Ziggs Bot lane

Time for a bronze level rant, guys.

I have seen a lot of games lately, where instead of a regular AD carry, you get a bot lane. Now, , as you might know, has a long range, insane late game damage (especially if he snowballs), and his w is a satchel that can execute towers. But most importantly, he is not nearly as squishy as the average ADC. Noticing anything?

He steamrolls. Everything. The only real way, as I've seen, to counter a bot lane, is to play another mid-laner, bot lane. Which, is not a bad idea. But then you get people who will pick bot, or bot, or whoever, before they even see the enemy ADC, just so that they won't have to face a bot as an ADC. This right here, is the issue. Not that is strong. Not that it works, but that it works too well. If AP bot laners becomes the new meta, marksmen will get pushed to the side. After all, every time you see a mid, or a top, she always gets crushed.

If bot is allowed to continue, I can see that marksmen will not just be removed from meta, or moved within the meta, they will become obsolete entirely. Not just how you don't see picks that much anymore. He still does get picked, from time to time. What I'm saying is that if bot lane doesn't stop, Marksmen will NEVER get picked. And that ruins the game for a whole lot of people.

I'm not entirely sure why bot became a thing, but whatever it is, in my opinion, needs removal, nerfing, or tweaking so that bot lane will no longer work.

Some things I have thought, with their subsequent solutions.

1. Tower execute on tower is overpowered. -this one's easy. Remove the execute from the satchel, and done.
2. Absurdly high late game damage -possibly reduce the AP scaling of his Q, bouncing bomb, or increase the Cooldown. At first level, the CD is 4.0s. At level 5, with 40% CDR, it becomes 2.0s, which is a little nuts.
3. Passive, short fuse, every 12 seconds, 's next basic attack deals increased damage. Ability casts reduce CD by 4 seconds. This is pretty self explanatory. Now that I see it, this passive is likely a large reason why bot is so effective.

• remove the lowered CD. -increase duration between empowered basics. -reduce basic attack range. -reduce damage on passive.

I'm not saying ALL of these changes should be implemented, but I think Riot should take a good look at , and see if they can find a way to bring down Bot, without touching mid too much.

There goes my rant, Peace, -Linkasa
