Read from Ziggs's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Corki.
This is Ziggs's own plan; across 912 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Level 1 favours Ziggs because Q outranges Corki's autos and Phosphorus Bomb. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | Level 2 stays Ziggs as Short Fuse and Q chip him every time he farms. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 is Ziggs since your range plus E zoning denies his step-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 remain Ziggs because your poke beats his pre-item mixed damage. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is Skill: your R threatens him but Valkyrie mobility lets him dodge and trade back. |
| First item | Corki | At first item Corki spikes as Hextech Munitions true damage flips extended trades. |
| Two+ items | Corki | At 2+ items Corki stays ahead with Sheen burst and superior mixed-damage scaling. |
Levels 1-2 are yours: your Q outranges Corki's autos and Phosphorus Bomb, and Short Fuse chips him whenever he steps up, so shove and deny before his spikes land. He runs out of mana before he runs out of health, so shove hard, poke his walk-ups and make him pay for every answer. Do not stand in a Gatling cone even at your range. Lay the minefield on the Valkyrie landing and take the plate rather than chasing past your own vision.
