Specifically roaming with Scout. I know roamers are ones with stuns and stuff, but Scout has an excellent burst, although he is item dependant, so I guess he would need farm as well. Bad idea?

Roaming is something that is done in the first 6-10 minutes of the game during the laning stage. The hero is called a roamer since it doesn't have a lane, it is roaming around the map trying to set up kills.

Roamers are generally underleveled during the first 10 minutes of the game. How useful is a level 1 scout at trying to set up a kill? What about level 2, 3, 4? If you compare his skills to that of a magmus or behe or witch slayer, his killing potential is very poor.

Is that what you meant by roaming?

Yeah, I guess it was a shitty question. Some kid asked me if I was roaming, when I picked Scout, and it just made me think. Never mind :}

I farm as solid as I can, most of my TPs are spent on either porting to fights I can snipe a kill or two in or to a tower that's being pushed, at least in mid game. End game I just look for lone squishies, and ofc go to teamfights :}
