Playing against Ziggs
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Gap-close on Ziggs: he's squishy and his only disengage is W (which also propels him).
2
His W is his only mobility tool — once used, he's very vulnerable.
3
All his abilities are AoE skillshots: move constantly to dodge.
4
His R center deals more damage — get out of the center of the circle even if you can't dodge entirely.
