Is Ziggs worth buying?
So, Ziggs is on sale and I was wondering if I should buy him or not.
I have a great time playing League with mid casters and stuff but looking at his kit, the only skill that I can see that will help me burst the other team down is his ulti. His Bouncing Bomb looks great for poke, but I'm wondering how good it will be in a teamfight. His Satchel Charge looks like a mini Exploding Cask but it's fairly hard to land. His Hexplosive Minefield looks pretty useful for those situations when you have to kill the inhibitor turret and run because they've respawned but I'm not sure how useful that will be in a teamfight.
His passive looks pretty scary, especially if I were to stack a Lich Bane with it but I'm not sure of his autoattack range so I'm not sure if using it in a teamfight would put me in a bad position.
Opinions?

Do note, that Ziggs is an AoE sustain damage so if you prefer Burst then you might not like him.
His problem:
1. since his a sustain champ he has some mana issue all trough out the game if you don't have some mana regen.
2. Squishy, (like almost every ap carry) so not a big factor.
His asset:
1. with all his AoE he's a natural zoner who easily shuts down Akali in lane, I can even play him against Fizz!!
2. Hurts alot.
3. not bad in terms of CC.
4. passive allows AA harassing which few ap mid can do.

However, all of them are skillshots and his ultimate has a long delay. It will require some mastering indeed. If you have a team composition with some AoE locking ultimates (like Amumu, Leona or even Jarvan IV) the skillshotting is much easier and you will do tons of damage in teamfights :D
Besides, Ziggs has one of the best laughs in game, that alone is worth 6300IP :P
It's so menacingly taunting.
Throw on a Rabadon's and one more high-AP item, and you can crush turrets in 3 to 4 shots.
It just takes practice to learn his ability ranges (especially his Q). And, appropriately enough for a guy whose attacks all have fuses, you really need to make sure to learn his timing; none of his skills will hit the instant you toss them, so you have to know how to lead your throws.
Worth buying? Yes.
