The 80% AP ratio on his W is there, sure, but I don't think that E can be used aggressively on so many scenarios. So, until lv6 it's almost like having just one offensive spell, and then on it's like having just two until you get a Lich bane. Sure, you actually have a mage kit, but a mage kit that asks for too many circumstances to be what Ziggs is, per example.

It's just like building crit on AD Ez. Sure, you might be working like a carry, but you have just deranged your Q to a mere CD refresher ability since it doesn't crits. See what I try to say here about his kit?

That said, yes, I went a bit too far by saying that Ez is kinda unplayable.
