Thoughts on Zilean rework

HaugheyPuck99·Mar 25, 2015·3 votes·625 views

As someone who used to enjoy playing Zilean, I feel the new rework may have hit him too hard. The lower duration on his ultimate of 5 seconds gives teammates less time to react, and I often end up feeling guilty when my teammates run back in to make use of it and end up dying because the duration ran out at the last second. I feel as though his ult's duration would need another second added to it to be back in a good position. I also like to think that I'm really good with skillshots as well, but I've been having a lot of difficulty being able to land his new Q on an enemy. Going from being a point-and-click ability that never missed (unless spellshielded of course) to something that's exceptionally difficult for me to be able to hit properly has made me dislike a champion I used to really enjoy.

Thoughts? Anyone agree? Disagree?

I feel like his Q hitbox is slightly too small, so it would be nice if they bumped it up a little bit.

verbal communication is key when playing zilean, like playing shen.

I also think 5 seconds is a bit too little time and I've had a very poor winrate with him. He struggles with reliability (one of the best things about the old Zilean) and doesn't even have the mana to use his abilities often. However, I haven't tried him in this patch and he definitely got a bit of help.
