Caitlyn vs Ziggs

Caitlyn lore:

Renowned as its finest peacekeeper, Caitlyn Kiramman is also Piltover's best shot at ridding the city of its elusive criminal elements. She is often paired with Vi, acting as a cool counterpoint to her partner's more impetuous nature. Even though she carries a one-of-a-kind hextech rifle, Caitlyn's most powerful weapon is her superior intellect, allowing her to lay elaborate traps for any lawbreakers foolish enough to operate in the City of Progress.

Caitlyn tips:

Make use of her Yordle Snap Traps by placing them pre-emptively to ensure that you'll have one off of cooldown during combat.
Avoid using Ace in the Hole in large team melees as it might be blocked by the wrong target.
Fire 90 Caliber Net away from the opponent to close the gap or hop over walls.

Playing Against Caitlyn

Keep behind allied minions if Caitlyn is harassing you with Piltover Peacemaker (it deals less damage with each subsequent target).
You can intercept Ace in the Hole's missile from hitting an ally if you stand in its path.

Caitlyn abilities description:

Headshot (passive)

Every few basic attacks, or against a target she has trapped or netted, Caitlyn will fire a headshot dealing bonus damage that scales with her critical strike chance. On trapped or netted targets, Caitlyn's Headshot attack range is doubled.

Piltover Peacemaker (Q)

Caitlyn revs up her rifle for 1 second to unleash a penetrating shot that deals physical damage (deals less damage to subsequent targets).

Yordle Snap Trap (W)

Caitlyn sets a trap that, when sprung, reveals and immobilizes the enemy champion for 1.5 seconds, granting Caitlyn an empowered Headshot.

90 Caliber Net (E)

Caitlyn fires a heavy net to slow her target. The recoil knocks Caitlyn back.

Ace in the Hole (R)

Caitlyn takes time to line up the perfect shot, dealing massive damage to a single target at a huge range. Enemy champions can intercept the bullet for their ally.
