Her black shield negates your q stun so make sure to ban her in most games
Samira
She has a 360 windwall although its less annoying than morg black shield, should still consider banning her or avoid picking zilean into her
Blitzcrank
Just stand back in the lane and let the wave push towards your tower or else he will hook you and you cant do anything.
Leona
Her engage is strong but its avoidable if you e yourself or your adc before her e hits. Stand back in lane and dont unnecessarily step up.
Lulu
Dont waste your mana on poking her or her adc. Her shield is enough to mitigate your poke.
Karma
She has a strong early game and Zilean has a weak early game so stand far back in lane. I reccomend taking mr rune shard into this matchup.
Yuumi
Depends on what your ADC is and what the enemy ADC is. If your ADC is Lucian or Draven make it so yuumi and her adc cant play laning phase.
Pyke
The same case with Blitzcrank
Alistar
you beat him lvl 1 but after that his engage is great so beware.
Braum
somewhat an easy matchup
Bard
Bard will roam a LOT. So take advantage of that by killing his ADC
Yasuo
WINDWALL
Nautilus
Every support that have hooks and are strong early game are all very good against Zilean.
Rakan
He has a decent laning phase but when it comes to teamfights hes really good. Hard cc is the counter to him but your hard cc is very hard to land against him so you will have a rough time dealing with him.
Zyra
Take mr rune shard and just try to survive laning phase
Xerath
Take mr rune shard and just try to survive laning phase
Vel'Koz
Take mr rune shard and just try to survive laning phase
Taric
Use e to avoid his stun
Galio
Has a decent engage but other than that its just a skill matchup
Thresh
The same case with the other hook champions although hes a little bit easier to manage
Sona
She has better poke and sustain, better early game and just as strong scaling as Zilean
Soraka
Avoid her silence, it can mess up your double combo
Janna
She has better poke and your poke will just be negated by her shields. You do outscale her
Jhin
Has amazing follow up, decent range, and his passive is really nice with your e. You can also make it easier for him to hit ults with your e.
Draven
You just e the enemy adc or support and stun them then e draven for a guaranteed early game kill if they disrespect your all in potential.
Miss Fortune
If you can hit multi double q stuns MF can follow up with her ult
Caitlyn
Good follow up and good range
Ashe
Her passive makes it easier for you to land your double bomb combos
Ezreal
You both scale pretty well
Samira
Samira needs a hard engage support not Zilean
Vayne
You both scale pretty well
Jinx
Jinx late game is a monster. All you have to do is permanently e her so she can kite and rundown enemies
Xayah
Zilean dont synergises well with xayah
Ziggs
He wants to shove lanes, you want to play safe and scale ziggs is better of with a roaming hard engage support.
Twitch
Even though you both have weak early games you can catch enemies off guard with a simple twitch q + zilean e combo so you can surprise enemy
