Roamer
The tank or support who has no farm lane and instead roams the map.
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. They buy a cheap roaming item early for gold-over-time instead of relying on lane farm, then convert that gold into a Blessing and boots. 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.
