I don't know, it seems like I'm the only one that doesn't like Blood Moon Zilean.
It doesn't really match the Blood Moon gang of 
and
Sure, Zilean hasn't had a skin in a while. (I mean, a REALLY long while) but for me it seems like a waste of a blood moon skin when the opportunity could have been used on someone else who actually fits the scheme! (Like 
or 
)
Edit: Yeah, the skin is pretty cool, but I'm upset about the Idea of a Blood Moon Zilean.
Or 
Plus I thought Blood Moon set was done? We got the whole team? (DOES THAT MEAN THERE IS HOPE FOR MORE POOL PARTY AND ARCADE SKINS!??!!? DUN DUN DUUUUN!)
I think it looks cool but I don't get it either why he's got Blood Moon.
It's not worth the 4 year wait, to be honest.
It's nice to see some effort to rectify the time gap between releases, but if Riot says they want the next Zac skin to be worth the wait, that should apply to every champ waiting just as long or longer for a new skin.
Why blood moon zilean instead of Diana????????
I agree with you Blood moon isn't the best fit on Zilean, but that being said the skin looks very nice imho. But hey that's just it, opinion. To each their own. Cheers mate.
the bombs look like some crap from Starwars, it's a nice skin but just wouldn't be as good as a Bloodmoon , 
, or 
skin.
It kinda reminds me of Atlantean Syndra which ended up disappointing everyone.
I loved the skin, but I did think the same thing that he does not belong. But the art work looks real good, and I am happy he got a new skin, but the theme kinda was off
Great thing he is getting a new skin, bad thing is that Diana doesn't get a Blood Moon skin despite being a champion based on the moon.
I agree. it really doesnt fit the bill in my opinion
I mean the skin is nice and all but really. I think he was the last person who would fit the theme of blood moon skin line.
Plus is it just me or does the skin theme not making sense with him get even worst when you hear his voice attached to it :/
I thought the Blood Moon skins were only supposed to be for Akali and Shen since it had to do with their lo- ...oh wait.
If there were going to be more Blood Moon skins, I think it would have been better if they were for Ionian champions since it fits their theme more than Shadow Isles champs, and plus, I believe it should be a punishable crime to influence people to play Kalista.
I don't understand why everyone needs one now though. I mean I guess they look cool (except for Kalista - she needs to burn), but having this skin line extend outside of Ionia this far, and this often is wierd.
Please take any and perhaps even all of this with a grain of salt. But, if what Sukishoo alluded too earlier is at least partially accurate, and I believe it is, then the new theme for Blood Moon appeals more to an age old tale that every champion could have.
"Fear the wilds for you may be ensnared by the Spider Queen!" "There is a great price for vengeance...and a greater price for betrayal." "The Warden still haunts those very Isles." "The Eye of Twilight watches us all to ensure balance among all else..."
I agree that Kennen, all said and done, should have a Blood Moon skin, but when I think about Zed from a lore perspective it doesn't make as much sense as it does from a theme perspective. It would be cool to have a Blood Moon Zed skin, but can we break things enough to make that work? Wouldn't it be too obvious to have a Blood Moon Zed skin (Lunar Eclipse Zed? ...maybe...no? I have no idea.)? Should we really want Shen (Akali, and Kennen) all buddy buddy pal pal like he didn't kill Shen's father?
I'm not saying it doesn't make sense to have a Blood Moon Kennen or a Blood Moon Zed. Those would be cool. I'm just saying that from a "What story do these champions have to tell?" perspective we're (surprisingly) better off with Blood Moon Zilean for now.
The story of an immortal man with a past as shrouded in mystery as the battle that "created" him. How many lives has he touched in the shady bars of Piltover? His role in establishing Bandle City? Just what did he advise Azir to do all those years ago? How many has he saved from Rek'Sai's ancestors? And perhaps a very plausible question to mull over, who was the wise man that came to Ionia to suggest an order based on preserving balance...such that their civilization does not fall to ruin?
Zilean could be many things...there's really no telling. You can do a lot as an immortal...or at least I would imagine, haha.
Edit 4/8/2015: As for the argument for all the "Champions that should have gotten a Blood Moon Skin", maybe something better is in the works. Also, you have to think about the "Age Old Tale" perspective. Just what warped and twisted stories do they have to tell? I will admit that many of them have a very interesting lore to back that up, but still....right now I can't see how that would beat an immortal man shaping the very world the other guys live on.
I actually agree. I don't like the skin. I was really hyped about Galaxy Zilean and Celestial Zilean and stuff - those skins had a lot of upvotes, and then this. WHY?? I mean seriously. Listen to the community rito. People have been craving for a new Zilean skin for a while now and this skin is a disappointment >_> Definitely not getting it... Guess another 4 years of wait for another skin, meanwhile i'll be using my Groovy Zilean. meh.
ALSO, the skin doesn't actually fit in. I don't think that Zilean and Blood Moon work together.
How did Riot fall on Blood Moon line for ZILEAN of all champs???
They really couldn't envision a better skin for him than this after FOUR YEARS!!!
How upsetting.
much more options than him lmao
I'm just going to outright say it as well
I honestly felt like they just needed to make a new Zilean skin asap and took the first skin line that popped into their mind and slapped it on him. After 4 years I expected something better.
Personally idc whether it's Blood Moon, I'm just a sucker for that swirly-metal-thingy aesthetic. They should put a non-ecludian (not even gonna bother trying to spell that right) swirly tunnel inside his clock from both sides and then it'd be perfect.
?
I rather have this champion deleted from the game.
Waste of RP. You buy a skin for a champ that should never be played outside of AI games.
It's a good skin, but I think it should have a voice filter applied to it. Zilean's natural voice doesn't seem very menacing, but the skin does look "evil." I have no idea why Riot would choose Zilean for a Blood Moon skin, but they've made it out work rather well... I'd prefer Zileanaire or something else, but it's not bad.
I like the skin, but I think Zilean needed a VU more than a skin. His model is atrocious.
I love the skin, NOT because its looks better than the other BLOOD MOON SKINS. But because it looks better than Zileans OTHER SKINS.
I think it fits perfectly well into the theme. His Q particle effects especially makes up for it too.
