Ziggs

Was just wondering if we were ever gonna see ziggs buffs at least anytime soon? He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth since like S4, If you even attempt to play him in queue, if your laning opponent even has the slightest of MR you do the smallest amount of damage. Even without MR he is so weak right now. With all these mage buffs it would be nice to not have him left out, because seeing the same counter matchups midlane is starting to get extremely repetitive. I feel like just by nerfing currently good champs and not even attempting to touch out-of-meta ones that could actually balance out games instead of having to nerf into the ground cough Lux cough it could prove to bring decent fights in-game.

We're looking into some low scope work on Ziggs as part of the smaller mage updates also coming mid year. That'll be focused on encouraging riskier play on his part (use of passive to get him closer to danger, more offensive use of W etc) rather than buffing his ability to just clear out minion waves safely from long range.

most likely not, fortunately.

I know as a ziggs player this may be hard to hear, but ziggs is one of those aids champs that isn't allowed to be good to a point he's frequently picked. His play pattern is just unhealthy to the game. If he's ahead he just bullies his opponent relentlessly, and if he's behind he can always ult for CS or to help a lane out. Due to this he just creates, he becomes uninteractive and makes a very unhealthy environment in just about every game he is in. It's not just ziggs, there are many champions that are in similar situations
