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
  Pavio Curto

  Periodicamente, o próximo ataque básico de Ziggs causa Dano Mágico adicional. Esse Tempo de Recarga é reduzido sempre que Ziggs usa uma habilidade.

• Q
  Bomba Saltitante

  Ziggs arremessa uma bomba que causa Dano Mágico.

• W
  Carga Concentrada

  Ziggs arremessa uma carga explosiva que detona depois de um intervalo ou quando a Habilidade é ativada novamente. A explosão causa Dano Mágico a inimigos, arremessando-os para longe. Ziggs também é empurrado, mas não sofre dano. Ziggs pode também usar Carga para Hexplodir torres inimigas vulneráveis.

  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
  Campo Minado de Hexplosivos

  Ziggs espalha minas de proximidade que detonam ao contato com inimigos, causando Dano Mágico e redução de velocidade. Várias detonações de minas no mesmo alvo causam dano reduzido.

• R
  Bomba Megainfernal

  Ziggs põe para funcionar sua maior criação, a Bomba Megainfernal, arremessando-a de uma enorme distância. Inimigos no centro da detonação recebem mais dano do que aqueles mais distantes.

  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.
