I mean I don't know what to say besides if you clear the wave,wraiths and their wraiths and harass again and again you will go oom lol.
With chalice you can just hurl bombs at them and make them miss cs along with clearing anything you want.
Besides it makes you fucking hard to kill.

I guess you have your experiences I have mine idk.
I can guarantee you if you do this tho you will never(well almost,you know what I mean) die in lane pretty much,but if you think your way is better than by all means do so.

yes; i did no damage and was useless for 20 minutes because my items couldn't keep up.

why chalice sucks:

1. you could've had a blasting wand with the gold - times where you could instant clear casters with q, they live with a sliver of hp
2. you could've had sorc boots - mpen + ms (which OP prizes so much) servers you so muich better than mana regen and some mr
3. the mr is useless - you're probably dead if you're gonna be trading straight up with an enemy ap, mr or no mr.
4. ziggs has really high ap scaling, rushing ap is so incredibly important on him if he wants to be relevant in fights and keep up with enemy damage

1.It actually doesn't matter because they still live.Meaning you still have to hit them again,it would be very good if you runed and itemized to get to a breaking point where you could one shot them but this way you still have to waste one more round.
2.You get your boots same time as the other ap mid,your still at an advantage without them so yea I guess you could but I like chalice better at lower lvls
3.No its not....I just played a game 10 minutes ago and survived a gragas ult coupled with a alistar gank with 20 hp...It actually makes a lot of difference to have a good amount of mr when a ap caster unloads on you or someone like kassadin is slowly trying to chip you away,not to long ago people were coming to lane with full mr pages,some still do.
4.Ziggs actually has mediocre scale,only his ult has a high scale but only in the primary blast radius which is not that big.

I agree with you that getting as much ap as soon as possible on ziggs is good,but the idea of this is that you keep your lane pushed at all times so it can't roam,he looses cs while you push and harass him,you get immense farm and a decent amount of ap when the teamfights start.

it's not just good it's crucial...

sometimes its just unrealistic to stay and hit them again, for a variety of reasons. their mid roamed bot and you have to instantly clear to follow; their mid went b and you want to shove to roam or go back or whatever; theres a jungler waiting to gank you and you need to instantly clear while staying at tower; etc etc etc.

it's something thats so crucial to mid lane and yet you dismiss it as "it doesnt matter" lol

What I meant was if you get to the point where you one shot the back wave its really good yea,but it doesn't matter right as you buy the staff because they actually still live with like 2 hp meaning you still have to hit them again.It "doesn't matter" tho with a chalice because you can spam your ass off as much as you want and you still wont go oom,your Q has a short as cd so throwing another Q out with a chalice is meaningless for your mana and time.You can insta clear the back row with QE anyway.

Alot of the pro's on Ziggs pick barrier, probably thinking that if you're in range to use ignite you're not playing Ziggs right.
No practical definition of freedom would be complete without the freedom to take the consequences. Indeed it is the freedom on which all others are based.

Not well. He has four abilities and a passive that scale off of AP. Thus building some AP is probably a reasonable idea on him.

Yes, but it won't be that good. He has a self escape/peel in his w and e, but he has pretty much no steroid (attack speed or attack damage), with his only steroid scaling with AP and CDR, not attack speed crit or ad..

You could probably make it work decently, since he has such good tools to keep himself alive, but he will be doing less damage then Caitlyn.

Edit: I'm almost 100% sure that at all stages of the game AP Ziggs does more burst and sustained damage then AD Ziggs, from farther away, so playing AD Ziggs is sub optimal in every case. He is a brokenly strong champion right now, so even if your playing him sub optimally it might be decent, but AP is always better.

I played the best Ziggs game a few days ago, my build went:

Dring > Boots > Dring > Sorcs > Nashor's Tooth > Bloodthirster > Triforce > Last Whisper > Rageblade > holyshitrageblade is the wrost item ever > Sell Rageblade > Frozen Mallet

Sugoi.

+ Show Spoiler +
AD Ziggs only sucks because his AS growth is 2% a level which is below the 3.5%-4% range you find on most ADCs. Those with the 1% - 2.5% range (Jinx and Ezreal mainly) have insane steroids to make up for it. Ziggs' BAT is actually ok, about on par with a lot of the popular ADs, but the poor growth + lack of steroid on any skill makes it completely troll. Doesn't mean you should do it though huehue.

This is my build for ziggs now. I think if ziggs is built right it's nearly impossible to win against him. currently 4-1 on him where my only loss was an absolutely useless jayce on my team that fed a top lee sin. we're talking 3/12 jayce and a 15/3 lee sin. I will be maining ziggs as my mid to climb back to diamond, currently gold 3.

Poke/control ziggs: I believe this is by far the best way to build ziggs
25/0/5 with 4 points into the AD portion of masteries
red: magic pen. yellow: scaling mana regen. blue: scaling AP. quint: 1 flat mana regen and 2 flat AP or movespeed
morello, athenes, sorc boots, zhonyas, deathcap, dfg/other.

This is the build, pretty simple, the biggest difference you'll see is that you are squishy, and you'll have very very high mana regen. The way I play this is to lob my skills all day, and if I can get a very safe auto off I do. Use your ult whenever off cooldown. going 2 dorans into athenes is the best build path for this.

I think having that as an alternate setup when you're going against a team with no engage or just a terrible team comp is useful, but I don't think it's practical to have as your primary setup.
The mana regen yellows from season 2 was when the top 3 mids were karthus, anivia, and orianna. Come season 4, we have to deal with yasuos, talons, vi, rengar, evelynn, etc. There are other champ combos that have enough of a kill potential to kill a ziggs early game.
I don't think using a full setup of mana regen yellows in place of armor or health yellows is worth the risk of getting screwed over early game just so you can spam more bombs.
