Ziggs adc

SnakDatSmilesBak·Jan 9, 2017·4 votes·1,383 views

If Ziggs is allowed to begin the game by doing what adcs do better than adcs (in terms of taking towers at least) do it then why do i pick an adc and try to waveclear desperately only to have ziggs take my tower anyways and then take the rest of them? Say if i pick ashe as adc what do i do after the enemy team picks ziggs and takes him bot? I've never had a problem like this before where one champ makes so many of my preferred adcs useless. Assume im talking about solo queue. Tips to deal with ziggs are appreciated.

You lose towers to him.

You win teamfights against him.

That's how you play that matchup. Just like any other unfavorable or so on and so forth matchup. He has pros in some areas, cons in others. His sustained damage is way lower than someone like Vayne or Caitlyn, so being able to hold out until later when you can kill his tanks and lifesteal through his damage is precisely what you should do.

Sivir is your best bet, she can stall his push with her push.

Caitlin is also decent if you dodge his bombs, and use Q to wave clear.

Sivir should crush him in lane. You can block a lot of his damage and push waves just as fast with less mana problems. Jinx should do decently, especially if you build a Tear. Sounds weird, but it'd be a nice cheap way to keep yourself from losing the tower quite so soon. Definitely not something you'd want to do every game, but if the situation calls for it, by all means, might as well.

Varus should do well if you run the mid-Varus build and just Q+E every minion wave.

Kinda sucks, TBH. If he's taking a turret and you're team fighting 4 vs 5 he can still throw his ultimate if he's close enough.

It's really strong the only form of countering is having a strong splitpusher chase him down-- Like Yi or Vi as they both have ways to mitigate or even avoid damage.
