Why Roaming Matters

Roaming allows you to spread your influence across the map, helping other lanes and controlling objectives. A well-timed roam can snowball the entire game.

When to Roam

Look for these opportunities:

  • Your ADC just backed and wave is pushing toward them
  • Your ADC has a safe champion that can farm under tower
  • Mid lane or jungle needs help with a skirmish
  • You've established lane dominance and can leave safely

When NOT to Roam

  • Wave is crashing into your tower
  • Your ADC will die 1v2
  • You don't know where enemies are
  • Dragon is spawning soon

Champions That Roam Well

  • Bard - Built for roaming with chimes and portal
  • Pyke - High mobility and kill threat
  • Thresh - Lantern enables jungle ganks
  • Alistar - Strong engage for ganks

Communication

Always ping when you leave lane. Your ADC needs to know they should play safe. A successful roam is worthless if your ADC dies for it.
