However, it is not that easy. This type of hero is usually weak in the early game, and if the player fails to snowball during this period, his maximum potential will not show until mid to late game, for it will take longer to complete their items.
There is one pro player in this position who stands out with incredible stats: Jabran “Branz” Wiloko.

Just how good is this guy?
Branz is considered one of the most dominant gold laners in MPL Indonesia.
Renowned for his exceptional hero pool and adaptability, he reached the pinnacle of success by after leading Team Indonesia to a gold medal triumph at the IESF 2022.

In an exclusive interview with ONE Esports, then EVOS gold laner shared some marksman tips to help players emulate him.
“Tips for playing MLBB marksman? First you need to have confidence. Then understand your hero’s power,” Branz said.
