Ziggs Matchups

zecastar··2 votes·1,051 views

Hi, I thought Ahri or LB were Ziggs' hardest matchup at 6 but it turns out Kassadin might be it. His passive and Q negate a lot of my poke and he can often dodge my skills with his ult. on a short CD. He also builds a little tanky with RoA and has some sustain with Corrupting Potion + Dark Seal as well. Basically, I can't burst or poke him down but he can do it to me even with his point and click Q.

I've tried Kassadin before and I thought he was fun but in need of buffs. His damage seemed pathetic till mid--late and he got completely shit on in lane by stuff like Viktor or Cas. However, facing him as Ziggs is somehow really hard. Any tips?

Is Kassadin really the hardest matchup like I think or is there something else. I have some issues with Xerath, Syndra, good Yasuos, Morgana and Anivia but it feels more like we both have a chance to outplay. Zed and Diana are similar in that they can murder me but if I'm careful about their ranges, I can avoid dying most times. I'd appreciate any tips on Ziggs' matchups. Who do you find hardest to face?

I think ziggs is very dangerous split pusher, remember mage update, people forgot about what his W can do to our dear towers in this map. His squishy and can be killed by almost any assassins.

I findSyndra and Diana hard to face because of their ultimates.

kassadin is the worst match up for him. indeed. lb is a skill match up but maybe in her favor. ahri is hard as well but doable . Diana is hard. syndra is just hard for everyone mid lane just like ahri. viktor is 50/50 . cass should be easy for you. shes immobile. just spam Q on her and when you got decent mana pool spam E infront of her or on her so she can't walk forwards and E you.

the reason kassadin is the worst match up its because he can simply ult and chunk half your hp. your damage is pretty slow and he can ult over your Q and ult away from your E so not much you can do in that lane tbh.

Ziggs counters are anyone that can get into his face which includes Zed, Leblanc and Kassadin. New Kat is tricky too. Just gotta play like a total wuss and clear from tower or feed.

Some matchups you just need to sit back and clear the waves. Focus your spells on the waves, and if your lucky, they take collateral damage. Just keep Qing the caster minions. Takes like 2 bombs after lvl 1 to kill them. If you really want to spam, get a tear instead of morellos; its really good on him and allows you to spam your E more often than morello's does. So if you are in a wave clear game, it works out better. You can get CDR from zhonyas/abyssal and be like a tanky ziggs. Its not bad just slower scaling. But there are a lot of matchups where you are better off just spamming down the waves instead of trying to duel/hit people with Q. If you keep the waves cleared, it makes it really hard for them to roam around, too.

Yea I would say Kassadin would prob be the hardest match up for Ziggs. Also as an Anivia main, Ziggs is a hard match up for Anivia though in reality It's more like a skill match up but I'd say Ziggs has the advantage in that match up, though if you are having enough trouble with Anivia as a match-up then I could give you tips on how to fight her if you want. Though you don't see Anivia as much anymore, and most people who play her now are probably Anivia mains so in those cases they probably know the ziggs match up well enough to still do fine lol.

Autoattack harass and fight him unrelentlessly until 6. Then you play smarter and more safely and make sure you're just not denied farm. If you want I love playing Ziggs and I'll play him against you so you get an idea of how to be aggressive as Ziggs.

Ziggs is awful in a splitpush because he just gets matched by another champion and then has to play really passively or he'll get jumped on.

You just get your team to go to lanes with you and you will win 3v5 base races past level 13.

Yeah, but he's good if you see 4 bot and are randomly top yourself etc. Basically, he's an opportunistic split-pusher.

No, he's a teamffighter and siege champion. You get a tank to defend you and you mow down turrets, late-game it's auto W with blue pot.
