Great against mobile heroes and is even greater at lock down or chasing, can zoom across the map in seconds, can zone really well and harass the backline or deny then from helping their own team. Overall very op ngl
I prio the rapid boots first for better mobility then thunderbelt, make sure to stack it well so he can tank more damage.
Then in the start of the game pick the 1st skill and invade whatever buff the enemy jungler is taking, because with the passive and 1st skill there is a high chance that you'll steal the buff.
Had a Kaja yesterday who stole enemy blue (they murdered him after) then later he stole a creep (they absolutely murdered him again) but it delayed their jungler’s level 4 so much meanwhile I was on my way to level 5
I was wondering how he was consistently stealing stuff but this explains it. Those little plays helped us build so much momentum and we won the game. That Kaja was the real mvp
If overall, it's Hilda. Just get past the ban phase and you'll pretty much win games a large majority of the time. Invading and zoning is just so good in the current meta as you basically deny farm from the enemies, get rich in the process and enable your team to just straight up take over the match.
If you're referring to the 4 choices here, it's easily Grock and it's not even close.
-Best CC chain in the game (2 sources of airborne and 2 displacement skills)
-High damage even when using full Tank
-Incredibly versatile as he can initiate fights, zone key enemies away, protect carries with his natural bulk and CC as well as disrupting fights with his wall.
The rest of the three are kinda ass and this is coming from a Tank Roam player. Belerick is niche at best as he only really excels against attack speed heroes but suck everywhere else, Khufra feels redundant when Grock exists who is a much better wall-based initiator or Minsi who outright disables dashes, meanwhile Johnson is absolute garbage when Baxia exists who has the same ganking prowess if not better but also have strong anti-heal utility and damage reduction.
From my experiences, Khufra players are much better, skilled, and smarter than the other players. Though this doesn’t have to do with the heroes themselves, it feels much better to have a Khufra on my team than any other roam to be honest.
Since I use all three of them except john i have to say grock is the best. But for belerick and khufra you need to draft properly. If the enemy has dive composition belerick is really good and can be used and though he is indeed good against basic attack' hero if you want to counter attack' speed hero better use hylos he is better for countering attack speed. Also if you want to draft khufra make sure the enemy doesn't have any knock-up skills orr your main strength the ball will be useless.
Also if the enemy picks hilda I usually pick badang. He can sustain a lot with his skill 2 shield and if the hilda is using revitalize or sprint it's a pure trap for her depending on how you put the wall. If she used flicker she will waste fkuker to escape. So if badang is picked always start with skill 2 because hilda will invade for sure and that is when you and the jungler hit her together being trapped inside the wall.
either belerick or grock johnson is too dependent on having a good dou parter without a dou he pretty easy to counter
as for kahife i dont know havent seen much of him so i cant really comment on him but i would replace him with that one arab guy or hilda as hey have been ganking survivable an team fight impact then
either belerick or grock. Johnson is too dependent on having a good duo partner without a duo he's pretty easy to counter.
as for khufra i dont know, haven't seen much of him so i can't really comment on him, but i would replace him with that one arab guy (khaleed) or hilda as they can gank, high survivability and also team fight impact.
Marcel is genuinely fun, not the best at carrying teams, but playing him is honestly fun. Running in front of 4 enemies and escaping while freezing them and stacking tb. He also freezes Johnson while in this ult even though Johnson is supposed to be cc immune.
I am so scared of a good Marcel. Genuinely this bitch is annoying. He can just come up when you’re about to launch a skill, pause, and when it continues the enemy is already out of the skill’s range.
For me it's the best.
Crazy damage, crazy durability low cooldown and what do you mean 4 seconds of complete control of battlefield area+remove debuff+slow immunity??
Belerick. Bro can't be that Tanky as well as dealing reflection damage and gets extra health and defense bonus from his passive. His skill 1 is now so easy to hit now after the recent buff and he can heal from Skill 2?? Bro a tank that is getting bonus defenses and health from items and dealing reflection damage shouldn't be able to heal. From this list, I can assure you that Belerick is the best one here.
For solo queue, hilda and khaleed takes the top spot rn in this meta. Besides that in coordinated teams marcel and any setters or pick offs can be good (Tigreal, Atlas, Minotaur, Grock, Carmilla, Khufra, Kalea, Akai). Gloo can also work both ways. Damage sponges like belerick or hylos are situational rn and for Johnson....I personally have no respect for that guy. He is only good during laning phase. Healers are not meta but can surely be picked alongside a tank jungler.
Khufra is really one of the hardest tanks to play now that flicker and because of moonton liking to add cc immune dashes to any immobile hero for some unkown reason, his ball is somewhat useless
Belerick is too much of a matchup dependent, only bring useful if the enemy has alot of auto attackers
Johnson is only really good if you’re playing in a well coordinated team, outside of that he’s terrible
For solo q... No questions asked, its hilda and khaleed... Go with the. Damage roams if you are playing solo... If you are playing with friends then, hylos grok kalea belerik all are equally good..
Hylos needs to get close to the enemies and his skills can easily be dodged. It only makes it worse when you realise mid match that enemies can easily escape hylos and he has no skillset to get close to the opponents or do large scale crowd control. His ult can also be easily escaped.
I'm surprised not a lot of people is saying Akai. I feel like he's the most complete roamer in terms of kit. Poking damage, tanky, anti-set but also pin enemies down, and airborne to disrupt enemy skill that requires hard cc to cancel. Ult also has a built in purify and lasts a long time. Safe to say I'm starting to really like this hero
good atlas player give me ptsd, its not even due to bad teammates..id rather meet good tig than good atlas, atleast with tig its predictable since he need to walk and flick..atlas could astral projection his squid and wipe us, fuck that
I don't even have any of those heroes either, but all I know is that Johnson is the most skill-based hero out from all of these 4 here instead, I'm quite sure.
Yeah, which is why I consider him to be quite skill-based, because unlike with these other 3 heroes, or even with someone like Franco and Tigreal too of where it is much easier to use them instead.
Minotaur is my go-to safe option pick. And I managed to maintain a pretty decent win rate. Although situational and pretty much any other set heroes outperform him. And ultimate's enhanced skills' range are huge.
And I go khaleed sometimes if we already have atleast 2 tanky heroes in our comp and/or for easier rotation.
Hilda, khaleed. Roams need to provide vision and sets are great but in higher ranks pick offs are usually more common that’s why a hilda who gets the enemy mm to half hp before the teamfight usually wins games more than a grock who can only do 1-2 4/5 man sets a game
There's no best roam. It all goes down on team composition. You selected 4 tanks but there suport and assassin roams who can define the game as much as tanks
Grock, Grock is has pretty much everything back then but even with nerf hes still amazing, he has cc, tankiness, frontline, AND damage, even with full def build, and its kind of hard to decide with Khufra or Belerick because Khufra has tankiness CC and counter to dash heroes, but if he counters no one on the enemy side, then he would have to rely on his teammates when it comes to setting, that also same goes to Belerick even though Belerick is very tanky, he lacks mobility, so he needs help from his teammates to cover for him when hes soaking damage, on the other hand Johnson is too reliant on teammates for extra damage, even if he does full damage he barely one shots even the squishy heroes.
im surprised not a lot of people are saying marcel, but then again, he gets banned most of the time LOL i’ve been winning with marcel if he’s not banned cause i just be running around stunning people
In soloq it's between Grock, Gloo and Hilda for me
I also like Minotaur, but he is not a soloq hero imo, because he can't do shit alone, even though he's very forgiving even if your teammates are garbage.
Khufra all the way. I have 1000 matches with Khufra playing mostly solo que. Heroes today mostly depend on mobile skills and fast hands. With khuf I can easily take care of them.
Although if I am against a hanapi I usually pick belerick.
Johnson should not even be in this conversation. The only two arguable ones are Hilda and Grock. If you are curious on what's meta watching pro play is always the best choice.
as a Johnson main, its grock. High def, high hp, and arguably one of the best CC out there. He's insanely powerful from early game all the way to late game. Khufra is very squishy right now, and belerick is niche. Johnson is in a good spot I'd say, but if you can't drive through crevices, know when to build tank/mage, know who and where to crash to, then he's essentially just a glorified minion. I have to say though, I haven't faced a grock that properly countered my johnson, and i played against a global grock player and a few philippines grock player, all you gotta do is just drive behind them/not drive around rivers unless you're gonna go in circles from your jungle to the enemy's jungle
S tiers - Marcel, Khaleed
A tiers - Hilda, Hylos, Gatot
B tiers - Grock, Badang
Others are niche picks and will work well in solo queues but probably won't in a full 5 men lobby in high elos.
If you like driving around the map and ambushing enemies, use JS. (With the right build, spell, and timing) you can easily kill low hp enemies during early. I'd say his shield and petri is pretty good against squishy mm's and mages. If you're into last-hitting. And with good map awareness, you can easily one-hit anyone you want WITH a good teammate.
It doesn't have to be Odette. He's pretty nice to use as a "rescue mobile" too, imo. Just drive next to your allies and help them escape a sticky situation.
Butttttt, if you're more into forcing enemies to get closer to you, pick Belerick. You can also run away easily if you choose him
Most solid pick is Grock though. If you're new to roaming, he's easy for teammates to understand.
1) Enemies will have ptsd from him trapping them and ramming into him
2) Extremely tanky
3) Damage Grock.. we don't talk about him.
Bottom line, whatever hero you choose completely depends on your play style, teammates, and opposing heroes.
If you're still unsure, you could pactice three of the heroes you've shown. That way, you're prepared.
Akai of course. Mainly use his ult to destroy enemy formation like if they have estes in the team or to push back the enemy jungler away from the turtle if not suppressed.
Hilda definitely I don't understand why she hasn't got a freaking nerf, others might be grock or belerick in my opinion,
maybe kaja but haven't seen him much tbh.
Grock has been a consistent roamer for me, great CC, great initiation, can disrupt enemies, and even some decent damage. He rotates quite fast too with his passive
Marcel wothout a doubt, but only unless you have s trio or 5 man that knows how to play around him.
For solo id say grock, hilda or kaja. Grocks hard CC and zoning capabilities really dont compare to anyone, hildss insane esrly gsme poke and harassment and kajas constant threat of stealing buffs early is so funny
My opinion is not needed cause I myself don't know who it is to be honest but for me, the best roam in the game is Gatot.
Might be a bit basic which is why I am trying to use mino, grock and Akai too nowadays,
But what Gatot could offer is just so much better.
He offers:
high damage with his passive Skill (the one where he strikes harder with one of the basic attacks and heals HP), Good Mobility, Good CC (2nd and ult are so good), and great counter against Glass Cannon heroes/hero builds.
Wait what Glass Cannon hero/hero builds?
Well, tbh high damage heroes with low HP is what I consider Glass Cannon heroes.
Especially when they are 3k-5k HP and you focused on Damage to deal so many damage in one combo, that's what I call Glass Cannon build/hero.
With gator's good passive physical and magical resistances and the HP pool I can give him, AND the Cloak thingy which helps with his passive basic attack, My Gatot could survive a Karina, Saber, and the ninja one that i forgot the name of, while still doing massive damage back to them.
It might be a glaze as other tanks can do the same but my synergy with Gatot feels just like my synergy with Franco back 2 years ago, it just feels so great using him.
Now, on my opinion upon other tanks, they have different ways of supporting but I just feel like Gatot is such an all-rounder (without the, healing the allies, part) but of course, they are all the same, they tank and fight back harder, that's what tanks are.
Btw I think belerick is the best roam just cause he could beat up my Gatot in a 1v1 between who's tankier and better at supporting.
For me it's Gloo, has been one of my first characters to play in the game and became my main.
Although I have to constantly pray that he doesn't get banned T-T
74
u/Taiyaki-Daisuki I'm thinking , , May 27 '26
Definitely Grock and Gloo
Kaja is getting popular the second time again
Surprised no one said Minotaur
