A comparison of marksman lane clearing efficiency: Marco Polo earns money but lacks damage, while Sun Quan, with no shortage of resources, becomes a meta pick: Jungler Edition

The game world is as virtual as reality, and both worlds require money. The moment you step into the game world, everything starts from scratch. There are no resources or items. Before you become a revered master, you must hone your skills in the low ranks, complete tasks, collect gold coins, and choose your favorite hero from among thousands to climb all the way to the highest rank.

Once you've reached a certain level in terms of skill, teamwork, map awareness, and attention to detail, you can consider expanding your hero pool and trying out other lanes. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." To understand the opponent's attack patterns, you must immerse yourself in their game, experience it firsthand, and figure out their tactics to counter them later. Money, money, money—it sounds mercenary, but it's a crucial element of competition, testing your management and development. A hero's strength isn't just reflected in their innate attributes; most importantly, it's about economic growth.

Marksmen farm gold at a rate comparable to junglers.

The key to esports is earning money to buy equipment. Having equipment is essential for dealing damage. Some players prefer jungling, primarily due to the resources in the jungle. Jungling allows players to farm minions quickly, suppress opponents, engage in fights, and secure kills in a few moves, while simultaneously giving all three lanes an advantage and snowballing. No wonder teammates often call for help from the jungler. When the enemy arrives to assist, the jungler might become overly aggressive, resulting in a 4v2 situation where the marksman and support die frequently, getting tower-dived and killed. Meanwhile, teammates seem indifferent, focusing solely on farming and playing their own game. This becomes pointless, leading the jungler to lash out and disrupt the enemy's mentality. Since no one is willing to help defend, they simply leave their lane. Junglers who only focus on earning money and neglecting their duties are the most annoying.

However, have you considered who else besides this position can develop the fastest? Assassins have limited power spikes; a match lasts 20 to 30 minutes. They can't stay in the jungle forever. At some point, they have to relinquish resources, just like marksmen who take down towers—they can't stay in their lanes forever, right? Taking control of the mid-to-late game, turning the tide, and pushing forward to win against all odds depends on the marksman's performance, indicating they also desperately need gold to develop and build strength. Data released by the King of Glory website shows the top-ranked player is unexpected: their skills deal high damage to jungle monsters, but they are hesitant to engage in fights.
