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
Krótki LontCo jakiś czas następny podstawowy atak Ziggsa zadaje dodatkowe obrażenia magiczne. Czas ten zostaje skrócony, ilekroć Ziggs użyje umiejętności.
Q
Skacząca BombaZiggs rzuca skaczącą bombę, która zadaje obrażenia magiczne.
W
Ładunek KumulacyjnyZiggs ciska ładunkiem wybuchowym, który eksploduje po niedługim opóźnieniu lub po ponownym użyciu umiejętności. Eksplozja zadaje wrogom obrażenia magiczne, odrzucając ich. Ziggs także zostaje odrzucony, jednak nie otrzymuje obrażeń. Ziggs może wykorzystać Ładunek, aby heksplodować wieże o naruszonej konstrukcji.
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
Hextechowe MinyZiggs podkłada miny zbliżeniowe, które wybuchają, gdy zostaną dotknięte przez wrogów, zadając obrażenia magiczne i spowalniając ich. Każda kolejna mina, której wybuch obejmie ten sam cel, zada mniejsze obrażenia.
R
Megapiekielna BombaZiggs ciska swoje arcydzieło, Megapiekielną Bombę, na znaczną odległość. Wrogowie w epicentrum wybuchu otrzymują większe obrażenia od tych bardziej oddalonych.
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
Ziggs is AP artillery. Dodge his bombs and mines, gap-close with mobility, and magic resist blunts his poke. Divers and assassins hard-counter his immobility.
