- Zilean secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
- Zilean has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- Zilean has a greater attack range than most champions. Take advantage of this by poking with autos at max range whenever you get the chance, and back off to maintain that max range distance to maximize trades.
- Zilean has more mana regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.
Playing Zilean
- You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
- Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
- Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
Playing Against Zilean
- If you're able to match Zilean's speed, it can sometimes be beneficial to wait until his ultimate has faded before landing the killing blow.
- Zilean is fragile if a team focuses on him, but otherwise he's very difficult to kill. Commit to killing him as a team.
