User blog comment:Commander Marko/Commander Marko's set of Custom Patch Notes! (I regret doing this...)/@comment-14874017-20140710140558/@comment-4290320-20140711082449

That is like saying they nerfed Skarner because he was sleeper op and no one played him, while Nautilus whos popularity was %-wise half of that of Skarner was untouched. I've mained Ziggs before the 'big buffs', and even back then he was a pretty decent mage. Still, immobile champions can't exactly dodge Lux's Finales Funkeln that easily. Ziggs' ult might deal double damage to minions, monstes and what not, but Lux's ult can have a cooldown of around 35 seconds on live with full cdr (Athenes and Blue Buff). Ziggs' goes around 54 seconds.

That might not seem much granted both have 40% CDR, but in a CDR-less build (or early game, to be more realistic), Lux's Finales Funkeln has an advantage over Mega Inferno Bomb. :P
