Well i'd still go with your runes because i've never even bothered to dive into the rune page part of the game, just stacked c/d reduction runes awhile back, but i guess get as many speed runes as you can then look at your guide for the left overs ^_^.

Hmm midway through this comment i figured i could just make a champ build to show you lol.

here ya go

Thanks, Ive changed my mind and Phantom dancer is good if you never get caught. Ive added your build to my guide as an alternative items/summoner spells for those who want to try something different. Do you get different Runes/Masteries/Abilities? And since you tank all the crowd control why dont you get tenacity? And if there is any part of this guide about you that you dont like, point it out and I can change it. Thanks again for your contribution to my guide :)

Cool :D

Reason for Phantom Dancer (incase people might find it more viable): To me, the point of Zilean as a capturer is either to drop the turret to neutral AND/OR get it green. Most of the time I only have enough time (with a constant 677 movement speed (speed buff + E)) to get to the turret and neutralize it but not convert it to green. Because I think like this, I hardly ever get into conflicts unless they random run into me in the jungle. I keep an eye on the minimap while i'm channeling and if i know i can't cap it all the way to green, i neutralize it then speed away and go "poke" at another turret they aren't defending, then hopefully work my way back and "poke" the first turret just to keep at least one player on their team from joining the fight. I use Ghost and Flash along with items (i replaced ur spirit visage) Priscilla's Blessing, Shurelya's Reverie. So I have 2 EVEN MORE extra speed boosts, so unless they can actually stop me in my tracks, I'm never caught. Keep in mind with Boots of Mobility + Phantom Dancer + Force of Nature my constant speed (speed buff + E) is 677+ and then on top of that I hit 1 (Priscilla's) then 2 (Shurelya's) then in a worst case scenario Ghost, my speed is untouchable no matter how many slows I get on me. So for me survivability = speed. Got number one on my team again last night and went 0/0/0. I got flamed sooo hard xD.
Well, that's just a little clarification hopefully showing the good side of a Phantom Dancer if you know how to play and watch the minimap very well. While running around my eyes are only off the minimap to right click a turret, constant vigilance of the enemy champions is like M3ATL0V3R said the key to either being a complete and utter failure for your team, or the highest scoring player in the entire game.


More proof that your guide as amazing!

Thanks TheHeken I added your score to my guide and commented about your choice of items (Phantom Dancer) in my guide.

I used it and it worked. (First time commenting/voting sorry for double post).

Good guide, but i did my build a bit different, just maximized speed and it paid off :D
Was about to work on another phantom dancer just for the hell of it. Tagged top turret at the end and allowed us to win :D

Oh and i'm not lvl 30 yet so when i was like lvl 15 i just stacked a bunch of c/d reduction runes and i have a 2/0/21 or so mastery tree ^_^

Thanks guys, this is a new way to build Zilean so I probably dont have it exactly right. You definately should not get ability power early for zilean because none of his skills in the early and mid game really benifit from this when you are only getting time warp and rewind but late game is another story. I think I might be stacking too many defensive items and I could get some ability power late game for time bomb maybe? hmm ill try this out later.

I like this guide a lot! It is super informative and has good explanations. Even though I don't full understand why you don't get ANY AP. But otherwise, good job!

nice, thank you for going into detail on how to play dominion, not just a build. still a lot of people need to learn the basics. i hate playing a capturer because too many people complain you arent helping defend or team fight enough. +1

what ! :S
