well im no signed expert or proxy expert but i can use common sense, do it when you know the jungler is on the other side of map, do it when top is near his tower, do it if mid lane nor top lane has hard cc, do it if you see the others in bot lane, just last game i had this try hard signed trying to proxy farm and kept getting caught by urgot ult (yes urgot was top) then shit on by kayle (kayle was jungle). i just think proxy farming is nothing more then show boating
If this is honestly your thinking, there's part of the reason why you're Silver 5 0LP. Proxy farming is an insanely useful tool in the game that can give you a slight advantage, which later turns into a massive advantage by the mid to late-game transition.
Why?
-> Free CS
-> Free tower damage
-> Constant wave clear and pushing power
-> Constant map pressure
-> Forces enemy to either:
-> chase you into jungle, losing CS and taking damage from your poison trail
-> fight you, which chances are you'll win due to kitability of most tops
-> take the time to influence elsewhere, giving you a free lane
If you honestly think proxy farming is showboating, you belong in bronze. Simple as that.
