Ziggs is one of my favorite champions. Thematically he's explosive, but he has fallen from grace. Ziggs is stuck in that grey area of champions that are good but never actually get any play time. I blame the meta shifting to favor a much quicker and snowball oriented game play. With these changes, we hope to make him a champion that takes skill and foresight to play correctly. Reworking his passive, W and E but left his iconic Ultimate the same. all this to try make him more viable and consistent to what an explosives expert would have in his arsenal. We wanted to make it so that he would have ways to combo and control his surroundings, while still requiring a great degree of skills when it comes to landing his shots. Landing auto attacks will be more important than ever because they also interact with his abilities: enhancing them in one way or another. He's still a high damage mage, but now he has some tools to better deal with ganks and all ins. We tried to keep his theme in mind when working on this.

We think that these changes would help bring him back into the limelight.

Really hard to say on this one without bias. I am a HUGE fan of Ziggs as he is currently. Every ability on current Ziggs feels good to me and when I read this I don't feel as good about it. Your new passive would require Ziggs to auto attack a lot which is very brutal on him. I like the current passive and its interactions with spell casts. It lets you periodically hit hard, especially with Lich Bane, without making you work super hard all the time for it. Also, reading these abilities I think ZILEAN Q, JIHN W, CORKI E, and a near global ult that requires you to have auto attacked people... which defeats the whole goal of it being a global ult.

If you are going to rework someone, look at what they REALLY need. Take into account the current playstyle of the champion, their strengths and their weaknesses before you go changing too much. Right now Ziggs is a zone control siege caster, but your rework makes him into an auto attack based flaming guy that blows things up... which is too much for me. The only thing I got from this that couuuuld be pretty interesting is leaving flaming trails, but again that's a Corki/Rumble thing.

I blame the meta shifting to favor a much quicker and snowball oriented game play.

Don't change a good champion just because of a meta shift. Every champion needs their time to shine and changing everyone to suit a meta isn't the best course of action. Again, you hit me on a sore spot because I really like the current Ziggs design.

He's still a high damage mage, but now he has some tools to better deal with ganks and all ins.

As a siege mage, Ziggs is supposed to be weak to all ins and ganks, utilizing only his range to prevent these from happening. ALTHOUGH, Ziggs is special in that he has his Satchel Charge, which is a very powerful tool with a high cooldown because it patches his major weakness. You want to be careful giving him any more power in this area because it is a highlighted weakness that is nicely done right now IMO.
