Oh, I'm sorry. Here's me thinking that Ziggs throws grenades of one sort or another with his abilities. The abilities that make up the primary source of his damage? The bombs? The satchel charges? Minefields? The Long Ranged Nuke?

You know them? :)

A Marksman relies primarily on their basic attacks to deal damage.

A Mage relies primarily on their abilities to deal damage.

Teemo is a Marksman because of the benefits to his basic attacks that come from breaking his passive and the DoT from his E. He is secondarily a caster because of the nuke damage from his Q and the DoT from his mushrooms.

Ziggs is not a marksman because he very rarely relies on his auto attacks. His abilities put him out of his own AA range and his passive has no benefit from building like a marksman.

It's not confusing if you see where the classifications are coming from. Gameplay, not theme.
