Vyper can farm in enemy's base early game, taking all the waves

I found this clip of proxy viper being incredibly viable, especially when paired with an Ivy.

By shooting the top of the archmother when waves spawn, they all drop on you instead of going to their lanes.

This is definitely not intended.

This can be fixed by creeps being "protected" on lanes until a respective tower minus one.
So at game start you can shoot down creeps on lane if they pass walker.
If first towers are down, you can shoot down creeps on lane if they pass the outer 2 base towers, etc.

Shooting down creeps behind enemy lines can be fun and impactful, especially when you siege objectives, but just getting all 3 waves at start of the game feels dumb.

I just posted this video a few days ago! Good post!

You can proxy behind the latest tower, but not further beyond that - nice suggestion!

Proxying should be a strat, but not this oppressive. League of Legends gets away with it because of mobility, geometry and aoe restrictions.

And theres no "town scroll" to tp around to punish Axe players.
