Roamer

The roamer is the hero — usually a tank like Tigreal or a support like Estes — who skips a dedicated farm lane entirely and instead moves around the map providing vision, engage, peel, and objective control. Because they hand lane farm to the carries, they open on the cheapest defensive starters — Healing Necklace, Vitality Crystal, Ares Belt — and upgrade boots early, accepting that their finished items arrive several minutes after everyone else's. That trade only works because a roamer's contribution does not scale off gold the way a carry's does. A good roamer's value shows up on the map, not the scoreboard — securing turtle vision, landing a hook, or shielding a diving carry rarely shows as damage or kills.
