Hey guys, just wondering here.... but is Ziggs viable in competitive play?

The only time I remember seeing him was with Alex Ich. I don´t remember what tournament that was, but he did pretty good. He does a lot of damage, but seems to die so easily, especially in late game.

Thx for the answers


I think he could be viable. He has very strong, spammable damage with his Q, and good zone control with W and E. He doesn't have much for escape, but he's a hell of a lot of fun. My Ziggs is awful, but if I were to really sit down and spam out games with him, I think he could be useful.

Also, his full burst combo is retarded if he gets it off.


I wish they nerfed the damage on his bombs instead of the slow.

He woulda been such a cool champion. Now he just feels like all damage with a bit of Poke.


Ehhhhhh idk, the slow was a little ridiculous. The combo of damage/slow was definitely over the top, but I know where you're coming from.

I do agree, the slow was a touch obnoxious. I think it would be cool if they kept the damage on his mines the same in every level and just increased the slow portion on it would be cool too.

He kinda like Xerath, imo. Really stale gameplay and no guaranteed damage.

I think he's FAR more fun than Xerath. Xerath's damage isn't really that difficult to land. That's what makes Ziggs fun - you need to know how to land his shit to do well with him. I've seen some really terror Ziggs just tear me apart.

Now I want to figure him out...

It's highly likely that I just suck with him, but I have massive mana problems on Ziggs regardless if it's early/mid/late game. So much of his damage is off of his Q bombs and the mana costs on that is pretty darn high.

ziggs is pretty good, just no one wants to take the time to play him
regi used him on release, when he was OP, but at the slightest nerf everyone dropped him
he's pretty straightforward - build damage, hit skillshots, win the game
when we see games shifting to hyper-lategame-snoozefests as triggered by froggen's anivia, ziggs will see a greater role, because 4 high-damage aoe nukes make ziggs impossible to push on

Except, just what Ryuu just said, his mana costs are pretty prohibitive. As much as I hate having to get Tear on champs, it might be a good buy on him. Maybe something like Boots - Tear - Dcap - AA staff.

Idk, as I said, I'll have to play around with him a little bit.

Just looked Ziggs up. At max level, his Q bomb costs 100 mana on a 4 second cd, which is pretty damn ridiculous considering his base mana at level 18 is 1150 (with no items). So basically Ziggs can get off ~12 Qs before going completely oom assuming he uses no other spells. In poke scenarios he gets pretty darn screwed as 4-5 Qs can eat basically half his mana pool.

Blue buff definitely helps, but with how aggressively and how well competitive teams are about controlling and contesting buffs, a champion that's that reliant on blue is severely hindered.

So do you max E, or still max Q for "burst" and MS (chasing, fleeing ganks...) while E is spammed for said mana efficiency?


When I play malph I usually max Q first and E second, without taking a point in W. Q I find makes more sense to max, even if it costs more mana. Firstly, it's ranged, its effects will be much more important in a gank, it helps you gain more ms.

Also, a bit off topic, but I was reading through gameplay guides from lolpro, and I find a lot of the guides to be pretty helpful and very informative. As a general question, why doesn't Riot have any ties to any of these sites which really get in depth about how to play? Some links to see on the client or something like that, could be really helpful for the new and mid-ranged players.


its a shame... lolpro was pretty ambitious, to have a guide for every champion for every viable role competitively. It is missing a lot though. I think they are missing top lane warwick, top lane panth, kayle as a carry or bruiser or jungler (she can do all pretty damn well), etc.

by the time they get these things out, everything will already be out of date probably.

It used to be accessible but Riot killed the method used to access it (which I'm pretty sure worked on all servers). All there is now is rough estimates on various sites that aren't terribly accurate.

by the time they get these things out, everything will already be out of date probably.

If you understand enough about the game, you shouldn't need guides. I know kayle's cooldown on her E, how much damage she does (experience), what her skills do, and her weaknesses in lane. From that I know how to deal with her as any champion (and yes, some champs will just have to tower hug, try to get the lane to push, and wait for ganks). I know her clear speed and how little she relies on buffs, so I also know when she can gank. I know her common item builds and where most of her damage comes from, so I know how to counter a kayle that I meet, as well as what the advantages and disadvantages of building certain items on her are.

Studying guides is like studying past exams. You memorize the steps, but don't understand how to solve the problem.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Did they get rid of Blind Pick for Summoner's Rift, or is my client just being weird? I don't remember reading about it in the patch notes.

So I have been in the que forever and it won't let me quit because it says a match is imminent. Will I get a dodge and loss of elo if I quit the client?

NA servers are completely fucked at the moment so no, you probably won't get a dodge or loss of elo if you quit client (if you try reconnecting though it'll bring you to the "Reconnect to Game" button and you won't be able to play anyway).
