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
  짧은 도화선

  주기적으로 직스의 다음 기본 공격이 추가 마법 피해를 입힙니다. 직스가 스킬을 사용할 때마다 재사용 대기시간이 감소합니다.

• Q
  반동 폭탄

  직스가 반동 폭탄을 던져 마법 피해를 입힙니다.

• W
  휴대용 폭약

  직스가 폭약을 던지면 잠시 후, 혹은 스킬을 다시 사용할 때 폭발합니다. 폭발하면 적에게 마법 피해를 입히며 뒤로 밀어냅니다. 직스 역시 밀려나지만 피해는 입지 않습니다. 약해진 적 포탑에는 휴대용 폭약이 마법공학 폭발을 일으켜 피해를 입힐 수 있습니다.

  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
  마법공학 지뢰밭

  직스가 밟으면 폭발하는 지뢰를 뿌려, 지뢰에 닿은 적은 마법 피해를 입고 둔화됩니다. 같은 대상이 연속해서 지뢰를 밟으면 받는 피해량이 감소합니다.

• R
  지옥 화염 폭탄

  직스가 궁극의 무기 지옥 화염 폭탄을 조립하여 아주 멀리 날립니다. 폭발의 중심부에 있는 적들은 외곽에 있는 적들보다 더 큰 피해를 입습니다.

  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.

Itemization
