A champion based on time, who's biggest feature is rewinding time

Visigoth··4 votes·468 views

Damn, why does that sound familiar Zilean. I swear, Riot just dumpsters Zilean and makes champion that has his theme, just not executed like shit. Also, since I'm mentioning the cinematic, the guy he's fighting seems pretty legit too. Whether it be some sort of teaser for another champion later with a rivalry like some people we know Rengar Khazix Lucian Thresh Nasus Renekton

Riot CEO: "Yeah we are gonna put Prince of Persia in our game, but how do we do that without people finding it out?" Riot employee A: "umm, I have an idea, make it instead of magic we use hextech?" Riot CEO: "Go on." Riot employee A: "Oh, and also make him black just to differentiate it even further, and we can also satisfy the community demand too! 2 Anivias with 1 stone!" Riot CEO: "EXCELLENT."

Riot's already parodied a lot of characters. Eventually, I'll figure out a working Batman's Rogue Gallery team comp. Already got Augmented Singed, Jinx, Zyra, and Renekton so far.

would I be right to assume that Jynx is Harley Quin with a gun??? Maybe fiddle sticks could be scarecrow?

Personally depends on which Harley Quinn iteration. The one I'm familiar with (Batman: TAS and Arkham series) she kind of sucks up to the Joker. Jinx, on the other hand, doesn't follow any figure of authority. She does her own stunts and plans her own capers. I think of Jinx as closer to the Joker than Harley Quinn. They both are unpredictable and tend to not do things unless they get some entertainment out of it or is part of some bigger scheme.

Sounds legit (Jynx does have that Joker mentality) fun > profit

Zilean has never even come close to executing the theme of a time mage or even a time champion in general.

He is very thematically weak.

And honestly, he is so old, he would need to be invented to the point of being a new champion to fit the theme better. So it is better to just try and balance him how he is now.

He could always get Sion'd and get a complete relaunch. We can all agree that Sion is in a much better place now.

Zilean isnt in the clusterfuck state that Sion was in.

He does have an identity as an ap mage/support. His kit works, it just isnt the strongest.

Sion was a fucking mess that literally had 2 halves of 2 completely different champion kits put together.

I remember how AP sion mid used to use his stun and take 60% of the mid laners hp, he went from broken to useless and back again so often they just thought, forget that, let's just make a new champ :D

That was part of it.

The other part was half his kit was a mages kit, and the other half was an tanky melee ADC kit.

From the looks of the teaser, he can't even go that far back in time. Basically only a few seconds, starting from a checkpoint, and he still sustains the injuries he got.
