How to beat Ziggs

Common role: Mid

A bomb-lobbing artillery mage who zones with mines and blows up towers.

What makes Ziggs dangerous

Ziggs lobs bouncing bombs (Q) for long-range poke, plants proximity mines (W) that knock you back and zone, and his ultimate is a huge long-range bomb that nukes a target. He excels at poking you out, zoning objectives, and demolishing towers, all from a safe distance.

How to play against Ziggs

• 1Dodge his bouncing Q bombs — they're his main poke. Watch the bounce and stand behind minions.
• 2His W mine knocks you back and zones — don't walk over it, and it can also displace him or you. Path around his mines.
• 3He's immobile (his W self-knockback is his only reposition). Gap-close onto him or all-in when his W is down.
• 4Respect his ult range — it snipes low targets from a screen away. Don't sit low in a straight line from him.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Immobile besides his W self-knockback.
• ✓All his damage is dodgeable skillshots.
• ✓No hard CC to stop a dive.
• ✓Deleted when a diver reaches him.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Ziggs's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Mèche courte

  Périodiquement, la prochaine attaque de base de Ziggs inflige des dégâts magiques supplémentaires. Ce délai est réduit quand Ziggs utilise une compétence.

• Q
  Bombe rebondissante

  Ziggs lance une bombe rebondissante qui inflige des dégâts magiques.

• W
  Charge explosive

  Ziggs jette une charge explosive qui explose après un délai, ou quand vous réactivez cette compétence. L'explosion inflige des dégâts magiques aux ennemis et les repousse. Ziggs aussi est repoussé mais il ne subit aucun dégât. Ziggs peut utiliser cette charge pour hexploser les tourelles ennemies vulnérables.

  Strong: a mine that knocks you back and zones an area. Weak: don't walk over it — path around his mines to avoid the displacement.

• E
  Mines Hexplosives

  Ziggs disperse des mines de proximité qui explosent au contact des ennemis, leur infligeant des dégâts magiques et les ralentissant. Quand un ennemi déclenche une mine, les mines supplémentaires lui infligent des dégâts réduits.

• R
  Méga bombe infernale

  Ziggs déploie sa création ultime, la Méga bombe infernale, et la lance de très loin. Les ennemis dans la zone d'impact principale subissent plus de dégâts que les ennemis plus éloignés.

  Strong: a huge long-range bomb that snipes low targets. Weak: it's a skillshot — dodge it and don't sit low in a straight line from him.
