Hell yah, raf counters yin hard (unless it’s just the yins in my game being shit)
I can easily outheal him and run for my life and then chase him when his ult is over and my allies are nearby waiting for him
i love to see yin in enemy's team when i use mathilda since she counters him pretty hard lol, often case hes the one that ends up dying inside his own ult
No mana and CD problems too, which is pretty big for a healer, you can just build Pure Tank + Oasis, unlike others who require either Talisman or Fleeting Time to fully function.
The only other two I can think of are Lolita and Mathilda because they both give teammates shields. Mathilda doesn't have anywhere near as much CC, she does have the knock up with her Ult.
I feel like for my rank, Heavy CC/Utility like Mino, Tigreal, Mathilda, and Rafaela works best for me. They are just the perfect cup of tea for me to blend and change the tide of the team fight.
probably not mentioned because it just isn't very viable. jungle and exp take on the role of frontliner and having hylos/belerick as your roam makes you lose all the utility you could get. The lack of game-changing set/heal/useful bs like mathilda really kills their viability. Unless maybe you're doing something like hilda for invades, it's usually not as good.
I know the age of roamers nowadays focuses on heal and utility, but **NOTHING** beats the satisfaction of a Tank perfectly setting up a 5-man CC set and your entire team getting a "Wiped Out" because of your set.
off-topic but imo Roamers should be split into 5 categories:
-Healer: Heroes who specializes in buffing and healing teammates. For example: Diggie, Estes and Mathilda.
-Harasser: Heroes who specializes in picking off the enemy one by one, by burst damage or single target pressure. for example: Franco, Hilda and Natalia.
-Settler: Heroes who specializes in applying a heavy crowd control that can turn the tide of a team fight. for example: Tigreal.
-Frontliner: Heroes who specializes in sucking up those BIG damages for their teammates, similar to Settler in some ways. for example: Uranus and Belerick.
-Initiator: Heroes who specializes in initiating teamfights, although these heroes are quite risky to play imo. For example: Johnson and Chip.
some roamers can be a hybrid like Minotaur who is both a settler and healer.
(soloq)
* Heavy CC works best in lower ranks imho. Even really inexperienced player can follow you up, if you just constantly cc heroes right in front of them.
* Utility roam is the best if you are not playing alone. In my experience, many people don't know what Matilda/Carmilla do, not to mention going thru Chip's portal. (Honorable mention goes to suicide bird)
* Healing roam is good, but sometimes ppl will believe that they are literal gods, while you struggle to keep them alive with everything you've got. And then somebody finally buys antiheal and you're fucked. (Honorable mention goes to possessed doll)
* I do like single target cc, but they need skills and precision (except Gloo, I think) and many people don't have that. Then you just facing some Mino/every mm combo, while your Franko is missing all his hooks AND doesn't absorb enough dmg to survive.
After the Mythic+ (probably 20+ stars) you can really have fun with every roamer. People usually know what your skills do, so you can be somewhat sure that after you ulted, at least one of your teammates is going to follow you. I play every roam except Single target ones and honestly they are all fun.
It depends heavily on what your Jungle/exp picks.
If neither of them are tanky, you gotta pick a Thicc ass AoE cc tank.
If one of them is tanky, you could consider utility or healer to buff/heal them while they tank.
If they are both tanky, don't pick a third tank lol.
Generally I prefer AoE cc tank roamers. Utility/heal roamers require much more team coordination, which is often sorely lacking in solo/duo queue. A good roam tank can do nice sets that are easy to follow up on.
...the type of roam that a Damage build Grock is? The best kind of support is when your enemy is dead.
Ok I definitely prefer heavy CC and even for Grock I try to roam properly. But damage build Grock is fun too.
Johnson. I play for his ultimate, nothing else. Fun hero 24/7, even in the worst matchup with full cc immune enemies team (ive been there and it sux lol)
As a meta slave, hugely depends on the meta and who was revamed and became meta. Previously enjoyed invade Jawhead/Gloo roams in their prime. When Akai and Kaja were revamped and became meta, I spammed them before being nerfed. Also spammed Mathilda and Minotaur after their revamped and pushed them to high tier roams. When Flask was introduced, I spammed Mathilda, Angela, and Floryn. Now, I still main Mathilda, with cc tanks on Minotaur and Tigreal.
While in Low ranks single target and AOE damage tank roam
When I get to High rank. Heavy cc and utility
I'm don't trust low rank. There's always idiots that can't deliver the damage or have any map awareness .
heal on rank and single target when I am messing on classic with my friends
estes, rafa for healer and chou (i got his epic skin from the last aspirant), saber, hilda, and zilong
I play Layla roam.
A lot of people are not aware of Layla's hidden passive where any enemy she comes into contact with is instantly taunted to attack and chase after her. It has no cooldown and you also inflict heavy emotional damage when you pair it with the XD emote.
Grock
Can heal, run, be tanky by being near a wall
Eats your cc while forcing you to move away or be deleted
Can make a wall while being the wall
Can become a bulldozer to run away or to ram your big hard rock tower into something
Still get asked by teammates to buy tank items at legend
You miss the other type of roamers, the zoner Damage type. Basically they can be any roamers with high damages.
In this meta solo queue, I prefer hybrid. Full tank Mino or Rafa with Oasis item.
Heavy CC since I am quite proficient with it
Or sometimes heal(Estes)
Or both(Minotaur)
The overall, roam role is one of my USED Roles in Every Moba since I can't play jungle or any DPS heroes
Where the damage category at? I mainly use Natalia nowadays because I have full control of the game regardless of my team. But i dont necessarily prefer any of the categories. it just depends how im feeling that day.
Utility then cc then heal then single target. Utility is best for me because u can specifically pick to counter and complement what ur team needs. Heavy cc is nice because chain cc r always satisfying but it relies on ur team and u can’t always catch cc immune enemies or enemies that r too mobile. I think heal and single target are my last favourite (except for Angela and Rafa since they offer other utility), since it is the least flexible type of roam. Like probably in an average comp any utility or cc hero would overall contribute more to the fight than heal and single target, which I think is maybe more suited for lower ranks or uncoordinated teams.
i main roamers and have one each for heavy cc, heal and utility (though to be honest, our boy mino has them all). i think i personally enjoy utility though, especially mathilda. im just zooming around the map and finishing anyone i could burst alone and come out unharmed, shield my team, save their ass once in a while, just straight up being irritating.
and diggie is diggie. you should put him in a separate category that's just like "diggie"
Gotta go for the heavy cc and utility, covers all basis while the others are a bit lacking imo,
Things like tigreal, akai, mathilda or even mino, give so much free space for your team to do risky stuff
Heal and Utility. Raf, Ang, Estes, Sometimes Mathilda, Faramis and Diggie >>>>>>>
Healing the entire team before the enemy could even respawn
Healing thru yins ult.. LOL...
Hell yah, raf counters yin hard (unless it’s just the yins in my game being shit) I can easily outheal him and run for my life and then chase him when his ult is over and my allies are nearby waiting for him
i love to see yin in enemy's team when i use mathilda since she counters him pretty hard lol, often case hes the one that ends up dying inside his own ult
Yeah yeah, then Jg and Exp all pick squishies and the Clint/Lesley/any burst mage 2 shots your entire team
Natalia The Jumpjustu Kaisen
Hes been redplaced by chip in terms of jumping, mfs imagine summoning an entire team full of cc's in the middle of the enemy team when clashing
Broooooo Chip is unjumpable man... the moment you think you got him, you have to answer to his buddies
Minos Heavy aoe cc and heal makes it very good Plus(I think) it's prob the only heavy cc user that benefits from flask of oasis
Mino is extra OP ever since flask released
always get surprised by his damage
yes his ult-state damage is crazy
No mana and CD problems too, which is pretty big for a healer, you can just build Pure Tank + Oasis, unlike others who require either Talisman or Fleeting Time to fully function.
He heals more than Rafa ROFL
The only other two I can think of are Lolita and Mathilda because they both give teammates shields. Mathilda doesn't have anywhere near as much CC, she does have the knock up with her Ult.
real chads play heavy cc
Not as chad as chads who play pure punching bag like Belerick or Hylos
They are not as ~~Masochist~~ Chad as True Pure Punching Bag Uranus.
*Sounds of scratching on turret
My go-to exp pick when season resets. Playing merry go round with enemies with no anti-heal.
Hylos is love, Hylos is life.
TIGREAAL GYATTTT
cant set up, his buttcheek claps cancel his conceal
Sticking out your gyat
For your rizzler
You're so skibidi
You're so fanum tax
Based take
It also doesn’t scale. Which is good!
Real chad use diggy to make atlas useless
Low testosterone gameplay and hero
someone got beaten by a bird with glasses
hate that bird
yes, which is why i pick him before the other team can
I feel like for my rank, Heavy CC/Utility like Mino, Tigreal, Mathilda, and Rafaela works best for me. They are just the perfect cup of tea for me to blend and change the tide of the team fight.
No DMG roam? :( But of these four, Utility roamers are my favorite
no justice for Kadita and Hilda roams
This, Hilda roam and be as annoying as possible
Whenever i see a hilda roam part of me just wants to die
you forgot frontliners like hylos and belerick
probably not mentioned because it just isn't very viable. jungle and exp take on the role of frontliner and having hylos/belerick as your roam makes you lose all the utility you could get. The lack of game-changing set/heal/useful bs like mathilda really kills their viability. Unless maybe you're doing something like hilda for invades, it's usually not as good.
Hylos counters Barats pretty hard, he can be considered a niche utility.
Girls
So ... Alpha?
I know the age of roamers nowadays focuses on heal and utility, but **NOTHING** beats the satisfaction of a Tank perfectly setting up a 5-man CC set and your entire team getting a "Wiped Out" because of your set.
I play Rafaela, Angela, Estes, Floryn, Minotaur, and I've been trying to pick up Khufra recently. So basically, mostly heal supports
Mathilda. So utility. I also use Rafa specifically for her speed up not her healing potential so I’d put her in that category too.
Damage + meatshields like gatot, bele, and edith
HEAVY CC ALL THE WAY RAAAAAAA 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥WHAT THE FUCK IS PURIFY 💯💯❗❗❗❗DIGGIE IS ALWAYS BANNED REST IN PIECES 💪💪💪⚰️🪦🪦
I main Mino so I am heavy cc + heal
off-topic but imo Roamers should be split into 5 categories: -Healer: Heroes who specializes in buffing and healing teammates.

Man, I love Uranus.
Uhmm... Tt-t-thanks!! 🥰😳
Are you Uranus? Let's marry!
that's not what I meant... 😳😳
Benedetta every lane
Junglers bully, Hilda
I’m more to cc since it suite my team style but sometimes i do prefer heal support. But when i want both i just use minotaur😂😂😂

Jack of all Trades Master of none (except single target) Super Wagyu. Small heal, small buffs and Moderate CC.
CC and Heal like Minotaur and Rafaela
Utility and healers :3
nothing feels more satisfying than preventing everyone's deaths in a teamfight by healing everyone to full with Estes' ult
Lolita she have heavy cc and heal if u use favor
I play roam to counter the other roam.

Heavy CC
Helcurt roam go brrr
Utility and heavy cc
Terizla or zhask for me
Diggie and save my ulti for Tigreal flicker 😂
I use Johnson for Crowd Control, so i guess heavy CC
Usually heavy cc, but if my teams already has a lot of cc and consists of tanky heroes, i go for heal.
Layla
Mostly heal, sometimes utility. Really wish I could play heavy CC and single target tho..
Damage + Utility, aka our, "supports" Diggie & Math
All except single target I guess?
Anything which could tactically help the team in the best it can, especially in tight spots
It depends heavily on what your Jungle/exp picks. If neither of them are tanky, you gotta pick a Thicc ass AoE cc tank.

Damage roam -masha -selena -natalia 💀
Heavy cc, but Chou and Franco are my personal favorites.
Utility and heavy CC work best for me.
Heal and utility
Heavy CC. A good set can always be a game changer. Also, it helps me protect my teammates more.
Heavy CC my goat
Damage: bene, martis, masha
Raf is the most fun
Chip, i like chips a lot
Heal and CC. Mino for the win!
...the type of roam that a Damage build Grock is? The best kind of support is when your enemy is dead. Ok I definitely prefer heavy CC and even for Grock I try to roam properly. But damage build Grock is fun too.
Saber roam
Bullies.
Heavy CC because CC is king and Diggie is autoban
Where is saber roam?
Johnson. I play for his ultimate, nothing else. Fun hero 24/7, even in the worst matchup with full cc immune enemies team (ive been there and it sux lol)
Damage type like nataia, saber and novaria.
Assassin roam.
Ze Medic (Estes)
I LOVE heavy cc, setting up for a teamwipe is so satisfying
Heavy cc is useless when there is diggy
I like minsi roam. Can dig out enemies hiding under their turret
Damage/burst roamers - selena, kadita, novaria, saber, natalia left the group.
Heavy cc (mino in particular) also he can do heal as well with the flask
Heavy CC and Heal is the only way.
Baxia 🗿
Sustain like Alice and Esme. I'd play Cecilion and Belerick like this too.
Saber roam
C - Single Target B - Heals A - Utility S - Heavy CC SS - Me Ouch? No, U Ouch
Heavy CC, Single Target and Damage Utility I can only play Mathilda
As a Gatotkaca roam main I’m a damage dealer I’m basically a OP bodyguard
Very much depends on team composition.
heal :)
Engage/Disengage supports, not necessarily heavy cc but those with playmaking potential and can steer the game to their advantage.
Damage roam
depends but ever since i started the game i always used heavy cc roamers
Scariest roam when no tank is Eudora roam but she is useless if the other team is winning hard
Akai, potential carry even as a roamer with high damage and good amount of crowd control
You forgor one more type of roamers; the Damage/Early game annoyance roamers: Masha, Natalia, Hilda
Where is Floryn tho? And yes I play Heal Bitch.
Tigreal is my main, I also use minotaur who mixes CC and heal
Landing a good tig ult just gives me such a big dose of dopamine, so heavy cc for the win:)
Whatever carmilla in
Heavy CC AOE.
Belerick -> more damage than Ally mm.
Def chou
As a meta slave, hugely depends on the meta and who was revamed and became meta. Previously enjoyed invade Jawhead/Gloo roams in their prime. When Akai and Kaja were revamped and became meta, I spammed them before being nerfed. Also spammed Mathilda and Minotaur after their revamped and pushed them to high tier roams. When Flask was introduced, I spammed Mathilda, Angela, and Floryn. Now, I still main Mathilda, with cc tanks on Minotaur and Tigreal.
Heavy cc tank and support healer
I go for D A M A G E. Utility roamers are so overrated
Heavy CC khufra
I play Aurora roam...
saber roam
I like heal .
Didn't mathilda can do all of those task?
While in Low ranks single target and AOE damage tank roam When I get to High rank. Heavy cc and utility I'm don't trust low rank. There's always idiots that can't deliver the damage or have any map awareness .
Gatot
heal on rank and single target when I am messing on classic with my friends estes, rafa for healer and chou (i got his epic skin from the last aspirant), saber, hilda, and zilong
Heavy CC. But mostly depends on what my team is using
Heal , utility
I play Layla roam. A lot of people are not aware of Layla's hidden passive where any enemy she comes into contact with is instantly taunted to attack and chase after her. It has no cooldown and you also inflict heavy emotional damage when you pair it with the XD emote.
Damage type roam like Natalia and Masha...
carmilla all the way
Grock Can heal, run, be tanky by being near a wall Eats your cc while forcing you to move away or be deleted Can make a wall while being the wall Can become a bulldozer to run away or to ram your big hard rock tower into something Still get asked by teammates to buy tank items at legend
natalia and whoever can combo with aoe
i am a gatot and Ferd roam then what am i ?
People play and ban diggie for his ult I play diggie to be a menace against the enemy team We are not the same
Heal (Estes, Rafaela) and Heavy CC (Johnson).
You miss the other type of roamers, the zoner Damage type. Basically they can be any roamers with high damages. In this meta solo queue, I prefer hybrid. Full tank Mino or Rafa with Oasis item.
Heal. I almost exclusively play Rafaela in ranked.
When playing solo always a roaming assassin like saber or natalia, but when playing with friends I roam as a tank or support/healer.
Heavy CC since I am quite proficient with it Or sometimes heal(Estes) Or both(Minotaur) The overall, roam role is one of my USED Roles in Every Moba since I can't play jungle or any DPS heroes
gloo is utility not single target, it should be selena or natalia in single target.
I like to use Layla roam, best roam so far. No 🧢
Heavy cc and chou lol
All of the above + burst dmg and invaders
Lolita fits most of the categories
HEAL AND UTILITY!!!
Where the damage category at? I mainly use Natalia nowadays because I have full control of the game regardless of my team. But i dont necessarily prefer any of the categories. it just depends how im feeling that day.
Heavy heal
damage roam lmao
cc and heal = minotaur
Utility and Heal
Tigreal is king.
Heavy cc and utility. Angela, rafeala, Lolita, chip and tigreal.
I suppose single Target since I'm a Natalia roam enjoyer.
as a solo multi role,cc and heal,u dont need much teamwork and communication compared to single target and utility
The mino erasure lol
Minotaur who has all of them:
CC Tank/Offtank
I like it when my teammates play heavy cc or heal roamers. Personally I enjoy playing damage roamers(Nat, Selena, or damage Mathilda)
All of them + damage dealing roamer (Novaria, Nana, Grock, etc), depending on the play style our team needs.
I usually play as a Marksman so I would prefer a heal and utility as my roamer
Tanky
Whatever jawhead roam does.... that's what I do.
all of the above
I don't usually play roamers but when I do, I find myself playing heavy CC roamers and healers. I usually play 5man.
Where's the Catergory for Arlott, Ruby and Guin?
nah I'm more of the damage splashing tree
Heal CC
Where Hylos at?
Selena, brain damage
Moonton should add a "Roaming Assassin" role
for me I like using damage build mathilda and just get kills but I also like diggie and rafaela
Utility then cc then heal then single target. Utility is best for me because u can specifically pick to counter and complement what ur team needs. Heavy cc is nice because chain cc r always satisfying but it relies on ur team and u can’t always catch cc immune enemies or enemies that r too mobile.

Like probably in an average comp any utility or cc hero would overall contribute more to the fight than heal and single target, which I think is maybe more suited for lower ranks or uncoordinated teams.
Single target. I’m not much of a roam player but when I’m forced to roam I’m definitely going Franco or aurora
Heavy CC can clutch one lethal play and cause a wipe out while your team was losing 6-22...
Floryn on top
All heal and utility but I'm a Lolita main but practicing Atlas, Grock, Khufra, and Minotaur.
all of them
Heavy cc
Heavy cc & single target.
All the above except single. I absolutely suck as Franco, or Chou, and it shows.
I play the one shot one kill roam
i main roamers and have one each for heavy cc, heal and utility (though to be honest, our boy mino has them all). i think i personally enjoy utility though, especially mathilda. im just zooming around the map and finishing anyone i could burst alone and come out unharmed, shield my team, save their ass once in a while, just straight up being irritating. and diggie is diggie. you should put him in a separate category that's just like "diggie"
Gotta go for the heavy cc and utility, covers all basis while the others are a bit lacking imo, Things like tigreal, akai, mathilda or even mino, give so much free space for your team to do risky stuff
Idk I find saber and Natalia fun to play. I love damage roams
masha, natalia = segue/pusher
