could you make it so that when i play supp that i get graded based off of how well i do as a supp... supps arent allowed to get kills we arent allowed to have cs so what am i supposed to do to be able to get an S i have m6 zil and i play pretty well when i do play him. im wanting to get m7 really bad w/ him but its almost impossible to do... unless someone can tell me what i can do to get an S+ as a supp.... plz help me...
RookPusher2 votesI'm looking at your match history, and here's some advice from a fellow Zilean player - I'm currently rank 6 with two Mastery 7 tokens.
You die a lot. You need to have 2 deaths max in a sub-40 game, or 3 in a 40+ game to even compete. Not only is this mandatory S policy, it's also good game policy. Work on this before anything else.
Take 
over the coin line. Zil has huge auto attack range, and bombs make getting gold easy money. Quicker money, better items, yada yada
I'd avoid 
. You want CDR, but not from that. What I'd suggest for a build order is this:
Start - 
x3 
1st back - 
2nd - 
The thing to keep in mind is your first few items should be about gold. Frost fang gives you more, and tear allows you to stay in lane more. Also, the less you're dead the more you make.
My final build tends to look like this: 
(this makes his revive provide more health, and gives you speed), 
Some consideration can be given to removing Seraph mid-game to pick up 
for more speed when you don't need mana, but that's up to you. And shouldn't be applied broadly. A Zilean without mana is some bad bad news.
Make sure you're maxing slow first and your bomb last. His slow down/speed up ability is the single greatest gank-removal method in the game. I more often use it to slow enemies, but the occasional boost for a kill has occured.
If you want an S, improve 3 things:
A. Your death count. B. Your assist count. The active on Queen's and Redemption should help here. C. Your CS. Banner should help with this assuming you set it up for success: Start as close to your base as you can (with consideration for the point of the game) Don't send a promo into their minion push Always give it to a Siege

thanks for the tips
AlienPrimate1 votesYou just have to play really well. It is the same as any other position even though I actually find it really easy to get S grades as a support. I'm not sure what your scores on support generally look like, but this should give you an idea of what is required for an S.

The S+ games were 2/1/24, 7/3/22, and 3/0/26.
sheldonbunny1 votesYou are already graded by how you're doing as a support. The criteria is the following:
Now that we have a crowd control score, try making sure you provided adequate peel/engage to your team. With Zilean, that's fairly straight forward.
Remember, you only need an S to get the mastery 7 tokens. It allows a tiny bit of wiggle room.
