Zileans Hair/Beard - Could be a Flowing Magnificence

I know that Zilean isn't the only old champion in dire need of an update, but damn his hair annoys me.

I love his kit and character, but with the release of effects like Cassiopea's tail and Zoe's hair, it makes me yearn for Zilean to get a good haircut. As fun and amusing as he is, Zil just looks too wooden and stiff. Honestly id play him more, but the visuals reaaly bother me - i'm sure many are the same.

Imagine how cool he would look with a flowing long beard trailing in the wind. It would really add too his "wizened, yet immensely powerful old time mage" thematic.

This isn't a call for a full VGU - his kit and playstile are great, just for someone in the animation department to give him a little shampoo and conditioner to get his beard flowing in the wind, as all good beards should.

(also the can't killean the zilean dance would be bloody ripper)

To be honest i used to play Zilean back when he was point and click bombing machine the reworked his kit and now it feels kinda of okay. What i dislike about him is the fact that he is a walking item 3026 and i dont like it.I think as a Real TIme Wizard he needs more impact in the teamfights somthing diffrent from Q+W+Q and run and wait to ult the adc or who ever need it.His bombs are fine, rewarding for skill but his other spells need more attention, he has a great theme and i think i giant time bubble for his R would look epic.

And i totaly agree with you about the design one of the first skins i got was Time Machine Zil and i was exited to go in game nad play him and it turned out it was just a green coat and some box in front of him.And the thing that bothers me most beside the hair and beard are the arms that stay strechet all the time it looks so weird i hope the give some attention to him cuz the Time Wizard idea is realy unique and can be epic.
