Extreme

This Guy, especially if he's good, will ruin your day if you're not prepared. He has all the stuff that ruins Zil into one champ. Don't bother trying to stun him if he's near your minions, and don't stray far from the tower, or he will make your screen black and white in seconds. (Depends of skill of Yas)

Introduction

As many of you know, Zillean is a Support. However, he can be very useful in many ways. Mid is not one of them. I'm teaching you how to do it anyways. As a Level Six Zil, highly skilled bronze three, I'll teach you everything I know about Zil mid, so you can die less playing him in mid.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
Buttload of CC.
Speedy AF .
Does lots of damage if ahead.
Ult makes burst useless at times.

Cons:
Very Squishy.
Terrible Early Game.
Every meta champ now pretty much counters him.

Understanding Abilities/Combos

Q: Throws a time bomb that has a good AP scaling.

W: resets cooldowns (Besides ult) by ten seconds.

IMPORTANT: If you use Q, than use W to refresh it, and have 2 bombs on someone at once, it stuns in an area.

E: you can speed yourself or an ally up, or slow an enemy down.

R: Puts a rune over your head that lets you come back to life if killed with it on you. Understanding it's duration is important.

COMBOS:

Basic Combo: Q-W-Q-AutoAttack: This gets your thunderlords proc off and does some good damage.

Ensured Combo: E(on enemy)-Q-W-Q-AutoAttack: The E Helps you land the combo.

Full Combo: E(on enemy)-Q-W-Q-AutoAttack-E(on enemy)-Ignite(if possible): This is meant to kill. Use it only in lane or for 1v1's. Auto to finish them off if you don't kill them with this.

Farming

Zil has some of the worst farming ever. Just try your best. Until you get some levels, farming is going to be almost non-existent.

Teamfighting

Stay a moderate distance behind or in the middle of the team, and try to get the good stuns off. If your carry is about to die, ult them. Spam q and e as much as possible to give your team more mobility and damage. You'll look really cool if you save your carry, so make sure to do that.

Conclusion

If you are looking to have some fun, (people in league don't really like that but whatever) AP zil is right for you. Just don't play him mid in my ranked games. :P
