Ziggs in ARAM
I’ve played many ARAM games, thousands, probably more games than on summoners rift, and have played for around 3 ish years of ARAM.
From all my games, the most broken champion (imo) is Ziggs. In the Howling Abyss, there are powerhouses like veigar or master yo but ziggs takes the cake. Here are a few reasons why:
Massive damage- In all of my games, ziggs ends up doing the most damage every match, if not the most always up there. It doesn’t really matter how long the game lasts, he just does so much. Also, this damage is ALL AOE. Every one of his abilities does massive aoe damage it’s insane.
Range- his q bounces far, and all of his abilities can be thrown from very far away to wipe out enemy backline. His ult is semi global, almost global on ARAM and it does over 1 k damage. A fight is easily won with his ult that is the size of the whole lane.
Pressure- His empowered auto does so much damage to towers. Especially if you build lich bane, you can melt enemy tower before they even touch yours. AND his w makes it so it’s instantly destroyed at a certain % of health left depending on the level! In addition to this his waveclear is insane because of all the splash damage.
Safety- this ties with range. He has his e aoe slow and w knockup, so even if someone manages to get close to him, they are immediately disrupted. Or he can simply knock himself away from big ults like Ashe arrow as an example. He can also cancel channels with this! (Fiddle starts channeling, one w and he’s waiting another 2 minutes). These abilities only come to use defensively when someone can blink to him or hook him because there’s is no way someone will get to him. Because of his range he is almost always safe while dishing out so much damage in fights.
And his cooldowns are extremely low. His q, lets say does 300 damage, which usually is more, and it is on like a 4 second cooldown. He just spams this over And over with not much of a mana problem, like Xerath.
It is extremely rare when the team with the ziggs does not win, and if they lose he goes down with the most damage.
Even for me, when I get ziggs I know the chance of me winning the game is over 80%.
I love ziggs, but he is ridiculous in ARAM. I understand he hasn’t been changed because it’s ARAM and all, but this is my little rant from an avid ARAM player
