Zilean in season 4 shows why Riot sucks at their job

actual zilean players have been fucked so hard this season.

they nerfed the gold item for all the zilean supports, and now they are wrecking his passive for all the zilean solo laners.

no compensation buffs of course. despite the fact that hes now weaker in every single role.

for the record, i played zilean for 2 reasons

  1. hes fun
  2. strangers on the internet are very unreliable. his global passive helped my poor allies who always seem to lose top lane. It was the only way I could help all 4 allies at once, that is actually the original reason I learned him.

now

  1. its going to be less fun to lose because your character is underpowered due to nerfs. **"becuz the pros used it like a year after you did" is pretty shitty reasoning for actual zilean players. Actual zilean players just want to play their champ and dont give a fuck about your LCS. **
  2. now the random strangers on my team will just lose lane harder. what am i supposed to do now? I no longer have a way to help all 4 of them at once. Great. More frustrating games with angry strangers raging because they cant win lane. So I guess "Just mute them"??? Great. Thats a great alternative to helping them without leaving lane. Great.

I dont even know how big 1500 units is. that means nothing to me. you know whats an easy range to recognize? global. wtf am i supposed to do with 1500 units? mouseover the passive and then scroll all over the map to see how far it goes??? then die when im not looking at my self because im checking my 1450 unit away ally??? Great.

oh and @ whoever wrote the patch notes "This is it, we got the last global passive in the game." like this is fucking pokemon or something. youre not supposed to be collecting nerfs. youre supposed to be balancing a game.

its beyond stupid to say "we got" as if you had to catch it. as if it was a challenge for you. as if you had to go out into the wild and hunt it. Grats! You (not we, you) got it! You did your job very poorly. Very poorly. Yeah, if doing your job very poorly is reason to celebrate and then yeah man, you got it. Grats...?

so yeah, just a little rant, you can ignore it or insult me or spiderman thread or whatever you want. these boards suck compared to old GD anyway.

just felt like getting out some frustration. this game causes a lot of it. thank god for steam games.

have a good night everyone

I liked the direction they were going in on the PBE a few weeks back where the EXP bonus was bumped to 10% and he got AP at levels 6, 11 and 16. That's some reasonable compensation. I don't think a nerf this huge is warranted.

The passive change doesn't even bothered me at all. All I know is, we can still place free-damage bombs from a distance without counterplay.

Zilean just needs a rework. His passive was just hidden power to your whole team.
