Ziggs vs Camille — Top Lane Matchup Guide

How to win lane as Ziggs against Camille · 46.36% win rate (220 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15

Verdict: A close lane that leans Camille on paper (Ziggs wins 46.36%), but Ziggs's plan below claims 4 of the 7 windows: convert them and the stats catch up to you.

At a glance

You own the lane until her hookshot finds a wall angle past your satchel — then plates stop mattering. Poke freely, but bank W for her E, every time.

Track: Camille's E — Hookshot (16–12s cooldown). Her wall-dash stun — fight away from terrain while it is up.

Do

  • Track Hookshot like a summoner spell
  • Pre-place E minefields on her dash path
  • Satchel the engage, then resume the poke

Don't

  • Waste W on poke or wave-clear
  • Trade inside her effective dash range
  • Greed for plates while Hookshot is up
