Various ML Roles You Must Know
Furthermore, here are various ML roles that you must know along with their functions and duties in order to form a strong team:
Marksman
The first ML role is Marksman. Meanwhile, heroes with the Marksman role usually have high physical attacks and attack speed.
In addition, Marksman also acts as a damage dealer when a team war takes place. No wonder, Marksman is often targeted for ganking before a team war occurs.
As a damage dealer, Marksman needs complete items to be able to provide high damage. Therefore, Marksman is always in the gold line position so that he can buy items quickly.
You need to remember, playing as Marksman must be able to keep your distance and pay attention to positioning. If you ignore both of these things, then your team could lose the damage dealer and lose in the team war.

Based on this, Tanks usually become the 'body' of the team to receive all damage given by the opposing team. Furthermore, Tanks also have an important role in opening team wars and ganking the opponent's damage dealers.

Then, there are heroes with roles support whose skills can provide buff, healing or crowd control effects. Usually, heroes with the Support role are an alternative choice besides Tank.
However, some Support heroes do not have high HP. So, it is less suitable to be used as a 'body' during team war. Meanwhile, the job of a Support is to ensure that the team's heroes remain safe while doing war by providing HP healing.

Usually, Mages occupy the Mid Lane so they can rotate to Exp or Gold to help in ganking enemy heroes.
