Alch easily one of the strongest. Don't roam as offlane unless you have a stronger safe lane carry. Don't roam as support if your safe lane carry cannot farm while laning against their offlane. Control rune, gank mid if enemy is something like storm or sf, squishy and weak early.
See my last alch game if you want to see how early roamers can control the entire pace of the game from level 1.
can a SD roam at low level or no? i want hero that can start roaming when they hit level 2-3. so far i have try CM rhasta and lion. they work really well for early roaming
CM
Tango > Clarity x2 > Smoke > Obs > Courier
Lvl 1: W
Jungle until level 2, check rune at 2 minutes. Check in on lane while clarity is active.
(Normally I give obs to offlane~, so I try and wait for rune where it isn't warded.)
3:00 Courier upgrade
Soon after > Boots + tp.
Tp to a t2, smoke, proceed. Try to go at level 3-4, at least 1 level in slow, 1 in freeze.
Never pass a hardcamp without killing the largest creep~
Get a stick / wand when you can, keep wards on cd~ Buy smokes / dust when needed and deward.
Work into phase / Tranqs, whatever you're comfortable with.
Carry tps.
If the enemy CC spell has been used, walk close, and scream YOLO, and press R.
828 average damage lvl 1 freezing field if they stay in for the full duration, regardless 300-500 burst is enough usually.
You can almost do it with any hero though some excel and are better than others...
Key things to roaming success are:
>Does the hero you pick have a lockdown?
>Buy quick consumables and smoke (salves over tangos)
>Always carry smoke/tp
>Pick the right lane and target the right hero (don't level 1 gank an OD mid with an Invoker on your team try another lane)
List of easy solo roamers:
Crystal Maiden
Alchemist
Chen
Shadow Demon
Lich
Lion
Venomancer
Vengeful
-- can also work in combination with the above but is a pocket strat
Kunkka
Lina - Stun can be unreliable at times and you will need someone to lockdown first
Rhasta - I don't favor him in roaming for a few reasons but is good with other heroes.
Nyx Assassin
as a few people above have mentioned others I won't continue but point is if your hero has some nuke or disable you can probably roam with it decent;y enough.

what are some good heroes to roam with? is smoke ganking early game really worth the effort or no? If you solo the offlane and you are getting lane control, should you switch lane and try to roam even with hero like undying that has no stun or should you stay and try to soak up as much exp as possible.
