It is recommended that you practice each roam hero at least once, so that you know enemy skill types, cooldowns, and learn matchups and recommended skill builds for different heroes. A Roamer will determine the initiations and pick offs that can change the tables in a match.

Categories[]
Roamers are "unofficially" divided into 4 different categories.
- Setter Roamers: Are roamers who have great combination of AOE and Crowd Control to initiate set up for the team. Tanks are part of this category.
- Initiator Roamers: Are roamers who professionally engage to start up team fights by targeting a single or double enemies, however they lack a combination of strong crowd control and AOE. Fighters and some Tanks are part of this category.
- Utility/Healing Roamers: Are roamers who use their abilities to protect their allies from debuffs. Supports are part of this category.
- Damage Roamers: Are roamers who specialize high damage to distract the enemy and target their backlines but are squishy and must require a frontline Jungler or EXP Laner to protect them. Assassins are part of this category.
