I was gonna do the math, but someone else already has.

at level 18, ziggs' passive is 160+50% AP (doubled if against structures). In this case, this resolves to 320 + 100% AP magic damage, which is 1021 magic damage. Against turrets, you deal base attack damage + most of (bonus AD or 50%AP) In this case, this resolves to BASE AD + 50% AP = 107 +350.5 = 457.5 magic damage Lich bane is 50%AP + 75% base AD as magic damage, which resolves to 350.5 + 80.25 = 430.75 magic damage QT also has double edged sword mastery, which ads 5% to all his damage. Finally penetration now applies to turrets. This turret had 48MR, QT has void staff and sorc boots, as well as the piercing thoughts mastery (7% bonus penetration). This amounts to 34.026 penetration against this turret, which is left with 13.974 MR to evaluate the damage If you watch the video, there is also true damage (572), so I'm guessing there are some mountain drakes involved here. TOTAL MAGIC DAMAGE before resistances general formula for ziggs with this build : (320+200%AP + 175% BASE AD)*1.05, which translates to: (1021+457.5+430.75)*1.05 = 2004.7 MAGIC DAMAGE after resistances 2004.7/1.13974 = 1759

also, this isn't anything new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WayGetIpkWo

He's been able to obliterate towers for a long time. It's only becoming a problem now because someone popular played him, and now everyone knows how busted it is.

Would item 3115 be any good?

Ziggs was full build, and his passive does double damage to towers (~1200 damage). His W, which is also his escape tool, executes towers under 35% health.

lichbane passive damage + his own passive damage + 50% of his ap on the auto attack against the turret. followed by satchel charge, which can execute turrets below 35% health at rank 5.
