Laning Against Ziggs

Stay away from minion waves to avoid his Bouncing Bomb (Q) poke damage. This ability has short cooldown and deals significant AOE damage.

Engage in auto-attack trades after Ziggs uses his empowered auto-attack, as he's weak in basic attack exchanges due to his AP-focused build.

Match his wave clear to prevent early tower damage from his W ability. Ziggs excels at pushing waves and taking towers quickly.

Strategy Against Ziggs

Force immediate team fights to counter his poke-oriented gameplay. Ziggs prefers to whittle down enemies with Q before engaging.

Eliminate him before sieging objectives. His wave clear and zone control make tower pushing difficult while he's alive.

Contest his blue buff to limit his mana sustenance and reduce his ability to continuously poke in team fights.
