Ziggs' Bombs Bouncing TOO High

Mike Teavee·Jul 7, 2015·1 votes·1,194 views

Hi! I've been playing Ziggs since he came out and stuck with him through all of his nerfs and unplayable eras, and I have to say I am glad where he is right now. I am happy to see the mana problems were fixed and he can at least lane in this new season (which Athene's getting buffed back). My only issue is his Q bombs bouncing through enemies.

There are many times where I will toss out a Q that is in a direct path to hit and it bounces "over" them, despite being positioned well and the bomb visually just passing through the enemy.

Will there ever be a fix to this? I know it may not be a "bug" per se, but it does become very aggravating when you toss a Q out for a finisher and it just goes through the enemy.

Will there ever be a small buff/fix to make his bombs not statistically "bounce over" the enemy? I'd appreciate feedback Thanks!

Bombs can only bounce over an enemy on the initial throw, after the first ground contact it should explode anytime it touches an enemy or terrain.

It doesn't, though. If you watch any game with a Ziggs present, bombs can bounce over the enemy. That's why I am not sure whether to classify it as a recurring glitch or ask about height ratios.

If you play Ziggs so much you should know how to position the bomb so it doesn't bounce over them. Also it provides interesting counterplay, I play Ziggs and I actually like it, even though it doesn't work to my advantage.

I appreciate the feedback. But I also know that with him being a skillshot-based champion, there are times where a teamfight can be decided by a bomb. And there is nothing more annoying than tossing a Q onto an enemy carry only to have it "bounce over." Ziggs, being a skillshot champion,, already has a ton of counterplay. Champions like Ezreal, also skillshot-based, do not have problems with their spells "overshooting" a character with no actual height. Personally, I feel like the Q bounce height is moreso a glitch rather than an actual mechanic implemented into the game.

Though easy to aim, it is super slow and very easy to dodge. It does good damage but isn't very dependable unless you land it on the first bounce, which is not the ideal distance for a Ziggs to be from an enemy Champion. I would also Like to see a change to Ziggs Q. To be honest, you don't see Ziggs at championships probably for this reason.
