Levels 1-2 favour Ziggs: Bouncing Bomb reaches 850 against your 450 melee, he has no reason to walk up, and you have no E yet. Take the CS, sidestep the bomb, and wait for level 3 before you look for any trade. Track Satchel Charge is 20s at rank 1 and 12s at rank 5: his escape, and it knocks you away too.
