There are good reasons why gold lane fighters are being utilized by teams in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang professional play.
Fighters offer higher survivability compared to traditional marksmen, which allows them to maintain a gold lane presence without constant support, giving roamers more flexibility to assist elsewhere.

His passive skill gives him enhanced abilities after a few hits, allowing him to dish out even more damage or escape tricky situations.
Paquito’s mobility and ability to weave in and out of combat without taking too much damage make him one of the best gold lane fighters in the game.
Argus
Argus brings a different flavor to the gold lane with his ability to cheat death. His ultimate, Eternal Evil, temporarily prevents him from dying, turning him invincible for a short duration.
This allows Argus to dive into risky situations, absorb and deal out damage, and come out alive. His damage increases as his health decreases, making him a ticking time bomb in prolonged fights.
In the gold lane, Argus can bait enemies into overcommitting, only to turn the tables with his ultimate to secure kills.
Chou
Chou is typically played as a roamer because of his playmaking abilities.
But when built with Physical Damage items, the Kung Fu boy can easily take the title as the best gold lane fighter in the game.
His Jeet-Kune-Do is both a mobility and initiation ability, which he can use to bully enemy heroes in the gold lane.
Moreover, his ultimate, The Way of Dragon, allows him to kick an enemy hero toward his allies, setting up kills or disrupting enemy formations.
His mobility, provided by Shunpo, allows him to dodge attacks and initiate or escape as needed.
Chou’s ability to control the battlefield with his crowd control skills, combined with his damage potential and mobility, makes him a dangerous pick in the gold lane.
Ruby
Ruby is all about crowd control and Lifesteal. Her unique passive, Let’s Dance, increases her Lifesteal effect and allows her to move a short distance after casting a skill, making her slippery and hard to pin down.

Ruby’s skills enable her to pull enemies closer, disrupt their positioning, and sustain herself as she deals damage.
This control over enemy movements and her survivability through Lifesteal make Ruby one of the best gold lane fighters in Mobile Legends, capable of turning team fights in her favor with well-timed engages.
