Ziggs main here
Everytime I land my kobe shots the enemy ff 🤣

Ziggs main here.
- First of all i love that all of his abilities are skillshots, it's more interesting than targeted abilities.
- I also hate playing combo champs. It feels a little constraining being more or less forced to use a specific combo.
- Him being a poke champion makes him more forgiving of mistakes. If you fuck up a combo, that's it. If i fuck up a Q it's no big deal.
- He has a pretty ok and especially safe waveclear with his Q.
- He's a turret destroyer. It's so much fun quickly taking down a tower when the enemy mid laner makes the mistake to leave lane. Also very helpful in endgame pushing.
- He's a yordle.

I think the coolest thing about ziggs is when someone thinks they can jump on you and you mash all your buttons on top of yourself and they get one shot while thinking they were going to one shot you

[GoldenBerry]

The fact that no one is scared of me as Ziggs makes me happy. When they underestimate you, that's the sweet moment when you prove them wrong and punish everything. I love this kind of champs that seem so ...mehhh. The surprise factor is the treat for their mains.

As a former Ziggs one trick I can confirm he is perfectly fine. A balanced, fair champ with a specific and satisfying gameplay and niche. The problem is the whole game around him does not seem to follow the same principles and Riot has made it clear that they do not care about fairness or diversity of gameplay when laser-focusing on fast gameplay, flashy mechanics and accesible outplay potential has proved to be far more monetarily rewarding.

nowadays playing any champion that would rather be far away from the enemy than close up just feels like more trouble than it's worth because every modern champion and their dog has 47 milloin gap closers in their kit not to mention the new items only made things worse)

[splitcryptic]

"Too fair" is actually why I main him as it alleviates conflict from teammates and sometimes enemies.

An example is after a failed teamfight, so long as I did what I could, I rarely get blamed for anything. My team can't overestimate me as Ziggs, but they can't underestimate me as well. I get to be as reliable as I can be, and no one is ever against it.

The same can be said for the enemy. Sort of. Ziggs does more often gets underestimated and rightly so apparently, but that also can be a good thing. More often than not, enemies actually tend to forget he is around whenever in a teamfight, letting him do his thing staying safe in the background.

I agree with the passive, that thing is really conflicting. All of Ziggs' abilities far outranges his auto attack range, so it barely ever gets used besides turrets and minions.

[RAWRluver]

What I want is for his abilities to land faster. That's it. It honestly its all he need.

[Fewchore]

As a Ziggs main, I really wish more people would pick him up. It might be hard to hit his skillshots, but he's fun once you get used to him :)

[brendanbush]

As a Ziggs player, I find a few good things about his kit and gameplay:
1. He scales incredibly well, even if he isn’t crazy fed. If someone can play him well enough to stay safe, he is a great team fighter.
2. His cool downs are incredibly low from mid to late game, especially his Q. He can constantly harass enemies as games progress.
3. His W is such a good disruption for many enemies. He can roam and help in jungle fights, and he can peel for teammates rather well.
Note: these are all what I like about him as a main. Great video btw :)

[imainyordles]

I think what makes Ziggs special is the fact that nobody expects nothing from you, neither your team or the enemy, wich makes things waaaay easier when you one-shot the enemy AD Carry with a Q, or when you stole a Dragon from the Jungler who had no idea you were even there in first place
I think is the simplicity and balance what makes Ziggs something of a "Jack of all trades" for every situation you have.
But hey, that's just my opinion though.

[AvatarRoku]

ok so... gonna need you to stop going through all my picks and making 'why no one plays' vids on them

[bleggman]

bro idk how you only have 23k subs. your channel really feels like a 200k-500k sub channel.

[thomkalsbeek]

the thing that makes ziggs so unpopular is the same thing that makes him so powerful. everything he does seems so underwelming at first, but when you master him you see that he actually has a LOOOT of hidden tricks you can use. for example:
- his q has one of the biggest ranges on a basic ability in the entire game. even if your against an opponent that can gap close from an entire screen away (wich is all the time) your range is so immense that you can still easily CS and even push the lane while spamming Q
- his W is maybe the best ability in his kit because of the versatility, when used correctly your basically ungankable by immediately throwing yourself under tower. it can create gaps, it can knock fleeing enemies back it can interrupt enemies (especially fun against an enemy nunu) and ofc it executes towers.
- the minefield again seems underwhelming but because its damge is split between each mine, people ALWAYS understimate its damage ánd they get slowed wich means your Q will hit them way more. it can completely lock down escapes or engages in chokepoint or forces them to go in with at least 30% less health
- his passive is insane late game. ziggs can push towers faster than his entire team, on his own. if any turret is left alone, regardless wether its full health or not, you just hit a passive, throw Q and E for the oncoming wave, hit another passive and the W, you can take a full health turret in less than 5 seconds.
- his ult is ofc very nice for burst and executing enemies, but is also nice for pushing. oh youve slow pushed 2, 5 waves worth of minion, well thank you for the free gold :)

if you take TP instead of ignite, focus on playing safe early game, tunnel vision every weak turret there is regardless of possible danger you can take a champ that is very undertuned for todays standards and absolutely demolish objectives. you could lose a lane against an akali one-trick, being 1/5/0 and STILL win lane because of his insane waveclear and frankly top tier turret destruction

and all of this is hidden cuz you would only notice these things if you decide to play a champ whose ability description only says 'he do damage, but from far away :O'.

[Shieldzee]

I love ziggs! He's the most fun champion imo! He does enough damage, has a fun mechanic that lets you throw bombs easily, and he has major cc! He controls the battlefield until someone steps near him which is why he is a great team fighter rather than a great dueler. I think his abilities do go with each other since his e can slow down targets and make it easier to hit them with a q or a w but you can also throw your w first then e and bombard them with q. He's the best glass canon a player could ask for!!
(P.S. the ultimate steals feel so good when you land them)

[daktotathecolossus]

Artillery mages are my fav kind of champ tbh, its so fun one shotting people from far away.

[everything-has-a-handle-now]

Old video but I've been playing ziggs in the 12.11 patch and he is amazing. The fact that he doesn't how specific combos you need to hit but rather relies on skill shots and reading the enemy makes him perfect for my play style.

[manuelfrutiger]

1 important macanic: you can shove enemy’s into your e with w

[b.guy]

I love ziggs, he’s the only one I play and I wouldn’t change a thing. I love the low play and ban rate, how minions can’t block any ability. I play him not with my brother on Alistair. Good video.

[Doushibag]

I just started playing a few weeks ago and Ziggs was the second champion I unlocked with essence points. He's great and I enjoy playing him a lot. He's definitely my favorite to play and the fact that others don't play him much is all the better for me. I like him better than all the others I've tried so far, only one other even being reasonably close so far. Landing shots can be pretty satisfying too.
