An important advantage of Ziggs is higher farming statistics (ranked 34th among role champions) (versus 60th for Sylas), which provides a stable gold advantage in extended games and allows faster access to key items. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.1 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
