check out some of his old vods. dude was ahead of his time.
yo, thanks for all the replies, guys! i didn’t realize how much history there was behind proxying in league of legends. i’m def gonna check out some of those old vods and guides u mentioned.

also, i tried it in a game last night with Singed, and it was so much fun. the enemy top laner had no idea what to do, and it gave my team so much pressure. thanks for the tips!
tbh, i think proxying in league of legends started as a solo queue thing before pros picked it up. like, some random player probably got tilted and decided to farm behind the turret, and it just worked. then pros saw it and were like "yo, this is actually broken."

it became a legit strat because it’s so hard to punish if done correctly. if u wanna try it, i’d recommend playing someone like Singed or Tryndamere. they’re perfect for proxying.
i’m pretty sure it was Singed players who really made proxying in league of legends a thing. like, the champ’s kit is perfect for it, and it just made sense to farm behind the turret and mess with the wave.

it became a legit strat because it’s so annoying to deal with, especially if the Singed player knows what they’re doing. if u wanna learn more, check out some Singed mains on youtube. they’ve got some great guides.
i think proxying in league of legends started as a way to counter certain matchups in top lane. like, if u were playing against someone who could zone u off the wave, proxying was a way to still get farm without having to fight.

it became a legit strat because it gave u more control over the wave and created pressure on the map. if u wanna learn more, i’d recommend watching some wave management tutorials. it’s a skill that’s super useful in solo queue.
yo, i remember watching some old vods of Dyrus proxying in league of legends, and it was insane. like, he’d just be farming behind the turret, and the other team had no idea what to do.

it became a legit strat because it created so much pressure and forced the enemy team to respond. if u wanna see it in action, check out some of his old games. dude was a beast.
