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
  Kısa Fitil

  Düzenli aralıklarla Ziggs'in ilk normal saldırısı ek büyü hasarı verir. Bu bekleme süresi, Ziggs'in her yetenek kullanışında kısalır.

• Q
  Seksek Bomba

  Ziggs sekerek ilerleyen ve büyü hasarı veren bir bomba fırlatır.

• W
  Patlayıcı Lokumu

  Ziggs kısa bir gecikmenin ardından ya da bu yetenek tekrar etkinleştirildiğinde infilak eden bir patlayıcı lokumu atar. Patlama, rakiplere büyü hasarı vererek onları uzağa savurur. Ziggs de uzağa savrulur ama hasar almaz. Ziggs, Patlayıcı Lokumu'nu kullanarak yıpranmış kuleleri hextech gücüyle patlatabilir.

  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
  Sihirmayın Tarlası

  Ziggs, hedef bölgeye rakibe temas ettiğinde patlayıp büyü hasarı veren ve rakibi yavaşlatan mayınlar döşer. Aynı hedefin art arda üstüne bastığı mayınlar daha az hasar verir.

• R
  Cehennem Bombası

  Ziggs en büyük eseri olan Cehennem Bombası'nı olağanüstü uzak bir mesafeye savurur. Patlama bölgesinin ortasında kalan rakipler, uzaktakilere göre daha fazla hasar alır.

  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.
