Zilean's gameplay identity is kinda bad.

Zilean? = Time? = Clock? = Bombs?

He's an all, almost, omniscient time lord (admittedly impaired) and what does he do to kill you? Throw clocks that explode... Come on..

Why doesn't he get a damage ability were he creates a hole in the space-time on his target's skin that damage them for massive amounts but because it doesn't follow space-time laws the damage slowly repairs itself back to original state. i.e. Damage a target instantly, X% of the damage is (not healed) gradually returned in 2 seconds.

Give him something cool man. @Riot.

Love your game.

Because that's an exact copy of a DoTA2 ability. I mean, yeah, thers going to be some overlap after a while, but thats almost literally Oracle's Flames.

I didn't realise that. I do remember now though, haven't played Dota 2 in months and only heard, not played with or against that new Oracle hero.

Mine was just a suggestion, the whole thing is mainly aimed towards the crappy throw bombs identity that Zilean has, it's so bad.

Oh, don't get wrong, the bomb throwing thing is weird, but by this point it's practically iconic. Annie throws Tibbers, Fizz throws a fish, and Zilean throws time bombs.

That's the annoying thing, it might actually piss off Zilean mains because of his iconic time bombs.

would like to see something like his Q becoming an anomaly in space-time that can be placed on the ground or on an ally and it interacts with his other skills

i.e if he throws one down he can E it and instead of it doing damage (or for reduced damage) it explodes into a slow field for enemies/a speed-up zone for allies to fight in

Or like a Viegar Event Horizon where it damages instead of stuns.

Maybe as a time lord, Zilean knows better than to open up rifts in space time. It never ends well.

yeah it's pretty silly. throwing time bombs while sitting on his floating armchair or whatever the hell that is.

he's definitely not the best thought-out champion rito has to offer.
