League of Legends roundtable - Is Ziggs worth buying?

This week's patch not only adds a new champion to League of Legends, but it also makes Ziggs, the Hexplosives Expert, free to play for seven days! Unsure if he's worth messing around with? Don't worry, just check out our League of Legends Roundtable, above, to see if he's right for you, and be sure to check back later this week to get our verdict on Nautilus, the Titan of the Depths.

Every few weeks, Riot Games launches a new champion for League of Legends, and the community immediately erupts into endless debate. Some will always think that anything new is overpowered, while others will complain that the new Champions need massive buffs in order to compete with the older ones that players have already mastered. We feel like ending that debate, one Champion at a time, and we'll be tackling every new champion alongside our good friends at PCGamer to help you decide whether or not the new Champions are worth buying.

And be sure to leave us feedback as to things you want us to discuss or show off while we play these new characters - your opinion is valuable to us, and we want to make sure we give you the absolute best League of Legends coverage we can.
