    I mean how should the laning phases be? how many heroes should be roaming? when to start roaming?

        ward 1 rune spot. Call out runes. Ask top/bot to get runes if you are unable mid. Or Have trilane/support smoke gank at approximate times, such as before level 6 hits mid etc...

        For offlane that means calling 'MISS' even when the enemy is pulling etc.... That way if they smoke gank you're not to blame. Also ping like crazy when u see a invis rune gone, missing roaming enemy heroes etc.

        Only 2 heroes roaming at most. And you should only start roaming at level 2 onwards. Hope this helps.

            i know this may sound a bit silly, but as a support i usually play with 1 eye on the field and 1 on the map...
            most of the times when i don't need to deny or care about the creeps in the lane i move my hero while looking all the time at the map.

            This helps me a lot to notice strange movement of opposing team heroes, predicts ganks and overall to be careful or control runes for the team.

                Get towers. Towers are more gold, jungle entrances, sentry and observers at the same time and TP spots. They are very important if you want to have map control.
