i never understood this concept. i get why melee gets scaling MR per level as a sort of counterplay but botlane ziggs (since he's prominently played there) gets armor, naturally countering ADCs while retaliating with the MR penetration runes and empowered auto doing magic damage. there is little room for retaliation as ADCs since ziggs pokes you down and ults if you close in on him
fuffychan1 votesHas nothing to do with Zigs. Everyone gets free armor, and ADCs and mages (including Zigs) dont get MR.

DrCyanide1 votesEvery champion gets AD for free, then gets more free AD with each level.
Only one champion gets AP per level, that's Viktor, and it comes from his passive/item.
The scaling defensive stat directly matches the scaling offensive one, so if you want scaling MR then you should ask Riot to give Ziggs and other mages base AP and AP per level.
The Last Ballad1 votesHave you considered the fact that it Ziggs was created for the mid lane, and not bot? Or the fact that Adc's also get ar per level? It's not a double standard just because there is a champ down there that does a different damage type. Case and point .
NodirjonSattarov1 voteshalf his dmg gets converted to magic dmg. and he still relies on autoing whereas ziggs doesn't neccessarily need to auto once he gets lost chapter
The Last Ballad1 votesAnd yet, he still does mostly magic damage, which still taps into the problem that you touched on. Your issue was not that Ziggs didn't have to auto, it was that bot lane had no natural scaling against his damage, and he has mpen. Same with Corki.
Stay on topic.
