Could we please Have Old Zilean back?

I've played the new, reworked Zilean tonight, and I have to say Rito, I'm extremely disappointed. What was the point of reworking his Q? There was none. I felt completely useless as Zilean's main role, support, and could do nothing for my team. You made his q a useless AOE (just like Soraka's Q) that is easily dodged and doesn't work well. Getting his stun combo off is a chore and a half. You took away everything that made this champ great, and tossed him under the bus with your other reworks (Once again, I'll mention Soraka).

The point of reworking his Q was so that he couldn't have a stupid long range AoE nuke with no counterplay whatsoever. Zilean's main role was actually mid.

Brother I post this just about every day his q is useless and I agree his q is worthless and they nerfed his w to not affect his ult . I would gladly trade in the stun for the old q

Here is my take on things that could be done with him now: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/dYBervck-ok-new-zilean-idea

I actually like his Q being a skill shot cause it does allow for interesting dynamics that in my opinion could still be added. Landing the double bomb is satisfying but not very impact-full.

His Passive definitively needs work. I want to keep the xp gain aura. I think is an important signature. I think that by gating it with CDR you can keep it controlled early game and make it more impact full as the game progresses. The second part of the passive I am proposing would help his personal sustain.

He could really use a bit more love.
