This is Ziggs's own plan; across 182 pooled games the lane is leaning Master Yi.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ziggs | You out-range and poke him with Q artillery from level 1. |
| Level 2 | Ziggs | At 2 Q zoning and W knockback keep him off the wave. |
| Level 3 | Ziggs | Level 3 E minefield and poke deny any approach. |
| Levels 4-5 | Ziggs | Levels 4-5 he still cannot gap-close your artillery zoning. |
| Level 6 | Ziggs | At 6 Alpha Strike's untargetable dash dodges your bomb outright. |
| First item | Ziggs | First item Wuju Style's true damage ignores every stat you buy. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Late Highlander makes him immune to your mine slows entirely. |
Levels 1-3 are target practice: Q Bouncing Bomb out-ranges everything he does, W Satchel Charge knocks him off any approach, and E Hexplosive Minefield turns Alpha Strike angles into traps - he loses CS, health, and patience simultaneously while you shove waves into his tower for free.
