Roaming

Roaming is a style of gameplay in which your champion spends the "laning phase" of the game roaming from lane rather than spending it laning or jungling.

Roamers are generally champion with high base stats, champions that don't require much farming to be effective, set up ganks well and/or gank well themselves.

Benefits of Roaming

 * 1) Less champions in a lane gives your team the experience advantage
 * 2) Setting up ganks can grant your team early kills (most people don't expect a gank in the first or second wave of minions)
 * 3) Roamers can often find and screw up or kill the enemy's jungler
 * 4) Roamers help give your team map awareness from the beginning of the game.

Items for Roamers
Due to spending most of their time outside of a lane and, therefore, away from gold, experience and enemies, Roamers make good use out of items which provide benefits when out of combat such as:


 * 1) regeneration (to recover between encounters)


 * 1) gold generation (to make up for their lack of gold and experience from minions)


 * 1) high movement (to decrease time outside of lanes and to help facilitate ganks.)
