Am I the only one that think's Zilean's w is dumb?

For a guy that is about time, Zilean's w ( reducing his spells cooldowns) seems like wasted potential I know Riot wants him to be a support, but how awesome would it be if it instead did _Rewind : Reduces an ally's cooldowns by 30% _

Instead of,

Rewind: Zilean reduces the cooldown of timebomb and timewarp by 10 seconds

As it is, his passive looks dumb. They might as well change it to a Lissandra-esque passive like "Passive: Foreseen-Future : Every 10 seconds, Zilean can cast a non-ultimate spell with no cost. Basic attacks reduce the cooldown by 1 second"

so that he can still cast his double bombs/ double time warps

He looks like a friggin god ( look at his splash art, dude looks powerful) and yet all he does is run around throwing bombs and... getting the ability to throw MORE bombs! :D I know that such a spell would be difficult to balance, but his w has so much support potential. Maybe even increase an enemy's cd? refresh your ally's summoner's spells?

I'm just throwing this out here, Any thoughts community?

tldr: Zilean's w seems like wasted potential. For a rewind spell, reducing ally's cds would feel much more awesome than your own

zilean would be ban worthy if he lowered his allies cooldowns

its the only ability he can't use on allies. And if it was castable on allies-it would be OP. And if it is nerfed later-it would be useless on Zilean If you need some OMFG TIME MAGE explanation-imagine if he STOPS THE TIME FOR ENTIRE WORLD INCLUDING REAL WORLD TOO, and waits 10 seconds so his abilities are refreshed. And if this spell needs buffs-add hp and mana equal to 10 seconds of regen

His W need to be his passive, and open a new slot to a new passive! IMO.

I'd prefer to see Rewind take 5 seconds off his item cooldowns with every use.

This would lead to some very interesting Zilean builds [Righteous Glory! Lich Bane! Hextech Gunblade!] and add to the feeling of being an intelligent time magician greatly.

They've been doing crazy gimmicks lately, so this would fit nicely.
