Zilean needs to be balanced

ChildrenOfBodom··1 votes·726 views

I've noticed that Zilean's Q does a large amount of damage come late game, but that's not what has my attention. What irritates me is that his cooldown reducing ability allows for him to never be killed in laning circumstances, and prove very difficult later in game as well. Considering this ability reduces his other cooldowns by 10 seconds, it's not that bad. However, at max rank the ability itself has a cooldown of roughly six seconds, give or take CDR masteries. This is almost a two to one ratio from provided CDR to the cooldown itself. This would allow the cooldown of his ult to be reduced by ten seconds once every six seconds, reducing the overall cooldown by roughly 60 percent, without CDR items. This combined with Guardian angel is equivalent to one extremely irritating champion that just will not die. I think it would only be reasonable if either the CDR ability didn't affect his ult/ affected his ult in a smaller amount

there are plenty of ways to conterplay everything he does.

his ult for example: simply letting the low health target live while ulted completely negates zils team fight fight presence. switch targets, wait a few seconds, and finish them off when they arnt ulted anymore. and sure, he can nuke you down with a qwq combo, but then what? useless.

His winrate is 43%. If anything he needs buffs.

As someone who plays nothing but Zilean when I support, I can tell you Zilean's biggest weaknesses.

Hard CC and Shields/Spellshields"

I can't count the number of times I've played against a Morgana/Sivir combo and wanted to cry in a corner while they destroyed me without me being able to do anything.

As for mid lane, I would say play Lux. He has snares, pokes and shields for days.
