I don't have Zilean to do so but the damage output is more than enough before he is out of mana. Essentially by the time he is out of mana, your HP is very low, especially if you are bot lane. I have not seen a Zilean have mana issues really, so, I don't get why you keep trying to defend him and bringing up irrelevant points? The topic is about his low CD on his ult needing a nerf. If his mana sucks, then well, riot should compensate and buff his mana regen or give him more mana or reduce the mana cost on a skill or two.
His mana doesn't change his ultimate, I don't think I've seen a Zilean not have mana to ult someone or himself? I seen some not be able to get their ults off in time and die fast, or their ults wear off before that someone dies.
Anyhow, he has a safe laning phase as is, even has a speed boost which you cant catch him and stuff, the problem still is the ultimate and its CD, i'm fine with everything else.
HIS ULT is no different from a GA, Even IF you killed someone with them with his ultimate they won't revive for about three seconds. The two issues I see you complaining about is his damage and his Ultimate. Currently right now this is dawn of the tanks. Even an Aegis would shutdown a chuck of his damage. His CS to his Ult is fine.
Honestly HOW many games have you played against a Ziliean? To top that answer how many games have you played against a GOOD Zil?
9/ 10 when I see Zil ult someone they run away and wait for it to expire THEN go back into a fight and die. 129 other champions that have CC that can kill a Zil or force him to blow his ult. For you to say seven seconds is still plenty of time for someone to get hurt on, CC does wonders on people.
I can go on forever how easy it is to counter a Zil, his ult cd is perfectly fine.
