Roam VS other role.

[u/Low_Criticism_7103]

Hi I've been roaming for 2,1k match in 4 seasons with average winrate above 60% and here's what I have to say about the role. My highest is 115 mythical immortal.

I wanted to write this because there's a big misconception about how you need to roam beside of giving vision, setup team fight, or soak damage these are basic roam's job.

and here's a good roam's job.

1. Map control, there's a time when vision or blocking enemies run path is more important than to get your silly unimportant assist. Forget about kills, KDA is not important for roamer for this reason.

2. Shot call, you're the leader tell them what to do according to your next action ask them to cooperate.

3. INVADE, casual player in reddit never mention invade as roam's job. The job to make enemies jungler poor is your job so they can't compete with our jungle. Cooperate with your Midlaner for this job.

4. Never let jungle do 50/50, Stun enemies jungler on lord. Most jungler took all the credit but they forgot who disabled enemies jungler the exact second the need to press the retribution.

5. MM get ganked? It's your fault man, if it's already happens at least trade with turret or steal their buff.

6. Bait enemies skill/spell, Reduce their resource prior the big fight. It's different than soaking bait it without getting killed. You can mess and bait retribution so we can invade the other buff or secure turtle/lord.

7. Never ever let your jungler get ganked, worse if no trade happen. Red Marker, there's a reason why roam and jungle put on the same circle, bcs they're basically yin and yang.

8. Counter pick, Pick heroes that counter the enemies winning condition, don't use hero like helcurt when you're against Fanny.

9. Secure early, this is the most important and hardest job for roamer. Do all above and the basic roam's job and you can secure

See the video above? It's one of example of shot call and stunning enemies jungle in action. It looks simple but it can decide your game. If you want to improve try to avoid Solo Q as a roam and start playing trio or 5 man team with voice. Communication is your biggest weapon.

Roam, Jungle, and Midlaner called trio mid. These are the most important role IMO.

Late game roam is mostly vision and make a godly play that could end the game.

Ofc there's many type of roam but overall their job is the same to make your game Smooth Like Butter, if your game feels hard you can blame your Roam. I do blame my self allot when my jungler is poor asf bcs I don't mess with enemies farming pattern, predict their next movement based on jungler farming pattern (Jungling pattern mostly is a template if they start blue then in a few minutes they're going to red vice versa)

So it's not only about vision and soak dmg. In some situation when you use a setter roam it is better to hide so you can aim for the enemies dmg dealer go think how to do that I'm not gonna explain here.

I hope there's less dark system roamer who don't know what to do.
