Zileans ultimate should have an activation timer.

It's really unfair and stupid that zilean has this powerful ult that goes off immediately.

WARNING: I am not claiming zileans ult is overpowered. Before people spam this post saying that I'm a "bronze moron being salty" just understand that in no way this is saying the ability is overpowered.

Anyway, it should have an activation timer of about 1 second. This is because he can just use the ultimate right before another ability with an activation timer goes off (examples: lux ult, Syndra ult, obliterator in nexus siege) and survive. Normally, people wouldn't attack him when he has his ultimate up, but when an ability with a cast time is used, they can't cancel it and he can therefore ult himself.

Giving it an activation time (anywhere from 0.8-1.6 seconds) would prevent this.

Also, for an ability that can frikking revive, if it goes off immediately, there's really no counter to it. Other abilities that are considered strong like Cassiopeias ultimate have counterplay- face away. Other examples are bards q, stay away from allies when he's in range, or twisted fates ultimate, which gives you reaction time as you see him slowly appear. Zilean has none of this. If the person could be killed before it completely goes off, there would be counterplay.

I didn't make this post because I fought a zilean who pissed me off, no, I made it because I had a zilean who was way to good at support when he immediately saved someone. You're the same guy who hates on every post I have made in the last month. Seriously. You have nothing positive to say.

To bring enlightenment on why this idea is awful:

Zilean's ult is by far his strongest tool. Just like Taric Zilean (support at least) gives a super strong slow with his E and a short-as-fuck stun with his Q, (if you can land both bombs which is unlikely since most champs jump around all over the place) His W is barely an ability Zilean's playrate is ass So is his winrate Zilean is literally all about his ult. He's situational at best and doesn't need to get bent over for nothing

nah, his ult isn't even an easy ability to land in so many cases. Whether it be because your ally died too fast, the champ is out of your flash+ult range, your distracted with saving the rest of your team by providing cc, pulling off perfect timings to help your ally, using your ult to try and get your ally more health. Point is, Zil already has a lot on his plate anyways. Don't think he needs a disadvantage like that. Nowadays, a Zil Doing awesome is ALMOST like an azir or another very low winrate champ doing good. He isn't underpowered, he just doesn't need changes.
