Rework Zilean Idea...
First and foremost, WHY DOES ZILEAN NEED A REWORK?
AHEM, HIS SKIN, WHACK HIS ABILITIES, WHACK HIS VOICE, WHACK THE WAY HE INTERACTS, WHACK THE WAY HE HAS ONLY 3 ABILITIES, WHACK HIS PASSIVE, WHACK
BUT NEW ZIL? THIS NEW ZILEAN IS TIGHT
Honestly though, his kit is old and outdated. His passive becomes absolutely useless the longer the games goes on. He only has 3 interacting abilities with 1 that you just spam every 12 or so seconds. Even his model is just ugly. With this rework in mind, I had to ask what made Zilean Zilean. Whenever i think of Zilean, I do think of his high impact ultimate, and speed. His time bombs are a neat idea, but I do not think they fit with the theme of league of legends as a whole. Keep in mind i'm not very good with balance and numbers, so abilities will just be descriptions.
Passive - Timewinder: Using Zilean's abilities reduce the cooldown of all of Zilean's other abilities
Q - Time Compression: Shoot a skillshot that hits the first enemy. The skillshot deals damage and slows champions. Repeated hits of time compression on a single champion increase the slow to a cap.
W - Time Flash: Zilean flashes forward in time, blinking a set distance in a targeted direction. Enemies in the area where Zilean flashes from, and where Zilean flashes to, are damaged.
E - Time Warp: A large area appears around Zilean that speeds allies, and reduces enemy movement speed. The effect becomes more intense the longer the ally or enemy stays in the circle.
R - Chronoshift: His current ultimate on live servers.
Champion Thoughts: Rather than being a boring mage that throws bombs every so often, I made Zilean a more mobile mage. W lets Zilean get in and out of fights while Q lets Zilean put consistent damage on an enemy champion. I believe making his E a AoE would be much more impactful in the game. It benefits everybody for Zilean to be able to land skillshots and place good Time Warps.
