This is Taliyah's own plan; across 815 pooled games the lane is leaning Ziggs.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | Ziggs wins level 1 — Bouncing Bomb out-ranges your Q and zones you off CS for free. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At 2 he keeps out-poking and out-ranging you while you still have no way to close. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 flips it: W and E let you bait his Q and all-in a champ with no mobility. |
| Levels 4-5 | Taliyah | Through 4-5 you keep forcing his Satchel early and punishing him once his escape is down. |
| Level 6 | Taliyah | At 6 your R roams and collapses on him while he's stuck shoving mid with no answer. |
| First item | Taliyah | Post-item your combo out-trades him up close — his Satchel jump through mines still stuns. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late it's a skill matchup — his siege zoning vs your all-in and picks, decided by who lands first. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Ziggs: his Bouncing Bomb out-ranges your Q and lets him poke and zone you off CS with total impunity while you have no gap-close yet. Play safe, soak XP, give up a few last-hits rather than eating free Q-mine chip, and wait for your kit to come online. Track Satchel Charge is 20s at rank 1, 12 at max — he is catchable only while it is down; count it before every step-up.
