Ziggs vs Ezreal

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 7, 2026

Overview

Ziggs controls lane by punishing Ezreal's last-hit paths with (Q) and (E) poke from long range.
Ezreal relies on (E) for safety and (Q) poke windows; Ziggs wins if he denies these.
The lane favors Ziggs when he keeps Ezreal low and crashes waves to pressure turret plates.

Trading pattern

Step forward to hit Ezreal during last-hit animations if enemy support cannot immediately punish.
Use (E) to zone Ezreal from approaching and (Q) to poke when (E) is on cooldown.
Avoid trading if (E) is available and enemy support controls brush or engage zones.

Danger windows

Ezreal's all-in threat peaks when (E) is available to dodge (Q) and reposition for follow-up.
Avoid stepping forward when enemy support controls brush or threat zones enabling immediate engage.
Ziggs is vulnerable when (W) is down, as he loses his main peel and turret execute tool.

Early game

Use the first three waves to thin minions with (Q) and (E), denying Ezreal safe CS angles.
Punish Ezreal stepping out of minion cover for caster minion last-hits if support threat is low.
Hold (W) to disengage (E) engage or to execute turret plates after a wave crash.

Power spikes

Level 6 (R) allows Ziggs to threaten cross-map damage and force Ezreal to respect or reset.
First completed mage poke item improves (W) cooldown, enabling safer trades and stronger turret pressure.
Respect Ezreal's first item spike by avoiding extended trades when his (Q) poke and (E) reposition are up.

Win conditions

Convert poke and waveclear pressure into turret plate damage using (W) execute windows.
Punish Ezreal's CS attempts when his (E) is down and support cannot contest.
Use lane priority to set up dragon vision and force Ezreal into unsafe farming positions before item spikes.
