Doubt an afterthought would get a 1350 skin and chromas...

You think he really fits in with the theme though? I mean, he wasn't in the teaser video. He doesn't get a border. He isn't technically a crew member.

And, have you played him in Odyssey Extraction? He feels super weak compared to everyone else. I don't really feel like his kit even fits the game mode.

He is a poke / siege mage.

I honestly think it would have made more sense for them to have made Heimerdinger fill in this role. I think his Augments would have made more sense too.

You play him as a healer and he's better than Sona while having AoE damage

Look I nearly have the same damage as everyone else and healed almost thrice as much as Sona

They probably wanted someone more analogous to a Rocket Raccoon type of character and Ziggs fits that bill more than Heimer does. Definitely feels like an afterthought compared to the rest of them though.

They got the voice about as close to rocket at they couldve tho, so i gotta give em that.

Ziggs gets the third highest amount of fresh voice lines and is the reason we are stranded and fighting monsters.

His skin and border are locked behind hard mode achievements.

The trailer made the story seem to be about Sona. But the actual game is about ziggs.

The sona set up almost seems to be part of episode 2 after ziggs is rescued and kayn is picking up the pieces of his failure and vowing revenge

kayn wants vengance because of some ora bullshit he needs sona, sona sets up kayn, ziggs sets up gamemode

FYI a lot of less popular champions will get "afterthought" skins because bean counters dictate they shouldnt waste too much time/resources because they are less likely to sell.

Odyssey Ziggs is the same to Odyssey Yas and Jinx as Cowboy Urgot was to Cowboy Lucian and Thresh or SG Poppy was to SG Lux and Jinx
