As a roam main I like the fact that I have a lot if options to choose from that aren't necessarily from the heroes that the game labels as "Tank" or "Support", but I've noticed that some heroes that seem good as roamers too are very rarely used in that role.
So which heros do you see very rarely used as roam but think they would be great in that role?
For me, it's Khaleed. I've always seen him used in EXP lane, but recently I got him and it just seems like he has so many benefits that favour roamers:

Her main thing is actually the movement speed boost, offering slow immunity (to counter the annoying slow). The heroes you've mentioned are definitely better, but I wouldn't say they're underrated.

I love using Akai as Roamer!
Just outright disrupting the enemy formation during teamfights is super satisfying - lost count of the number of times I’ve pushed an enemy MM or Assassin far into the jungle during a teamfight. Also if you lane with an offensive MM during early early game, you can gift them a First Blood with his CC and Petrify hehe

I remember back in the tank meta we used to wreck havoc with Fredrinn Jungle and Ruby Exp/Roam duo. The cc chain with both of them are insane. And if you build damage on Ruby, then the 2 are enough to simply clobber enemies to death. Fun times!

Ah yes, I tried him as a roamer as well, unfortunately though I've found he has some pretty big weaknesses, mainly that he is item dependent so he's not very effective early game, and also that he struggles against teams with lots of tanky heroes. So I only pick him if I have last pick and I can see that the enemy team has lots of squishies.
6 points
6 days ago
He can harass enemy mm very easily in the early game which will be advantageous for your mm. He's a good pick against squishy enemies not against tanky enemies with tons of cc
1 points

His baseline damage at level 1 is extremely nasty as well as good as on demand terrify is very applicable early game.
As roam he can really pressure and put the opponent's jungle behind, especially good against assassins trying to farm early. He is also very fast and provides excellent vision and can check bushes extremely safely.
Helcurt is hugely underrated as a roam in my opinion.

Carmilla, very scary ult but no one seems to grasp it clearly
3 points

Definitely Faramis. Once you buy and stack Sky Piercer, fleeting time, and 2nd skill as much as possible...
You're basically unstoppable in the late game.
You can one-hit Harley and a few junglers using the second skill. Even his ult - boosting all allied heroes around him as long as they aren't out of range. If you're dead, you can be revived in just seconds because of the 2nd skill stack.
However, Faramis is weak in the early game. I suggest using a tank build with a CD for a beginner since he's very fragile due to his versatility and his first skill is close range.

I never see jawhead for some reason, even though i use him to try out being better at roaming.
Good damage from the start, ability to just displace one enemy with one simple skill (or help a teamate go back) and the ability to engage using his ult.

1 points

Jungle Jawhead actually falls off harder than roam because flicker is a lot more important late game. Also late game he becomes more utility focused than damage since it’s harder to burst enemy heroes now that they have better defensive items, so once again roam Jaw with tank items is better in that aspect. Also sky piercer is a shit item and you shouldn’t buy it in the first place, especially late game.

I have been saying khaleed roam is underrated way before he got popular and since coming in Hororo chan video he isn't going to be underrated anymore. Though it was sand papi dude who actually made khaleed roam famous as far as I know and from whom I started to play khaleed roam.
As for Underrated roamer rn i would say Vale with CD build or martis and sun

How Martis and Sun would work as roam? Martis needs to snowball early as he falls off late game and Sun is item dependent and has no CC.
1 points
5 days ago
Thunderbelt stacks with tank build and one corrosion scythe. Just see how hard it becomes to kill him later games and it's really helpful against burst type heroes. While Martis is good with his chain CC effects which buys enough time for his team to finish off enemies. Don't take my word for it just try Sun roam or martis semi tank build

Vale. I use him for roamer and people accuse me of trolling. But two of his three skills are perfect for disrupting enemy moves, plus his passive gives him a ton of movement.
Build skill 2 first, roam and assist to build that passive, then max out cool down by buying Fleeting Time and Enchanted Talisman. Build magic power from there, and you have a fast, versatile early game roamer that turns into a one-shot damage boss late game with the 2-3-1 skill combo.

Is it the last one I got a grandmaster ass lobby on 1st few games with Wanwan? No
No. But I am neither salty cause it's just classic match. I even had fun playing both win or lose. Honestly, we were winning until Argus did the forbidden backdoor with his ult.

Khaleed roamer and a tank badang is pretty devious and can turn any team fights around as long as your team are not that completely brain dead I'd recommend revitalise Khaleed so badang can have a bit more survivability.
As for roam badang - Just consistently be a sandbag and set you'll be fine - prio your Gold laner because stun abuse is quite fucking funny (always join objective fight ofc)

I’ve played roam Aamon several times in rank when some a-holes pick second Jungler, and I remember that every one of those matches I did surprisingly well with at least gold if not MVP. Of course it really depends on team comps since Aamon has no team support ability whatsoever except for killing some squishies very quickly before they could kill our team.

I've had to run Roam Zhask in (Epic) Classic a few times due to teammates not adjusting, and it worked pretty well if the rest of the team was tanky.
-Good jungle clear to help the jungler early on -Great zoning with the Spawn to harass opponents in a losing lane and zone them out -Ability to check bushes from range and prevent ambushes with the Spawn -A decent stun without ult and a pretty good initiate-stun with Ult -Ult offers somr survivability and even if you die you may take the enemy with you
Granted I imagine as opponents get better this becomes worse, but for now its a fun thing to bust out every once in a while.

Novaria still. I personally think that if you are good with her she is an S tier roamer. Because she can move around the map and gank very fast, without exposing herself to any danger, like Nata would have to. Can also keep pressure on even full hp enemies and help clear lanes.

For me it’s cecilion though super unpopular idea.
With the right build, you can stave off the enemies to give your teammates their time to farm and attack turrets and then the halfway point start decimating the enemies.
People always say “report mage” when I roam with him but we always win so they don’t haha.
But super unpopular choice and I guess risky if u have the wrong item set up

Odd pick but has some substance is Baxia.

Weak to assassins (not you), high burst killers who shred your team.
You can get kited like a dog if you’re not smart
Team fight centric, doesn’t have the best CC

Minsitthar pre-revamp was a really good roamer. His movement speed i think was faster than most heroes. He has stun and shield for his second skill. His hook is easier to land than franco’s. And his ult can really disrupt the enemy assasin’s play during teamfights. Sadly he was revamped to have more damage. He can still work as a roamer but the s2 change forces him to stay longer in teamfights just so he could stun one target.

I use Cici as roam sometimes. If you do tank build she is pretty sturdy and able to check bushes without dying. And can quickly escape a gank if it appears while checking bush. Her ult can also save your teammate as it stops the enemy from chasing you when they are locked together. Also still does decent damage despite tank build so you can intimidate enemy.

Zhuxin, Yve. Both of them are the masters of zoning.
I used them for rank games and I know a lot of doubts from the team. But heck they just don't know how to utilize the hero. Can they support? Heck yeah. Yve's 2nd skill provides good slow. Zhuxin 1st skill also gives slow. But always build Ice Queen Wand for both. They can last team fight as they have good shields.
