The Pocket's rollout is quite simple if you're using the Escape Plan. You simply shoot 2 rockets at your feet to get yourself down to ~60 health points and take out your Escape Plan. You run all the way to mid and remove it when you're there. The purpose of doing this is that you're going to get crit healed by your med right before the mid fight, so your med can heal the [[Roamer]] during the rest of the rollout.
