yung griphook

    Have some questions when playing a roaming style during the early game.. with heroes like mirana or maybe rubick.

    1) when is this a viable thing to do

    2) any tips?

    Seems like a fun way to play, but doesn't seem effective in my skill bracket. I get the impression that it's kind of a feast or famine play-style. Where if you get kills and make space you help your team, but if you don't get kills then you lose a lot of exp and have little gold gain.

    always interested to hear from people better than me

    thanks

      if get kills then good, if not u losing

      matrice

        mirana, from lvl 1, the 5 sec arrow can give akill even to sf.

        Never with rubbik, too low damage, and not good enough disable + need a lot of level.

        You can however go with gyro/jugg pretty easily, thx to their damage.
        Or with good lvl 1 sup, such as venge, or es.
        Heroes such as sky would require lvl 2, or lvl 3 before roaming

                Also the nerfs to illusions really hurt TB

                  If you are level 1 roaming with Mirana, make sure you have a good mid player, then camp that mid lane for the whole game (Imkiddingbutforrealthatisthestrat)

                      max arrow first if roaming?

                      Dune, the Desert Planet

                        Depends how game goes, but at least 2 points in Arrow because damage scales so good from level 1 to level 2, from 50 to 140.

                          it what situations would you max arrow first v maxing star storm? is maxing star storm the way to go in most cases?

                          @mastadoom Can't watch games because I don't have a ticket

                            max arrow if support, because your mana pool is bad without items, so you will not have enough for starstorm, starstorm is more for carries as a flash farm move. I would say at level 4 you want a 0-2-2-0 build.

                              I haven't played much mirana support, but i think maxing star storm is worth it. It's your nuke and it helps you in securing items. (Although I would also get the 2 points in arrow because the damage scale is so good and your mana pool in the early game is pretty bad)

                              Soul ring works really well with a mirana support. It basically guarantees that you won't run out of mana.

                              Just a warning, it's a very hit or miss roaming support (get it, ok, i'll stop now). You're basically useless if you can't predict where the enemy will go. It's much safer to roam as lion/es/venge/veno etc. Basically people with long range slows or disables

                                Id advice against what masta said , maxing arrow is bad imo, the reason is if u miss an arrow ur a ranged creep, as a roaming support u wont be gaining much levela so that will take u a while to get the starfall ,
                                i play alot of mirana roaming , go 4 1 1 1 at 7 , 3 1 1 1 at 6, make arrow as ur roaming tool , but if u missed u still help with ur starfall , get a bottle and secure the runes for mana , If u got few kills get midas it will help u alot with levels to gold , get utility items , force staff scythe veil of discord , dont go yasha manta diffusel, ur a support u wont be farming ... starfall helps u with farming when the lane is empty , helps u farm woods while moving around , and with bottle ur mana issues arent high honestly .

                                Sry for bad english its my second language no flamerino :)

                                  When roaming, try not to waste too much time because you don't want to fall too far behind in level, jump in and out of lanes and carry a tp. TPing helps you avoid many common ward spots, so they wont know you are coming. Id say carry a bottle, wand and boots. Hope you have a competent team with good spells for hero killing.
