Can we give Zilean some QoL fixes?
He's really really bad right now. It's extremely hard to land his Q skill shot, which I don't know why it was made into a skill shot but okay. I have 3 problems with his Q:
- The pick up radius is too small
A lot of the time, you simply just can't expect to be exact or right on target and if you miss that brings up problem number 2 and 3 which I will get to shortly. So my proposed fix is very very simple. Just increase the width about 40-50% to make it easier to land and make it prefer to target champions over minions or something of the sort and that would make him much better to play.
2/3. The second problem is how small the explosion zone is which also links to the 3rd problem as well. The explosion zone is clearly visible. Not a bad idea for clarity but at the same time it's really, really bad for Zilean. No one who has a brain is going to
A: Go within the pick up radius of the bomb because then they will surely take damage?
B: Stay within the bombs radius for 3 seconds until the bomb goes off which is the 3rd problem as well.
My proposed fix is 2 things. The first one is to increase the radius of the explosion by a small 10%. And the second is to reduce the time the bomb has to explode down by .5 seconds.
The only other problem I have with Zilean is his ult. I get it, buy CDR it will be about the same. But the thing is that it feels better to literally spam W and that also got it off cd faster so you could always have it up. That is no longer the case. Now it has the same cd as every other ult in the game and that just does not feel good on a champion like Zilean because he does not have much going for him to begin with. I think just reverting the change would fix this.
I feel as if with these changes Zilean can once again be fun to play. Most of this is just QoL fixes. They should not be hard to implement and we all know that Zilean deserves better than this.
