my favorite champion was nerfed to oblivion and playing him recently has brought me back great memories of zilean Ever since the skillshot nerf on his Q, i have dealt than half the damage i usually did pre-nerf because of how hard it is to land it and it is his only damage source. anyone fed in league of legends should be able to kill others easily but it isn't for zilean Please return his point and click q and remove that useless, difficult stun I would rather have his ap ratio nerfed by half than his q being a skillshot

why should annie's q be point and click but not zilean's?

His old Q Had no counter play at least with annie Q it's ranged so you can block it with wall or flash so you are not combo-Ed. My guess is that you haven't had much practice with the new zillion his Q can actually do quite a bit of damage yes it's hard to land but there are alternatives to that The most effective thing I've seen is people using their slow on someone and then using their qs to stun . Zillions with enough practice can throw both bombs instantly on demand causing quite a mass amount of damage. if you've mastered ( to some extent ) Reading your opponent then you can but it will move to their going to make so you can use your bombs zoning tool.

His q is one of the highest single moves damage wise out of any mage so I'm not sure how u say it's weak I can 2 shot people I'm not sure how you can't

Obviously you were not around for the gut wrenching destruction that was post-nerf Evelynn way back when

basically I have no idea why you are upset. last season near the end of it, when I was newer to this game even I was able to identify how cheesy and broken Zilean was. His Q's had ZERO counterplay in lane and especially later in the game. You could legit just run full pen or ap runes, wait a few levels to get some base damage in your Q and then just walk up to ADC, double bomb them walk away. rinse repeat until forced out of lane or dead.

the bomb's not being point and click surely nerfed his ability to cheese, but they gave him a gamebreaking AOE stun to make up for it. His Q stun is decent in length and has almost the AOE of like an amumu ult which is absurd. granted you have to land two bombs, but still. there are aways to do that. you can slow the enemy making a double bomb easy.

not to mention with max cdr his bombs have like a 5 seconds cooldown, so even after a double bomb in a team fight you can do it AGAIN.

his bombs assuming you use them right are 300 (+90% AP) at max rank, and if you times that by two, landing the double bomb....that is 600 (180% AP) ratio on one target possibly more if that single target who is probablly dead now doesnt get away from the teammates.

never mind that you can use it again in 5 seconds. that is some scary shit if you can land it.

If people ever can land the Q's consistently Zilean will be a strong pick imo just because of his team fight offensive ability, gamebreaking CC, 99% slow/speed up, and 40 second GA.
