Zilean is the perfect counter to melee champion especially with the crippling E

Have you ever tried to get close to an adc with Zilean pressing E on you and crippling your movement speed to 112 for exemple. And feels aweful getting outplayed by a ranged point and click that is up as soon as it goes on cooldown? I played morde that match and felt aweful not being able to do anything during a teamfight being crippled down.

I feel like a fascist when I'm playing Zillean and there is a dashless melee enemy near me.

Nasus's W is basically the same... But with a attack speed slow on top of it and lasts longer.

Yeah.

But Nasus doesn't have a stun, isn't ranked, can't perma slow (40% CDR and mashing W lets you keep 100% uptime on one target), and doesn't have a super powered GA ulti to throw on a teammate.

A good Zilean makes any dashless melee dead weight from the word go, and post 6 he basically removes assassins from the equation.

Zilean is suppose to protect his teammates, even from assassins. That is what he is made for.

Nasus's W is can be used over and over with max CDR as well once the W wears off.

He's kinda meant to be like the Nasus or Veigar of supports, he scales incredibly well but has an incredibly poor laning phase. He's weakest early, if you can find a way to shut him down then he won't be a problem for most of the game (as he won't be able to afford most of his CDR).

Yeah it's pretty bullshit with 40% cdr

Yeah last time I played Zillean there was a Hecarim on the other team. A Hecarim! Without his ult that horse would be stuck as chuck. Taking away his movement speed like that is so cruel.

Oh the irony of this post!

If you are taking Morde bot lane one of the best supports you can have on your team is a Zilean, they synergize amazingly well.

A Zilean complain thread?! Wow never thought I would see this

OP you're playing mord bot a lot of supports will cock block you. You are going to have to make a lot of threats to ultiamtely admit almost all the bot lane match ups are bad for mord
