Zilean Voice Over Ideas
I'm uncertain wether this belongs in Story, Art and Sound, or Concepts and Creations, but I thought I'd post some ideas on what special interactions Zilean could have with other champions.
In particular, I think Zilean could have some interesting and amusing interactions with champions who have been reworked, or undergone a major lore retcon. With Zilean's unique perception of time, he might remember alternate pasts relating to content that is now non-canon, so Zilean might remember when Galio was blue, and when Yorick had a lantern, etc. I know that's not really how his powers really work in the lore, and that it's slightly breaking the 4th wall, but it's a fun thought regardless.
Tragic backstory notwithstanding, I think of Zilean as League's kooky old grandfather, so these interactions are rather light-hearted.
So, taunting an enemy...

: "Swords for legs? Whatever shall we have next? Shot-gun knees?"
: "It would certainly take a lot of effort to move like that in heels. Hypothetically speaking, of course."
: "Laughter is the best cure for grief. You seem very thoroughly cured."
: "Cheer up, lad. It’s called a jolly roger, remember?"
: "Every timeline has a beginning, an end, and at least one fool with a hammer."
: "Your mother called. She’s getting tired of the silent treatment."
or
: "Somewhere out there, there’s a timeline where you and your sister get along just fine. I haven’t discovered it yet, but I’m sure it exists. Probably."
: deadpan sarcasm "You know the key to immorality? Fascinating."
: "You ought to see the Nasus whose brother locked him in a tomb for millennia. He’s not very cheerful either."
or
: "Do you know Jericho? He's a bird person too."
: "A crocodile this time? I don't like it."
: "You again?"
: "What sort of ninja throws his sword anyway? You’ve only got two!"
: "General Sion? Have you had a haircut?"
: "Hello there Jericho. How's the leg?"
: "At last, Noxus has vanquished its mightiest foe: a receding hairline."
: "You're taller than I remember."
: "Why aren’t you and Sion talking anymore? It’s so sad to see friends part ways."
:
: "You're a darkin too now? Fine!"
: "Beware Veigar! Geese are a dangerous enemy."
: "Urgh… at least in this timeline there’s only one of you."
: "It’s Mori by the way. In case you’ve forgotten."
: "So... that's what I'll look like when I'm old."
