He has a strong early game with lots of harass with those bombs(so in early game be aggresive and you can zone you enemy), he can dish out alot of damage to the whole team in a teamfight, but going along with that you have to learn how to position yourself with him very well to be effective. When I first started him I felt like my ult was the most i could do in a tf until I learned how and when to go in on it. I would say champs with gap-closers counter him pretty hard(ie. i have trouble with le-blanc, kat, talon, the usually mid counters), as his only escape is his W which you can blow yoursef backwards.

As for build i usually go boots+3pots, doransx2, soc shoes, rabadons, wota, void staff, and a rylais or lichbane. If your getting focus down pretty hard grab an early zhonya's. And yes you need a good team comp for him to be effective in team fights.

Im not the best Ziggs player but thats my thoughts :)
