## How to play against Ziggs

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Mirror his side of the wave so minions do not block your pressure after his Q.

- Step forward after he spends Q on the wave; his self-defense drops until it returns.

- Force rotations through side lanes after clearing waves, because he wants stalled mid sieges.

- Dodge sideways around objectives and avoid standing on the wave he is trying to clear.

- Start Baron or Elder only after pushing him off vision; free Q and R poke can stop the setup.

## Where Ziggs is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Ziggs needs distance and wave control, so hard engage turns his artillery range into poor self-defense.

- Ziggs' siege pressure is skillshot-heavy and predictable, making fast flanks and side entries break his setup.
