Lets make Zilean better

Turn the volume up on this video first before you watch it.

Caught up? Good

So with all that in mind lets make Zilean appropriately good again.

Passive: (I have nothing right now maybe you guys can help)

Q: same usual time bomb you know now.

W: NEW or old? RECALL: Refresh a non ultimate ability on target ally.

E: Time twister, refer to video (would actually give Zilean another ability to refresh and be useful as a mage) Stun does not happen until 1.25 seconds into the aoe effect, (think much like a victor gravity field but with damage)

R: Zilean can cast one instance of Chronoshift every 90 seconds, Zilean can only have one instance at a time and if he casts it again it transfers to that champion. After a champion triggers chronoshift they cannot be affected by that spell again fro 10 seconds.

This would make Zilean stronger as both a support and a mage, would no longer make him a one trick pony and with the right ap ratio tweaks could be very balanced as well.

Zilean is a champ who pretty much gets the Nunu treatment without the benefits of a nich that stands out. His time bomb is easy to dodge, his ult is easy to wait out, and his E is subpar compared to alot of other champs that get benefits attached to a speed boost. I think with these sorts of changes he could be great again without be over powered.

OK, here's a passive idea

Paradox: Allies under Zileans spell effects do everything 10% faster

Enemies under Zileans spell efects do everything 10% Slower

This isn't just an attack speed or movement speed buff/debuff; attack animations and spell animations will go faster or slower and if someone uses a channel while under Zileans effects they will also go faster or slower

With that in mind maybe the passive could scale up over time. Like this 5%/10%/15%

time twister: (E) zilean creates a zone where enemies projectiles are slowed and allied projectiles are speeded.

would be good

Passive: (I have nothing right now maybe you guys can help)

#1

New Passive: Reminiscence

If Zilean stands still for 4 seconds he creates a Memory (a ghost of himself) (only 1 at the time, creating a new one eliminates others) Memories cannot be target. Pressing Alt-key allows to control the memory (the original zilean can still be moved and damaged, like when controlling other clones) this memory looks "ghostly" and distinguishable from the original. Memories don't grant vision and disappear after zilean dies.

Memories can't move but can cast spells with shared cooldown with the original. 4 seconds after of casting the first spell with a memory, the memory fades.

Now, memories could have 2 possible auras, either: 1- nearby allies get 8% extra XP. 2- when Zilean casts a spell, allied champions near the Memory get +5% cooldown reduction for X seconds and/or nerby enemies -5% cdr.

#2

New Passive: Reminiscence Zilean creates a Memory after standing still for 5 seconds (an unkillable immobile ghost of himself).
Zilean can have a maximum of 1/2/3 Memories

When Zilean or any ally clicks on a Memory, it's teleported to it ((600 range) or 500/600/700) consuming the memory and granting Zilean some XP (regardless of who uses the Memory). (this would compensate for the XP/gold lost while Zilean is roaming and standing to leave the Memories)

W: NEW or old? RECALL: Refresh a non ultimate ability on target ally.

This effect could kinda be added to the current Rewind, but tuning it down, something like when Zilean casts Rewind, nearby allies get (5% ?) extra cooldown reduction for (5 ?) seconds.

E: Time twister, refer to video (would actually give Zilean another ability to refresh and be useful as a mage) Stun does not happen until 1.25 seconds into the aoe effect, (think much like a victor gravity field but with damage)

could only work if its made into an AoE version of his current E, without stun. though i'd rather have them fix bombs to be thrown faster and the second bomb to prioritize the target with the first one to achieve the stun.

R: Zilean can cast one instance of Chronoshift every 90 seconds, Zilean can only have one instance at a time and if he casts it again it transfers to that champion. After a champion triggers chronoshift they cannot be affected by that spell again fro 10 seconds.

probably broken, there isn't much issue with the current chronoshift, though it could produce some kind of AoE damage when the target is killed.

what he mostly needs is have lower cooldowns, because in fights, if his bombs are on cd he is pretty much useless, also would allow for more frequent speedups.

I can see how the memory passive would be relevant and think its a good idea, maybe just his E time twister could have the projectile effects as another person posted. I really like those ideas :)
