When you lay down Satchel or Minefield you have to remember to aim where they are going to go and not where they were. You almost always over shoot the target or predict their advance. Hexplosive Minefield is basically a zoning tool. You use it to discourage any tactics they might use to rush you or punish them as they try to fall back. It's also a great tool for taking out a minion swarm real quick. You only use it defensively during the laning phase. Bouncing bombs is really where it's at as a good throw makes to where the melee champs can't farm and ranged champs have to juke you or force you to go out of mana just to not take damage.

The Satchel Charge has only two real uses. Neither of which inolves it doing damage. Using it to escape via the big bounce it gives you. Or knocking up your target for a brief moment to CC them. In a team fight or a chase it's really great. When using it to escape personally always throw it infront of you and trigger it when you are on the edge of It's AOE. You can actually jump certain objects with this (you can jump out of Dragon's nest just as an example). If seeing an ally being chased throwing satchel and minefield completely discourages the pursuers. And if not you should probably run or give them a face full of bouncing bombs.

You can completely ruin any ult that requires that the target remain still during the charge or cast time. Fiddlestick ult? Nunu Ult? No problem. Just plant the satchel and shake them up for a fall.

I remember the first time I played as Ziggs and I wasn't very good with him. But I never forgot when I first played against a Ziggs and I was dominated in lane by him. Now I do the dominating as Ziggs and it feels nice to give those assassins a run for their money. Show 'em who really rules mid lane.
