Zilean, The Chronokeeper [REWORK THOUGHTS]

PyroAeroVampire·12/19/2013, 10:48:26 PM·1 votes·782 views

Zilean is super underplayed, mostly because of his inability to contribute a heal, shield, or deal damage beyond AA's and his Q. I think he needs a rework.

Passive: Time Flux [Range: 1000] {Ally}

For each 2% of health Zilean is missing, him and allies near him gain 1% movement speed.

Q: Time Bomb [Range: 750] {Ally or Enemy}

Places a time bomb on an ally or enemy. After 3 seconds, the bomb explodes, dealing damage to all enemies in the area.

Damage:60/95/130/165/200 (+0.75 AP)

Mana Cost: 60/70/80/90/100

Cooldown: 7 Seconds

W: Past and Future [Range: 1050] {Directional Skillshot}

Sends out a giant clock, damaging all enemies it hits.

Damage: 50/80/110/140/170 (+0.6 AP)

Projectile Speed: 550/625/700/775/850

Mana Cost: 80/85/90/95/100

Cooldown: 9 Seconds

E: Time Warp [Range: 600] {Ally or Enemy}

Zilean bends time around a champion, slowing and damaging an enemy or healing and increasing an ally's movement speed.

Damage: 70/110/150/190/240 (+0.6 AP)

Heal: 60/95/130/165/200 (+0.5 AP)

Slow/Additional Movement Speed: 50%

Mana Cost: 50/60/70/80/90

Cooldown: 15/14/13/12/11

R: Father Time [Range: 2000/2500/3000] {Self}

Zilean becomes the embodiment of time, becoming untargetable for a short time. For the duration, there is an entity that will move at high speeds around Zilean, damaging and slowing all enemies hit. The ability is canceled if the entity leaves the range or it times out. Each enemy can only be hit once each time this spell is cast.

Damage: 125/225/325 (+0.9 AP)

Slow: 20%/30%/40%

Entity's Movement Speed: 500/600/700 (+0.3 AP)

Duration (Seconds): 3/4.5/6

Mana Cost: 175

Cooldown: 180/160/140

I love the new passive though it may be way too powerful. Thematically it is amazing though. As Zil's body loses stability time around him fluctuates as he loses control. I like it.

The W is boring though, and needs some sorta interaction with his other spells or something. Also, its a little hokey in that he literally peggs em with a giant clock. Perhaps worst though is that it removes his double Q play, which is one of the funnest parts of playing zilean. To lose that you need to compensate zil big time in gameplay.

Also, the ult, while interesting doesn't create the gameplay highs or teambuilding niches that zilean wants and his current ult already gives. I might recommend removing the invulnerabilty on it, decreasing the damage, and making it a normal spell for him. His W maybe. If so, let it pop any time bombs it runs through or reduce zils cooldowns for every enemy hit.

I like the E ideas as well. I feel zil needs to keep his ult more or less as its what makes zil zil. If anything, Id recommend making it more like weaver from dotas ult. Let it record where the ally is when its cast and what their cooldowns were. Let it really send them back in time on death.

His W or E should make a wall which reflects skillshots. That'd be cool.
