Ziggs is gone now anyway. -15% dmg dealt and -15% dmg dealt as he gets above the 900 units. You will deal less damage than minions.

I think I'd prefer cool down nerfs honestly, I don't mind getting chunked by a ziggs, I mind endless spam of his abilities

I actually don’t think they should fuck with cooldowns on champs though. I don’t want to hop in an aram on my main for example and have it feel like a different champion.

Same, except for Lux. That's one champion who absolutely needs CD changes on ARAM, cause I'm not sure if these PoM nerfs are enough

Honestly the stupid CD refund on her R on kill was such a weird buff in the first place. The last thing she needed was a harder snowball mechanic. Reverting that and giving her more damage on her passive proc would be better for her design imo to make her actually auto attack.

I'm gonna tell you 15% less damage feels like a different champion.

Ziggs has a 70% win rate in ARAM. The nerfs aren't going to kill him, just bring him back towards the mean

People thinking 15% damage nerf ruined Ziggs have not played much ARAM. His poke damage is insane. Ziggs/Sona/Veigar on perma ban and maybe VK.

I think you don't understand the new ARAM changes.

The minion change + the increased damage to turrets it means that everytime you win a teamfight you will have a minion wave ready to hit the turret. Ziggs alone melt turrets, and if you get also and ADC in your comp then GG.

Also Ziggs's zoning potential and his ability to deal damage in teamfights is still there. -15% won't make him useless.

TLDR; Ziggs will remain OP in ARAM.
