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
  一触即发

  每过一段时间，吉格斯的下次普通攻击就会造成额外的魔法伤害。这个冷却时间会在吉格斯每用一次技能时得到减少。

• Q
  弹跳炸弹

  吉格斯扔出一个会弹跳的炸弹，对敌人造成魔法伤害。

• W
  定点爆破

  吉格斯扔出一个炸药包，会在一段延迟后爆炸，或者在再次施放该技能后爆炸。爆炸会对敌人造成魔法伤害，并将他们击退。吉格斯也会被击退，但不会受到伤害。吉格斯可以用这个技能来爆破敌方摇摇欲坠的防御塔。

  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
  海克斯爆破雷区

  吉格斯布下敌人一踩就炸的感应雷区，对踩中地雷的敌人造成魔法伤害和减速效果。对相同目标的后续爆炸将造成较少伤害。

• R
  科学的地狱火炮

  吉格斯部署他的尖端发明，科学的地狱火炮，将它推送一段极远的距离。在主要爆炸区域里的敌人会比在其它爆炸区域里的敌人受到更多的伤害。

  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.
