Ziggs

Few mid laners project power across the map quite like Ziggs. As a low-difficulty artillery mage, he controls the lane by seeding it with explosives and pushing opponents into fights on his own timing. Bouncing Bomb is the core of his damage: a lobbed projectile that ricochets, letting him harass over minion waves and around corners. Short Fuse adds bonus magic damage to his next basic attack on a timer, and casting abilities shortens that timer.

Satchel Charge is the most inventive part of the kit. The explosive can be set to go off after a delay or detonated by hand, knocking enemies back while sending Ziggs himself away from danger without taking damage. Because it works as a disengage, a wall-hop, and a repositioning tool, it gives a champion with little natural mobility a real way out. Hexplosive Minefield lays proximity mines that deal damage and slow anything crossing them, letting him hold chokepoints and pull divers off his carries during teamfights.

Siege and objective pressure

Mega Inferno Bomb is what makes him dangerous in teamfights and during sieges. Its range is enormous, and it hits hardest at the center of the blast, so grouped enemies take the worst of it. Paired with his passive, which lets his auto attacks chew through towers quickly, Ziggs is at his best when sieging, clearing waves, and breaking open stalled games from far away.

His weaknesses come from the same design. Nearly all of his meaningful damage is skillshot-based, so mobile champions who sidestep bombs or dive onto him can punish him, and Satchel Charge is his only real panic button. Ziggs is a good fit for players who like long-range area denial, patient siege play, and making whole regions of the map feel unsafe to stand in.
