Tips Against Ziggs in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
WayOfTheTempesst says “Don't see ziggs much but he is pretty easy to deal with. Only way this lanes really an issue is if you get hit by all of the poke he throws at you which is pretty simple to dodge as long as you don't clump with the minions because his Q is a lot easier to dodge out of the wave. Don't dash into his mine field and dash out of the middle of his ulti to not get hit by the max damage of it. You can also windwall infront of him during an all in to try to deny him the satchel escape.”
Katawina52 says “Ziggs' base dmg is really fking high so if he hits 2 Qs early you're already 60% hp, so obviously not getting hit by his poke is key in this matchup. Dont stand near minions because his Q aoe explodes on minions so it's way easier for him to hit you. All ins aren't that easy too cuz of his knockup when you go in, but you can still do a fairly decent amount of damage by just standard trade comboing him and once you have Bork/Wits end you can probably look to perma kill him aswell. So just make sure you survive his early high dmg poke. Also dont roam too much vs a ziggs or he will take ur inhibitor tower in 15 mins. ”
Fuzzmonkey says “Very very easy match up if you can dodge all of his Q's. He will most likely use his W to keep distance between you and him when you go in with your W. But if you manage to get your chain onto him whilst going in to him you should be able to out-trade him no matter what. Rinse and repeat. Same at level 6, using your chains will keep him from going anywhere.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Corrupting Potion because Intensive Poke and sustain is heavily needed. Biscuits MIGHT work too but I'd rather have Minion Dematerializer.
In Long Range Mages Matchups you have to try to understand their Q pattern and where they will cast it. They would generally want to either poke
you down to kill you or shove you out of the lane, but the matchup is not really impossible if you get boots and try to get close to them for a nice combo.Ziggs has the most oppressive wave clear with Q/E/R and he will demolish your towers if you roam too much, so create a balance. Allow him to take your tower only if you gank and get THEIR tower first on bot or top. Careful for Ziggs W, he can INSEC you and setup ganks for his jungler.
Try to be as non predictable as possible.
Get Minion Dematerializer.
Post 6 try to either get close on them with your ult and outplay with flash OR roam
bot faster than them and get kills. They will follow with their long range abilities but by the time they actually do something meaningful you should have sealead
the deal. This matchup is all about roaming and learning how to
properly dodge his poke on lane. It is okay if you do not get kills, but it is not ok to get killed especially since he cannot 100-0 you unless he's super fed.
”
elnino9 says “Dodge his Q bombs. Go aggressive if his abilities are on CD. Ziggs is a mana user and has to use up a lot of mana to poke, go in when he has none. He's Squishy and not really one of the hardest matchup, if Ziggs overextends go aggressive. Watch for his satchel when going for an all-in. Start Doran shield against him or boots to avoid his Q bombs, both good options.”
Ambitieux says “Ziggs skill shots are very predictable so you have to be a little more light foot for this matchup. Try to not sit on top of minions. Try to get into a halfway point of Ziggs so you can get a nice charm. He is pretty dead if you get a charm off, especially past 6. Look for all ins or even jungle assistance due to his low mobility.”
LunarVortex says “His poke is annoying but that's about it. Try to match his push with your W to prevent him from damaging your tower too much. Get early boots to dodge his poke.”
Aegox says “If he lands his E behind you, he will probably try to rush you, try to R away but if you can't you have a chance of hitting your E and getting away or killing him.”
Hullos says “Just worse Vel and Xerath, he has a harder time keeping you away as he escape is not good enough most of the time. A good Ziggs can make it feel bad but at least its not a good Xerath. Keep away from roams as he can decimate your tower. ”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “You can outsustain his poke during teamfights look for where his ult is landing. Just can't get a good combo on him because of his W”
Fuzzmonkey says “A nice poke match up, dodge all of his Q's and try and he all your Q's. You both work the same way since you're disengage is your E, same with his time bomb. Make sure you play as aggressive as possible if he isn't able to hit his skillshots. ”
Coldsong says “Ziggs is easy but very tedious to lane against due to his strong Q poke, waveclear from his E, and the fact that he can knock you away with his W. Try to dodge his skillshots and do not let him free push, since he clears towers very fast. Also, make sure to NOT stand in the center when he ults since it deals the most damage.”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “If you play safe you might kill him if he missplays otherwise he can out trade you but cannot kill you unless you missplay and cannot dodge”
Hienaa says “Even tho they are ranged champions, if you hit 1 Q on them, they cant contest your insane damage output and they just have to take it. One tapped every time.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) play around his W CD as its the only mobility he has and only trade with him after he used his passive, then you can kill him quite easily, would recommend ignite/TP.”
DarDarThePenguin says “A standard poke mage with very little to keep you off him. He's squishy, immobile, and has damage easy to dodge/cancel. Take the Fleet page and MR.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) play around his W CD as its the only mobility he has and only trade with him after he used his passive, then you can kill him quite easily, would recommend ignite/TP.”
Sanctuar says “His pushing power gets strong once he has a Luden's, before that you can easily keep up with his waveclear by maxing Q and make sure you dodge his Q and E while laning.”
Cornifa says “He does not deal a lot of damage despite him being ranged, just keep your distance and trade when necessary, try to freeze the wave under your tower for convenience.”
Hiimkata says “Ziggs' base dmg is really fking high so if he hits 2 Qs early you're already 60% hp, so obviously not getting hit by his poke is key in this matchup. Dont stand near minions because his Q aoe explodes on minions so it's way easier for him to hit you. All ins aren't that easy too cuz of his knockup when you go in, but you can still do a fairly decent amount of damage by just standard trade comboing him and once you have Bork/Wits end you can probably look to perma kill him aswell. So just make sure you survive his early high dmg poke. Also dont roam too much vs a ziggs or he will take ur inhibitor tower in 15 mins.”
ParkChnm says “Same with Xerath, he outranged and outdamages Orianna a lot, even with E. In lane, try to stay away from minions since he his Q has a small AoE effect. Banshee's is a good item late game. If you do get onto Ziggs, he should be dead since he's really squishy.”
KataTocDo says “Annoying if the Zigg has a brain. Easy to kill though if he does not know how to play the game. If he does know how to play, just let him push up and EW onto him. Let him waste his get-away blast cone thing and then QER.
Runes: Elec- Prec.
Starting Items: D Shield or Dark Seal”
Elite500 says “Has a lot of range, if he plays clean it'll be hard to kill, also most ziggs go barrier so fuck that shit, if he goes MR then you cant really kill him”
wildersovereign says “Very non-threatening matchup. You can match his waveclear and heavily out-damage him in fights. His poke is obnoxious but all of it is dodgeable and doesn't do enough damage to force you out of lane unless you keep running into his bombs. His only escape is W, but this can mess your ult up if he has it up, so try to go in on him after he uses it if possible.”
ITSDEBEAR says “Pretty easy. Same case as Brand. You just dont lose too much hp, take him down to half hp and after he dies once itll be hard for him to comeback
”
rajsovsky says “Very annoying if he hits spells. It's like dodge simulator. No cooldown on spells. You are pretty much going to need wraiths, but hes squishy so when you get Rocketbelt you can try to kill him.”
invalidd says “Not too hard to beat if you dodge most of the spells and if not you will regen most of it anyway, you can trade against him fairly easily, don't let
him shit on ur tower too hard because he can take it down really quick with his bomb when it's low HP and don't underestimate his dmg. Fairly easy to gank.”
Sylvan Lore says “The way this lane plays out really depends on how good the Ziggs is at landing his abilities. He can outrange you and outdamage your E shield so you need to dodge skill and stay away from the splash damage he will be doing while he pushes the minion wave. Late game you will need a banshee veil to survive just a few spell from him, but he is an easy target if you can get close to him. One R->Q->W should be enough to 1 shot him on only 4-5 items. Most of my losses to Ziggs are from my team trying to rush objectives and him just Ulting them away from us. If you are confident in dodging, i would say trade with him in lane, but be cautious.
Recommend: Barrier and Dmg Build”
SkellyBirb says “Ziggs is a bit annoying to face because of how much damage he can do through abilities. You can spell shield and trade with him, however he has bombs on the ground that you can't really shield against. This can zone you fairly hard, however he's pretty manageable as long as you can hit your Qs and shield his bouncing bombs.”
Zenzyx says “This matchup is only a challenge if you let him poke you down enough that you cant go all in. Ziggs has a lot of damage early and can poke you out of lane with Q and E. If Ziggs uses his W to launch in immediately trade him, you should kill. ”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Match his wavelcear with your Q and passive
- You can only look to kill him if he wastes his W
- Look to outroam him
- Play with your jungler”
BCota says “Pokes you out of lane ask for ganks when you can. Try to farm as much as possible try to heal from raptors too. Take DShield. Again, if you can dodge skillshots like Faker you win this matchup as he cant damage you but you have a point-and-click Q”
Chili Dog says “Has a lot of range, if he plays clean it'll be hard to kill, also most ziggs go barrier so fuck that shit, if he goes MR then you cant really kill him. Phase Rush is recommended.”
Xiphire says “Try to not get poked and pushed away while you try to trade and you should be good. You should also watch out for his slow as it really slows your dash.”
Noodles912 says “Play safe early, and roam. Thats all to it, since he will blast himself always if you ult. Watch for his early poke. Corrupting pots are greats, combined with your PTA.”
vCraze says “Ziggs is an easy matchup for Xerath because of the range advantage. In lane phase you don't want to be standing next to the minions as it makes it easier for Ziggs to land his Q. Poke him when you can and once you get Ludens it should be fairly simple.”
Last Roar says “Ziggs can't be left alone. He has only one objective and thats to take turrets. Just keep your lane pushed up, he's squishy so you can poke him down and look for all ins. But dont roam, he may pick up some kills with his ult if hes good.
/
/
/
Obj: dont roam, focus on taking first turret. Try to win all ins against him. You can snowball vs him, but he can kill turrets in a few shots late. So force an early win.”
OxiteoMyst says “Ziggs is more annoying than a threat. He gets side lane and jg pressure after 6 because of his ult. He shouldn't be able to kill you but he can poke you down easily, make sure to sidestep his spells. Watch out for jg ganks.”
WolfRider01 says “He's just a poke mage. He can easily shut Yasuo down if played correctly. Avoid being hit by the bouncing bomb (Q) and be aggressive and you should be fine. Take fleet if you feel uncomfortable fighting him.”
Bobbab says “When his w is down he is easily killed. Ziggs often saves this abillity though so try to all in multiple times as your e can come up before it.”
sweodigaming says “Very high damage, a good Ziggs can easily kill you with one combo. He is super squishy however, take that weakness to your advantage. His whole kit surrounds long range abilities, so he has an advantage in range.”
JoshAy says “Very annoying because he can poke you HARD. Ult is good, and he can disengage pretty well. He will demolish your tower so pick roam timers carefully. Not played often. ”
MetaKnight13373 says “Ziggs has a lot of long range poke damage, however it is more easy to dodge than Xerath's or Lux's he also doesn't have any great tools to self peel, like Xerath and Lux do.”
FalleN3 says “Ziggs has a lot of range and considerable wave-clear and will most likley spam you with (Q) Bouncing Bomb and keep the lane pushed hard. If he manages to land his (W) Satchel Charge and place an (E) Hexplosive Minefield you can find yourself in a world of trouble. You really need to avoid his (E) Hexplosive Minefield as they will slow you a lot making it possible for him to land his other abilities. He's very immobile and only has his (W) Satchel Charge for escape potential, try to punish him if it's on cooldown - especially if your Jungler is around and able to gank. Concentrate on farming, take Barrier and avoid his skill-shots. TIP: You take less damage from his ultimate if you are not standing in the center of it.”
AP WormMaW Mid says “In this matchup it's crucial to understand how Ziggs Q works. It has bigger explosion radius, than "trigger" radius. That means that if he blows it up on minion, you might get damaged, which is how Ziggs mostly tries to harass you, but if you stand isolated from your minions, it should be fairly easy to avoid his Qs, because it literally has to jump on your face, to make it blow. Don't be too greedy and don't go into face to face all in trade, because thats where he can kite you over his mine field and finnish you off with his ult. Abuse the fact, that your skillshots are a bit more reliable than his ones.”
SkellyBirb says “Ziggs has a lot of poke, but little kill potential. Just use your shrines and play behind minions to make it hard for him to poke you.”
FalleN3 says “My advice in this match-up is to play safe until level 6. He has a massive range advantage over you and will take full advantage of this. Try your best not to die in this lane early as it will put you at a serious disadvantage against him. Farm with your (Q) if that is all you can do. As long as you haven't fallen massively behind once you hit level 6 the lane swings to your favour. If you step on his mines you're gonna get slowed as well as take damage and this is going to make it much easier for him to land AA and abilities on you.”
FalleN3 says “If you don't take much damage from him before level 3 you can try for an all-in then, however I tend to try to play safe until level 6. He has a massive range advantage over you and will take full advantage of this. Try your best not to die in this lane early as it will put you at a serious disadvantage against him. He will end up pushing hard so farm under tower as best as you can. As long as you haven't fallen massively behind once you hit level 6 the lane swings to your favour. If you step on his mines you're gonna get slowed as well as take damage and this is going to make it much easier for him to land AA and abilities on you. Try to save your (E) for dodging his ulti if possible.”
Shazzaam says “His poke is decent and he demolishes your tower. You won't have prio so call your jungler for some assistance. Don't leave him alone with your tower.”
xAsuta says “Just like Teemo he can poke you a lot but if you all in him he can't fight you back. If you have problems buy Hexdrinker for MR and AD or rush Mercs to run him down. ”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. You just kind of beat him because he doesn't really deal that much damage early. If he for whatever reason puts himself in a position to be ran down then you can do just that. Take Conq.”
ShockMaster says “This matchup is a bit complicated,like who made the first one shot win. Wait for him to use 2-3 abilities on minions,and go with a different combo: E+R(R instead of flash with 1 sec difference)+Flash+W+Q.This combo will surprise him and will not let him to escape with his W”
Yuki H. says “Very annoying to deal with, mainly because he is an AOE control mage. Ziggs primarily seeks to farm with his empowered autos and Q, all the while building mana items like Archangel's Staff or Luden's. He will probably purchase Zhonya's some time, so make sure to not get baited too hard, and check his item slots to make sure he does not have a Stopwatch or Zhonya's. It's fine to be pushed in against a Ziggs since it makes it easier for junglers to gank. Just try to avoid getting hit by his Qs when he is only trying to farm. Also, make sure to dodge his Satchel Charge (W) with your pre-positioned shadow so you can swap with it right after you ult. Otherwise, while you are displaced he will have enough time to jump and flash out.”
Veralion says “MANY BEADS. Third worst matchup. Dodge the game. His Q travels a mile and is deceptive. W doesn’t let you close distance. E zones you away from all farm. And even if you dodge all of that, his passive will still chip you down and force you back. You basically aren’t allowed to ever auto a creep, even under your own turret if the Ziggs has two hands and half a brain. You have one very brief window to all in him at 6 and gain some ground back, as he is fragile and will melt, but past that he will probably have too much gold on you. Fleet is necessary here. Your only hope is that you have a jungler that can take advantage of him while he’s denying you under turret. Ask to swap with top if the alternative matchups would be more beneficial. Thankfully, Ziggs is rare for reasons that I do not really understand, he is still REALLY good, so here’s hoping you’re never in this situation.”
vuty2002 says “Even though Yasuo's Wind Wall can block almost entirely Ziggs' abilities, his W has a very long cooldown (30s).
It's best to block only his E so you can get close to him.”
Ghostwalker562 says “His poke can be devastating and his disengages and slows can be such a rough game. However, you do kill him so much faster but the ticking in the early game is what's most harmful to you. Use your E often to farm and as range because your is has a very far range.”
PepeOnDrugs says “My advice in this match-up is to play safe until level 6. He has a massive range advantage over you and will take full advantage of this. Try your best not to die in this lane early as it will put you at a serious disadvantage against him. Farm with your (Q) if that is all you can do. As long as you haven't fallen massively behind once you hit level 6 the lane swings to your favour. If you step on his mines you're gonna get slowed as well as take damage and this is going to make it much easier for him to land AA and abilities on you.
”
Debonair Karma says “You probably won't poke him all that much but he won't do anything to you either. Farm and dodge his Q's. Don't let him get to your tower. Take teleport or barrier.”
Gageowago says “If you somehow run into a Ziggs just dodge his skillshots the best you can and land your charm to win trades. He's a pretty bad champ so you shouldn't have that much trouble.”
Lil Tidepod says “If you dodge all of his abilities, or the majority of them, Ziggs is useless. He does outrange you, but you should be able to play around his abilities. If you're gonna trade, wait for his knockup bomb to go down, or his AOE slow bombs. Beware when recalling after level 6, because he won't hesitate to ult you.”
Capparelli says “Surprisingly hard, at least for me, i usually end up with a Hexdrinker because he just spams Q, he is very easy to kill but hard to get on top of, you cant roam much because Ziggs will just blow up your tower so only roam after he backs or you kill him”
RockitoAhri says “Ziggs is pretty straight forward. You need to do THREE things. Do not stay near minions, play parallel of the minion wave so you can always throw an auto attack or a Q at him, you have to be aggressive Vs. Ziggs. And last. WARD. You are playing forward on a matchup you have lane advantage in. WARD, because you WILL get ganked. ”
Sloyr says “All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
Yas Yasu Yasuo says “His range is annoying, just keep dodging his bombs. When you ult him, he can knock himself and you away from each other, so use the same combo as you fight against Ahri and get Hexdrinker when behind. If you get ahead it is easy for you to snowball while he can't really snow ball you when you're behind as long as you play properly.”
ekkologix says “Easy Matchup , Max E and build early CDR ,Be Agressive.
A good ziggs will use his w against your E , having lower cdr gives u advantage,Roam when he undertower.”
8wolf says “His range and poke damage is pretty similar to Azir's. This lane will most probably be decided by who gets caught out of position first. Try to farm and look for mistakes.”
MrRiots says “Starting Item: Dark seal + Potion
Ziggs good, but is he that good?
Watch out for Q and E.
Poke and Harass,. If he uses hes W go all in. Otherwise, just go all in all the time. Small amount of HP on this one.”
Tehqo says “This guy also outranges you pretty hard. It's annoying but it is easy to dodge. If you can all in on him when he uses his abilities, he's easy. Don't let yourself get outpoked too hard.”
NebuIa says “His poke is really annoying but he's kind of harmless. Not much else to say, a pretty standard matchup. I take base aery and ignite/barrier.”
TheBlueImperial says “Heavy poke lane but has mana issues and incredibly squishy. If you full combo them they're dead and you have the option to roam.”
cobbzy says “The biggest thing about ziggs is his poke, make sure to dodge his Q when you can. He is squishy so if you can catch him in an all in the kill is practically yours. It is hard to engage when his W and E are up so make sure to fight when he is on cooldown. Otherwise, go roam the map for kills and apply pressure elsewhere. ”
arcticmonk says “Concede minions in first 2 levels. Dodge his bombs and stay healthy for a lvl 3 trade. If he uses too much mana to push the wave he will go OOM then all-in him.”
i am a heron says “similar to morgana, ziggs will play outside your range, have you pushed to tower and will blast it down in no time. however, his spells will be easier for you to dodge than, say, those of velkoz.”
LONERlSM says “Farm lane make sure that you dodge his q and recall when the wave is crashed in the mid or in his turret. Allowing ziggs to get mid lane tower is bad for you if mid stays past 17 minutes you did your job against this matchup.”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite/TP matchup.
Exact same thing as other mages. Except instead of focusing on harass, focus on waveclear/shoving. Ziggs takes towers hella fast, so don't let him near it. Otherwise, kinda easy shuffle ganks, but he can E out if he's good enough. W Q AA spam him, stand behind minions so his Q doesn't hit.”
Mid Win Repeat says “He can poke you from the safety of his wave but he can't really kill you but if you land your W onto him you can kill him. A lot of the times though you land your W-E-Q combo and than he just W's away with low health. Thats fine just shove the wave base and reset.”
HeisendongNA says “Xerath and Ziggs outrange Heimerdinger and they have enough long range waveclear to kill turrets from afar. The best thing to do in these match-ups is max W instead of Q. Make sure to get boots early so you can dodge their skillshots and hit them easier”
Tayna says “Another "will poke you to death", he has 1 (one) ability to run away from u and it has a long cd, abuse that. Go all in with your ult if he wasted skills in poking. DODGE, FOR GOD'S SAKE, DODGEEEEE.”
Garybaldo says “Rarely seen nowadays, however he's a pain in the ass to play against, great disengage, much more poke and push potential, you can't match his global ultimate, only pray you can get one good all in into him and you might take him down”
Novok says “Ziggs is pretty straight forward. You need to do THREE things. Do not stay near minions, play parallel of the minion wave so you can always throw an auto attack or a Q at him, you have to be aggressive Vs. Ziggs. And last. WARD. You are playing forward on a matchup you have lane advantage in. WARD, because you WILL get ganked.”
worddog says “Skill dependant matchup, if he uses his W properly he should be able to stop you from going all in on him. His disengage is on a longer CD than your engage so it favours Ekko.”
Tchouvline says “This tiny bomber is a PAIN for Fiddle, he can spam his Q, can cancel your W with his W. This tiny yordle must not be underestimated !”
Euphoric Toaster says “Annoying matchup. Hes able to clear your turrets pretty easily and does a good job at matching your push. Place your turrets away from the wave so he cant hit them and the wave with one Q. He has some mobility/utility with his Satchel Charge so he can be a tiny bit slippery, but isn't too hard to kill with jungle help. Similar to the Xerath matchup but his skillshots are a lot easier to dodge.”
Fox1ne says “Look for a better wave manipulation to out-trade him correctly,he is going clearly for the minions since he knows that you have the upper hand on trading him.”
Vispectra says “Ziggs is a poke-mage and he isn't very meta right now so you won't see him often. He will often harass you like Vel Koz just not as bad since it's fairly simple to dodge his abilities. However don't underestimate this rat's damage. His abilities hurt a LOT and TP is a must unless you want to lose your tower and give him all the plates. Ganks are advised and just a note that if he ults you and you're near the center , 1 R won't be enough to get you out of it if you don't react quick enough.”
unownreality says “if you can dodge the bombs, you should win. Stay away from your minions, however, this will leave you vulnerable to ganks. Try to make sure satchel is on cooldown before you go for a full burst. He can use it to dodge your ultimate. ”
kilgta says “pokes you a lot, you usually have to flash ult to kill him and he can runaway with his bombs. you gonna make every flashes worth it. You have to pop your W after he used his E in order to push the wave, else he will just kill all your voidlings. If he doesnt E your minions when you farm, you are facing a bad Ziggs, work towards trading with him anytimes. Start corrupt pot or sapphire.”
MechaaZero says “He can do some damage here and there, but your all in given that you land everything is much stronger. Pick your engagements and commit to them.”
maplecat21 says “He's annoying but gets outscaled at boots. If he has a brain you can't kill him though, so you have to babysit your tower to keep him from taking it.”
RagexAddict says “Ziggs isn't much of a threat to you in lane, but he can push you in when you're out of lane. His W can also break down low health turrets, so try to push him in as much as possible. Asserting your lane dominance against him is key in this lane matchup.”
Fluctuation says “Against Ziggs it's important to utilize his immobility against him. If he puts down his minefield and moves away from it, punish him. If he misses his Q, punish him. After level 6, be wary of his ult, since you can't really escape it when he's close to you.”
LyndonK9 says “This is pretty much a farm lane. Dodge his Qs and try to wave clear him. Play forward and land your Qs on him, afterwards he is an easy kill.”
SmokeyEggs says “Hard to trade with since W lauches both champions in the opposite direction, and his wave clear and ability to respond to teamfights can be annoying, but his trading in skirmishes is weak so abuse that part and never let him push in.”
BicBee says “Stay away from minions. Ziggs is the strongest when long range. He's the weakest in close range so step forward if you want to harass and bully him. Push lane if you can and roam. Good Ziggs value farm more than solo kills in lane and will just stay safe until they get items for team fights. If your top/bot lane is low post 6 there's a good chance that Ziggs will step out of lane to try and ult them. ”

thedonk says “Don't try to walk up to him to do a Q+W combo. Poke him with W+Q+E or W+Q+R+E. Hurt him with those combos as much as possible. Dodge his Q's and he will try to use his E to knock you away or escape. ”
Dudstrol says “Ziggs é fraco em defesa, mas forte em dano. Se ele gastar skills para farmar vá para cima e cause dano e recue. Só vá quando for matar rápido, pois ele pode muito bem virar e te matar.”
Padrepio says “During lanephase, a lot of his damage came from his passive: care of his empowered AAs. He can R on other lanes to get free kills, tell your teammates when he hit 6 and call every ss.”
Jazzmonkey says “Easy matchup you will be his biggest nightmare. Trade him always if you can play with your crd and masteries and kill him straight away if you reach level 6.”
Eli The Bat says “Harass in the form of BOMBS....
Its easy for him to avoid your full combo with his "E" so.... its not that worth to 1 v 1 him....
Also watch out for his Turret Breaking Potential....”
qasddsa says “Tolerable lane. Run Fleet here with either a Corrupting Potion or Doran's Shield. Don't let him push against you as he can take towers really well and poke you at the same time. As you go into the mid and late game, he becomes relatively irrelevant against you because you can just pop him with Riftwalk stacked. If he doesn't group with his team and decides to split instead, you can either answer him with Riftwalk + Teleport or group and take objectives instead.”
Draczor says “Ziggs is no threat since he probably will only focus on pushing or poking you while keeping a distance from you as he knows that he won't win a trade against you. But you are able to poke him too with your laser. In the early game, pressure him enough so that he won't be able to farm unless he uses spells. Naturally, if he comes close poke him with Q and E otherwise try to kill him if you have ult and he has no means of running away fast. If he is low enough do not be afraid to Flash and use your combo to kill him.”
Sozzoh says “Ziggs isn't that hard to play against, but he does outrange you. Since his abilities are fairly easy to dodge, you can all-in him and kill him if he uses all his abilities trying to poke you. Abuse him early game if he uses his abilities to farm. That way he'll be out of mana and low on health. ”
AQRC Turtle says “Stay away from your minions wave to avoid the Aoe dmg of his bomb. You can try timing your ult when ziggs ult to avoid the dmg. Once you hit lvl 6 hes vulnerable to your all in. ”
Smol Jelly says “Ziggs has long range poke, annoying AOE abilities, and better turret-taking abilities than you do. However, since you both have long range, his skills are pretty slow, so you can see them coming from a mile away. With no hard CC, he can't lock you down, and you have no dash so you don't really have to worry about his AoE minefield. Poke him out, and it should go your way.”

Tips Against Ziggs in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
DoublefeedOP says “Ziggs isn't a threat at all, his only threat is his amazing waveclear. He's pretty much going to be matching you and you'll outscale him later because you're playing an ADC. Use your mid-game powerspike to edge your lead over him and win the game!”
Chaeha says “Ziggs greatly outranges Kai'Sa, but not as hard as the other ap bot laners as it's easier to dodge these skillshots in my opinion. However, it might be necessary to take Magic Resist runes against ziggs bot.”
DoublefeedOP says “He will output a ton of pressure permapushing the wave, there isn't much you can do so just take it and hope your jungler comes. Since he outranges you, you can try a cheeky flash E into a wall for an engage.”
DoublefeedOP says “If you all in him, he can just W beneath himself and make your trades worthless. Be very careful when you go in and only go in if you have him CC'd or can dodge his abilities.”
Doody_tco says “He will deal damage with his abilites and poke Miss Fortune to death, even when trying to escape his abilities and reach closer to him, he can escape and save himself”
Shouryuu Reppa says “Eto buwisit talaga 'to kapag 'to yung ginamit na support ng kalaban, ang hirap makalapit, chachane-chane-in ka lang ng skill nya, lakas pa bumawas..”
yers says “Spammy artillery mage, but his abilities are relatively easy to avoid. Going off of a long range E stun will greatly help you set up a combo.”
NMFO says “Ziggs can zone you out with his bouncing bomb very well, and his trap bombs can be placed in ways that make it difficult to find angles from. ”
