How to convice people to let me play Proxy Singed?

What is proxy Singed ? Singed farms behind enemy tower, purposefully dies over and over (unless ignored, in which case he does the same thing without dying). Eventually he is worth no gold but still unkillable/uncatchable and still putting massive pressure on top lane. No point for jungler to come as he's worth no gold and would waste valuable time, putting jungler behind. Towers eventually fall from minion pressure. Repeat until entire enemy team has to be top to stop him, giving Singed's team the rest of the map.

So i went out and practiced "proxy Singed " and i noticed consecutive wins. I noticed at first that people weren't quite sure what i was doing and why i was dying so much, but then they started to catch on and of course, we win. So i then wanted to test it out in ranked queue so i can climb up the ladder. In ranked, i only get maybe one or if im lucky, two people that like my strategy of proxy and go with it and try to influence the others, while the others harshly bash me and tell me they hope i get cancer.(this recently just happened when we were way ahead of enemy team, but one of them tilted majorlyMissFortune ). Honestly, Proxy Singed is crazy good. i just want to know how to peacefully be able to tell people that i will do it and for them not to mind what im doing top lane. We need to bring Proxy back, its a winner strat!

http://www.lolking.net/guides/255326 i added a link to a guide for Singed . He also has a section for how to proxy with him. i personally learned from a quick video on youtube. shoutout to the Brand that tried super hard to convince them that it was the easiest way to free LP

do ppl not realize you can actually play singed without feeding

A lot of people in that elo probably don't even know what proxy singed is and will just assume you're intentional feeding, so I'd suggest that you explain what you are doing as soon as the game starts. You might even want to explain it in champ select, and then ask if people are okay with you doing it. Unfortunately, in many of your games it's probably going to impossible to convince everybody.

I might make a guide on Proxy Singed at some point, maybe get the awareness out there about it, what level do you usually start proxy farming?

Proxy singed was good in tank meta and almost every meta before this one. However in this meta games end too quickly and are too snowbally for proxy singe to come out on top with the cs game.

Just do it. That's what i do at least, long as I have pick order. Remember, you don't play solo Q to make other people happy, you do it to win :)

Proxy Singed used to work better when we could buy wards. Since we can't anymore and got trinkets(which doesn't last long in the beginning) and pinks instead, proxy SInged doesn't seem to work as well as it used to. You can however.... sneak past their tower when it's hitting your minions to start farming inbetween towers for 1-2 waves before their jungler comes for a gank. Do this if you have both ghost and ult up for a quick escape or if you know their jungler is ganking like bot lane or something.

Mid game singed offers a lot in a team fight as well so it's probably better to do both instead of just trying to split push.
