New Zilean Chatter
We are just going to calmly talk about the new Zilean in this post:
My initial thoughts of when I saw the range increase and potential stun and the 99% rank 5 timewarp was that he would make a beastly good support, which can work, but I found better success on him in the mid lane. Time Mage Mid lane Zilean still has all the utility of a great supportive play style, but because of the range increase due to making his Q a skill shot his laning becomes so much better, especially as a dedicated waveclear source, even extending the range of the bombs by placing it in front of the minions for them to pick it up then ... KABOOM goes the minions! Clarity is very useful on him as he is a champion that you want to spam your spells even if it is spamming E and W to roam the map, you even need the spell after your Archangels and Morellos to make sure you can always keep up on your spamming making Zilean way more useful in teamfights if you do not need to worry about going OOM.
Overall, the new Zilean is very fun to play and is a lot more rewarding with the skill shot element to timebombs!
