How to Play
- Poke before objective: 2-3 E>Q cycles are enough to win a 5v5 without taking it.
- W guard to fend off an assassin rather than scrape up VPs.
- Siege = angles: shoot behind wall/bush to reduce dodging.
- Push-and-pull: push the wave then play fog; punishes any step forward.
- Don't waste R on a single tank: look for the backline or a finisher.
- On dragons, cover accesses with E then aim for a zone R.
Playing Against
- Avoid choke points: move aside to limit E+R.
- Buy sails/stasis to break its remote kill window.
- Gank from the side angle: Ziggs has no dash.
- Punish his mana windows: without Q/E, he has no priority.
- Stay behind the minions to limit straight-line Qs.
