Yes he does.

He provides a unique and difficult to deal with dynamic where one champion can go berserk.

Very strong.

Or, you can bait your enemies into focusing something and beat them up while they do it.

Also strong.

He's a situational wildcard. I'd rather have a zilean with me in a premade then in soloqueue though. Most Zileans I've seen in ranked (both on my team and against me) have faltered when it comes down to using their ult on the right person at the right time.

In no way is he OP, but he is really good.

Play against him in ARAM and prepare to lose :x


EDIT: Old sig is still showing. :(


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)

He's not OP. Just viable, but people tend to not know how to play him or against him.


1. Mana-management is really important on Zilean.
Time Bomb costs a fair amount of mana, and it's very tempting to spam it whenever it you - But you have to learn to be conservative if you want to do well.

2. You're suppose to push your lane with Zilean.
Use your Time Bombs to do a portion of your last-hitting so you can recall enough that enemy harass is meaningless, and so the enemy loses a hefty amount of their creep kills to their turret.

3. Run away asap if you use your bombs to harass.
What people who fight Zilean tend to NOT do a lot is actually attack him after he uses his bombs. They go "Oh know! I'm going to take damage, must flee!" But, if they do stay and attack, they'll find Zilean can't really amount to much in terms of sustained combat, and be able to actually trade harass.

-If you're solo'ing against Zilean, bum-rush him after he plants his bombs. He can't do anything for the next 5 seconds, so don't be afraid, you can't do anything about the bombs anyway.

4. Early game, you're an AP nuke, your passive, Heightened Learning, boosts your team's leveling rate, opening up room to can gain a level advantage, encouraging you to finish the game quickly.

Late game, you're a support. You can plant bombs on melee-allies, allowing you to deal damage from a distance, and Chronoshift is how you save the day.
