He was picked because he was good at turtling in base and stalling out games / defending against sieges. With the changes to dragon and baron, he isn't as desirable. If you try to stay in base too long, the enemy just collects 5 dragons and baron and runs you over. Also, baron buff on its own makes Zigg's life hell just because of how hard it makes killing minions. A Zigg's that can't waveclear is near useless. His CC is weak so all he has to rely on is damage and zoning and there are champs that do those jobs better (Viktor, Azir) while not being completely skillshot reliant. Finally, his ult nerfs kind of sucked for him
That's all I got
