Zileanaire's FOR FUN guide to AD Zilean

By Zileanaire
Who am I
Hey I'm Zileanaire, a high Diamond Zilean one trick.
I've been playing Zilean pretty religiously for the past 5-6 years and have been the rank 1 Zilean for the Oceanic region & top 100 world several times.
With over 2 million Mastery points across all accounts and thousands of hours invested, I believe I have enough authority on Zilean to teach it to you.

I am an "OG" and have been playing league since before the first new champion was released.

Whether you're looking to master Zilean or want to better understand how best to beat him, there will be something for everyone here.

Appreciate you stopping by, and if you want to know, or have me elaborate on anything, feel free to ask.

Disclaimer
Right so at first glance this will be a WTF moment, I get it. It does say OFF META and FOR FUN, but regardless I will say, this build should not be taken super seriously, even though it is very amusing to play into certain match ups, and do not take it in to a ranked games unless youre feeling a little chaotic or you just came off a bad loss and feel like ruining someone else's game for no reason.

If you're after an in depth guide on how to play Zilean legitimately, or to pull off this build more competently, have a look at my other guide teaching you everything you need to know about Zilean. Tips, tricks and ability use to win games and climb.
The Idea
Now that's out of the way let's go over why this is a very fun and thinking outside of the box way to play Zilean.

The idea is simple. Perma slow someone. Beat them to death. You can do the exact same thing as support Zilean with a "meta" build, the difference here is that instead of perma slowing an enemy and having your allies pick up the kills, YOU are the damage dealer and YOU take the kills. We play for us.

Side note: It is not a requirement but I will note that the Bloodmoon skin should be used for this build because it has the best auto attack animation.

How to play this random best build you've ever seen.
We get Navori Flickerblade because it reduced our basic ability cooldowns. What can we do with our basic abilities up more frequently? PERMA SLOW with stuns thrown in. Then begins the slow and painful death of whatever poor player is opposing you.
The build revolves around Zilean's E ability Time Warp. All you need to do is use E on the enemy champion, throw on a Time Bomb, reset everything with Rewind Bomb them again for the stun, slow them again when the stun ends by which time (if you've been auto attacking constantly during this time) You should almost have the entire combo up and ready to use again.

Providing you have basic game mechanics and are able to kite your opponent around, they shouldn't be able to catch you nor should they be able to escape you.

I will note, the damage is not that impressive, bombs are good for nothing but stunning, so all of your damage will come from auto attacking.
If you find yourself against someone like Riven or Renekton just to give two examples of champs that have multiple dashes or increased mobility, this build will either not work at all, or it will require greater game knowledge and a considerable skill increase on your part to pull it off well. This build thrives against champions that lack mobility.
It's also a good way to leave your opponent saying wtf is happening when they die to attack damage Zilean.. lol.

Go forth fellow Zilean abusers.. I mean enjoyers, and have fun!
