In April my guide was outdated, have since updated for patch 4.13 :)

So I've been playing Zilean mid for a little bit and I had my own build of full ap but I decided to try this one. I didn't down vote but I have questions on your guide. My build consisted of a chalice for mana sustain, then rush Rabadons Deatcap for early burst dammage,then finish your Athene's Unholy Grail. The rest of my build is situationals Zhonyas or death fire depending on Kill potential or survivability, and lastly will of ancients or Liandrys torment for sustain or killing tanks.Why don't you build full ap with zilean? This guide lacks dammage early and late game and only reaches about 800 dammage per bomb at full build. Also when you follow this guide's skill order mid game your rewind cooldown is very long. And all you can do is double bomb and run away until your q Is up again. Why now max rewind second since it's very important for your bomb cooldown. Can you also do a match up page so we know when and when not too be aggressive in lane.

Me have some question about your build and Zilean in general OwO

Should I build Frostfang every time? Can I skip it? :3

Also I am looking for a mid champion that's easy to learn, what do you think of Zilean? (I don't main mid but I am looking for mid champion that I can pick up and play whenever I have to go mid)

I like your build I like getting two rings and then a ages but that's just my personal pref. Well anyway the video at the end made me tear up laughing at the times I (and other zillions) put a bomb on someone and walked away like a boss xD

Thanks for your comment. Well see I feel that Archangels is more of an end game item on Zilean and my build aims for consistent heavy hits from the start. Your right that your sustain would be fine mana wise but you will get the same suatain early game from your athenes along with a nice array of other stats that your archangels will be missing such as magic resist and cooldown reduction. With athenes (especially after the increase of 15% cdr to 20% cdr) we can max out our cooldown reduction sooner than later once paired with your morellonomicon and without sacrificing much stats in the process. The end result is over all more benifitial I find and even though the archangels upgrade provides a shield ability, again I just prefer to position myself better with hit and run techniques which Zilean excels at ^^

But I can see its uses in a more sustain orientated build, against a mid opponent you are having trouble with or if you are falling behind so I may add it to my list of situational items.

Hope I was helpful. :)

Hey i just started playing Mid with zilean about a week ago and have done pretty well but i was wondering wat you thought about starting with Mana Crystal + 2 hp pots and rushing Tear into archangels staff. i feel like this gives enough mana to sustain farming and harrass until you get blue and continues to get better and granting bonus ap even if you are losing your lane and cant afford big ap items. I usually go into Sorc boots and Torment after this and focus on a poke oriented build.
