I just started playing League a few days ago, but I have been watching my brothers play it for years. I always wanted to play ziggs, and when I bought him, I was doing great! Then I started getting into higher skill matches and I started to falter.

So I decided to look for a Ziggs guide and this is what came up! And I have to say, it helps clarify Ziggs role a lot! One to many times would I try to play against an enemy AD and lose. Now I know what to do!

Hello,
Are you planning to do a guide of Ziggs ADC ? Thanks for answering.

Re4XN (59) | November 19, 2017 4:16am
No. It is a niche pick that has fallen out of flavour already. The whole point of Ziggs ADC was to push the first tower and then rotate around the map to share your gold lead, forcing more sieges and team fights, areas he excels at. He could easily outpace the enemy ADC who required a lot of time to scale.

Riot then buffed AD items, making such a niche pick unnecessary, since you could now achieve the same goal with ADCs, who no longer sucked.

Ziggs ADC is perfectly playable still, but he was nothing but a stepping stone in the meta.

Domination or even Precision are both very solid secondary choices. As I said in the guide, the Rune Paths are very versatile.

i changed out minion Dematerializer for boots... still worked ok :)

Yeah, as I said in the guide, the Rune paths are pretty flexible. I personally like to buy boots very early in the game due to Ziggs' lack of mobility, but if you managed without them for 10 minutes I see no issues :P

i tried these masteries and they worked perfectly but I have a question about the defensive items , against which champion should i pick (zhonya , banshee , or lich bane? )

Re4XN (59) | October 23, 2017 8:19am
Hey there, thank for the +1!

First of all, Lich Bane is not a defensive item, it's a situational one that greatly increases Ziggs' damage output not only against champions, but mainly against structures (towers, inhibitors, ...).

Regarding Zhonya's Hourglass, it is pretty much mandatory when you're facing heavy AD. If you are laning against Zed, seriously consider rushing Seeker's Armguard to counter his damage output. By the time you reach Level 6, his kill potential will be (partially) denied and you'll be able to live to fight another day.

Banshee's Veil is usually only ever needed in one of two situations:

  1. Your AP laner has a very strong burst ( LeBlanc for instance) and you are having trouble dodging her skill-shots. Banshee's will ensure you survive her burst.
  2. The enemy team has a critical ability you absolutely need to dodge, like Vi's Cease and Desist or Gangplank's Powder Keg.

I hope this helped!

Yeah, it tends to catch people off-guard! Rex isn't accepted in most websites and several variations had been taken, so this is what I came up with.

Weird names aside, what do you think of the guide? ^^

Well it's on the front page, so it can't be that bad. ;)

I'll give you a real quick review:

Cheatsheet looks good. You have the standard mid setup and all your items are appropriate for Ziggs. I feel like Ziggs players generally max W second now for the turret pressure but I don't play the champion enough to say for certain. Actually I don't see anything about the skill order at all, so unless I missed it, that's probably something to add.

Layout-wise the guide is well organized and well-presented. Graphics and tables are all appropriate and not distracting. If there's one criticism I have here, it's that your gameplay section could use some screenshots, gifs or videos to break up the text a bit more. Admittedly, I should do the same for my guides as well. :P

Matchups section looks nice, though obviously you could use some expansion there as you only have two matchups currently. I'd recommend Cleanse against Veigar to be able to escape the cage if you don't have Flash. Ignite against Karthus also seems rather pointless as you can kill him or force him out of lane without it. Better to run a defensive summoner.

Overall pretty solid stuff but you have plenty of room for additions and improvement as well.

Good morning, earlier today, you requested a review from my review service, found here

Attached below is a link to a marked up PDF of your guide, that has my comments attached to it


You'll find most of my feedback attached to that PDF, but I'll add some general remarks here:
Perhaps I'm getting jaded as a reviewer who looks for content heavily over aesthetics. Don't take this the wrong way, but when I was looking over your guide, it felt like there was a gratuitous amount of space used for the gameplay section. I think that you can replace the webmv's with much more informative gifs, such as the "splash range" of bouncing bomb, or a 'best case scenario use' of satchel charge.

I noticed a change in attitude (not a bad thing, btw) that occurred almost suddenly in the guide. This change started to manifest around the early items section, and was in full swing by the time you got to early game.
I think that once you moved to a more casual tone - again, this is my opinion, the guide was easier to read

Also, your early game section + onwards needs to be spaced out a little bit more with pictures, gifs, or videos.

The guide's not quite ready for a +scout yet, but certainly good enough for my upvekh. As always, I hope you got something out of my review; If you thought my review helped improve your guide, a +rep means a lot to me! :)

Thanks for your time
~Michael

First of all, wow! That was incredibly fast. I was expecting your review to arrive sometime next week!

Good idea! Didn't really consider it. It's going to take a while though, I can only record high quality videos during Winter. My PC is somewhat old and the FPS is super low if I play League and use OBS at the same time due to the heat outside and inside the house. That's one of the main reasons my YT channel kind of died (not that it ever lived TBH).

Yeah, I wrote the core of the guide in two day. My mood drastically changed from night to day and I think it reflects on the guide. I might change the first half a little bit to more smoothly transition to my 'natural language' :P

Wasn't really expecting one this early. The guide is far from finished!

Thank you very much! I did get things out of your review and it does help, have some +rep for your time!

A very brief reply to your comments on the PDF - i'm on mobile atm so i'm going to keep my reply short.

| * Caster/Melee. Are you referring to throwing Bounicng Bombs at minions in order to hit the enemy champions?

Yes!

| * What's a VOD?

It's my way of saying video without being repetitive :P
