Guide to Synergizing Heimerdinger and Ziggs

Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger with Ziggs

Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.

The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.

Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.

Advice to Understand How Ziggs Will Play

Even if you're far from a fight you can still help from afar with Mega Inferno Bomb.

Slowing your enemies with Hexplosive Minefield makes it easier to land other abilities.

Knocking yourself over walls with Satchel Charge can be great when chasing after or escaping from enemies.

Is Heimerdinger better when played alongside Ziggs?

By locking into the same side as Heimerdinger, he decreases their win rate by -3.0% to 46.6%. This signals that there is a negative bond between Heimerdinger and Ziggs that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Ziggs has a much lower diffuclty than Heimerdinger. That means Heimerdinger players don't need to be very careful when arranging Ziggs teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Combined, these champs can blast through enemies with magic damage.

In contrast, by aligning Heimerdinger and Ziggs together, you will not be giving your side a lot of AD. Plan to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the ability of your Ziggs teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
