/// CLASS.MARKSMAN
Marksman: best heroes right now
Steady physical damage from range that grows with items.
What the class does
- Farm the gold lane to reach your full item build, because a marksman is weak without it.
- Attack the nearest safe target in fights and keep moving between attacks.
- Stay behind your front line and use your team to protect you; a dead marksman deals no damage.

What the pros pick
Marksman heroes most picked across 799 MPL and MSC games from Liquipedia (CC BY-SA 3.0).
What this does not know
- A hero with two classes appears on both class pages.
- A class page mixes every lane its heroes play, so the best hero here is not always the best pick for your lane. Use the lane pages for that.
- Pro picks come from tournament drafts with coordinated teams and bans, and do not carry over directly to solo queue.
