Give Zilean a VU, and make it an event.

RookPusher··48 votes·1,739 views

Zilean's old and needs an update. I get that no one wants that before their own pet project, but here's a thought:

  1. Give Zilean a VU
  2. Release a series of "time altered" skins: Jarvan 1, evolved Gnar, Adult Annie, Young GP.
  3. Have Normal games pick from map skins in previous incarnations (e.g. winter map, season 1 SR)
  4. Have a game mode where the speed increases and decreases every 5 mins randomly.

While you're at it, fix the bear too. Both of them need attention lore, gameplay and character design wise.

Speaking as a Zilean main, Volibear does not deserve love or recognition.

Chrono-squad Ekko and Zilean. Make it happen Rito.

would be weird having multiple skin lines with time travel as the central theme, so maybe just pulsefire

As long as Velkoz gets more lines at least, I'm happy.

RookPusher8 votes

Fair, but Vel has one of the funniest - made me actually lol - lines in the game with "I find their elbows obscene."

I almost spit my drink out.

,,Creature appears to seek its maternal unit" is my favourite

I approve of this simply because i was saying earlier "man i'd love an adult 'I can fry you with the snap of my finger' annie skin that showcases how op she grows up to be"

So yes plz do. That game mode sounds annoying tho, what about this: a game mode that speeds up every time. Basically every tower/champ/epic monster kill speeds the game up 1 minute (think like pressing the FF button in practice tool.) it works on a meme level too. "summoners Rift but every objective speeds the game up" lol

See, now we're talking! I never knew the old man had such a fan base.

Guys, whats your favorite part of playing Zilean?

Speeding my ADC up so they accidentally step on a Cait trap or walk into a skillshot that normally would have missed them

My teammates crying out in chat 'TY TY TY' after I ult them. But when I ult myself is when the fun begins. http://imgur.com/qJ4FBBO

That aside, I LOVE Ulting myself, and rushing into a fight. Everyone blows their spells on me, and I come back like it never happened. Best Bait/Engage ever.

PARTY!!! owwwwww, our hips! XD

lol, though I like how Naruto and such do it where the older someone is, the stronger someone is, but at the same time...the more likely they are to fall over in pain or trip up for something silly XD

Anime, especially shounen genre in general, has a tendency to introduce a line-up of badass middle aged men/women and the broken OP tends to be grandpas/grandmas (or extremely young, because radical). I guess skill and strength is a linear progression (exponential even) in the world of some anime.

Maybe it all started with Master Roshi.

it's better than live actor stuff too because there's no need to worry about the voice actors growing out of the age group except in extreme cases XD

I'd love to see him get tied into the Ithica (however it's spelled) lore - he's not from the void or void related, but his old lore was that he lived in the clocktower, was obsessed with time, and chrono-phased himself accidently and watched his city fall without being able to do anything. It's suspected that he lives near the desert from Vel's color story or lore.

Itsbeghdev1 votes

Urtistan just so happened to be along Vel'Koz's path as he travelled Runeterra collecting information, but there's quite a lot of places untouched by the Void, so it makes sense that it would be close to Icathia, probably closer than most of Shurima. Urtistan's existence might not even be canon anymore since Zilean's current lore definitely isn't, though, and anyhow they should probably expand upon Icathia more through Jax and Kassadin; meanwhile Zilean should probably have some relationship with Ryze since they were both intimately personally affected by the Rune War--maybe they make common cause, maybe Zilean's time magic is powered by a World Rune and Ryze wants to put a stop to it, something like that. Also, we need clarification on a timeline of major events on Runeterra--like, at least, put the Ruination, the Rune War, and the fall of Icathia in order or something, that'd be nice lol

Ah, I had forgotten his city was actually named. Jax, Kass and Malz + the void champs makes a pretty full docket for the eventual void lore update, so its very reasonable that Zil won't get folded in with them.

There are quite a few champs that just kinda exist without being attached to the main lore areas (fiddle, shaco, zil, etc) Some have gotten lore updates (like fiddle) but most have not. I wonder if they're going to just sprinkle them in between the major lore updates or hit them all at the end.

They did this last year...

...err, will have done it last year ;)

Adult Annie - This makes me nervous... in SO many ways. Young GP - Wouldnt this be Traditional GP or something like it considering new GP looks kinda like Older original GP in which case im SO on... board.

3TWarrior2 votes

they probably won't change him too soon due to his gameplay update last year as the other posts put it.

that being said, it's funny that one of his original abilities would fit right into this meta and could easily be changed to accomodate fairness

He originally had an ability called Time Twister which started an AOE damaging stun that stayed in place for a while, though naturally it was WAAAAAAY too powerful

An ekko skin should be released with this.

I like this Idea, maybe they can do it something like this: 1.) Zilean VGU (An Update similar to that of Gangplank or Ryze) 2.) Time-based skins old & new are released such as Young Ryze, Young GP, Young Camille, etc. 3.) Special Reskin of maps such as The Original Twisted Treeline (2009-2012 edition), Summoner's Rift (Pre-2014 update) & possibly the Proving Grounds (which is now known as Howling Abyss). All complete with Special Items that were available at the time such as Atma's Impaler, Heart of Gold, Deathfire Grasp/Blackfire Torch, etc.

Have normal games where you play on a previous season. Zilean be a bro and let us use your time-machine magiks. Zilean

Riot did an Ask Riot article on older versions of the rift - sad to say, older versions don't hold up well these days. Files are missing, the code's been updated a few times and other issues make it not-so-simple to get a taste of that ol' (insert favorite season here).

It's about time he got a VU.
