Ziggs is a poke mage who wants to zone with Bouncing Bomb, but Caitlyn's leading auto range and Headshot let her step up and punish him between Q cooldowns. He is squishy and only has Satchel Charge for mobility, so Caitlyn threatens trap-net all-ins whenever he uses Q on the wave. She should weave in autos rather than sit passively eating poke.
