What happened to Ziggs "ADC"
Basically title^ Just curious. Wasn't nerfed or anything. Was it just Botrk coming back because that seems about the time Ziggs checked back out.

Hes still here, just not played as much
That is a great question I have NO idea where it went. Maybe because of the locket changes where flat burst like Ziggs could be countered easily pushed him out of the meta?
The main reasons he got picked (good early poke and pushing) became less of an advantage with the changes in the meta around him. Lethality meta had champs like Varus with poke and waveclear and the return of marksmen that can stand far enough back to not be oppressed by the poke. The return of BoRK gives marksmen better ability to sustain through the poke.
I think there's also some element of people just being used to marksmen bot, so they kept with comfort rather than developing a decent but not overpowered pick.
He's not completely gone in the pro scene, at least. He showed up to good success in the TSM v GAM series today.
I personally still find success with him, but I only play him mid. If you have an otherwise all physical damage team, he could probably still be played bot if you wanted to.
