Which Zilean Guide?

[quote=Dremu]So I'm contemplating on getting Zilean, He seems like a fun support :3 But I'm not sure really how to play him. Any suggestions as to which guide I should use?[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Err... Mine? :D Sorry, not really much a Zilean guide writer can say here. Just pick the one you like? I definitely like Zilean as a support more then the usual AP stacking. In terms of support guides I'm conscious of... Mowen's guide focuses far more on support, while mine has more AP early game and is more structured.[/quote]

[quote=Mowen]Yeah I'm actually looking to rework my items sometime here soon... I have a lot of gameplay tips that I feel are still good though. I'm with Junsupport though that you should play Zilean like a support, and not focus on stacking AP. They even nerfed some of Zileans AP ratios too. I would like to emphasize that CDR is important to keep your ult on cd and make your rewing ridiculous. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer either here, pm, or on my guide. :)[/quote]

[quote=CoRpusCoLLoSsuM]Like Jun said, not really much I can say here haha.. But I'll say this.. While Zilean is a great support, he is most effective with a balance of AP and support stats like mana regen and CDR. To play Zil to his full potential, I would recommend building for these stats (in no particular order): Health, CDR, Mana/mana regen, and AP. I know this is a pretty wide spectrum, but you can build it somewhat easily in a "flowing" style that is easy to build. As far as actual build orders and strategies, you can check out my guide as well :D, but I would really recommend reading every one of the top rated Zil guides, as all seem to have some Great information on how to play Zilean. Mine is a work in progress (but still has a lot of info), and I'm actually waiting to move back to school later this month to keep working on it, because my internet sucks where I'm at currently.. I'll say one last thing, though. Zilean is a little more toward the Mage side of Mage/support than (for example) Sona or soraka or someone like that. In other words, he's not as much of a babysitter support, but more of an active DPS support (as strange as that may sound). Just PM me with any questions![/quote]

[quote=Max Carter][quote=Dremu] So I'm contemplating on getting Zilean, He seems like a fun support :3 [/quote] Fun and strong, revive, move speeds and slows... GOD I hate Zil more exp for the team revive stronger than GA speed buff to an ally catch an enemy speed buff to an ally run from enemies slow for catch you slow for his allie escape Bombs -> HUGE damage, on the double cast, early laning with him on mid, I get pwned... He deals a lot of damage, and he doesn't need to combo, the enemy is coming to combo? slow him, bomb, recover cd, bomb, run away -> half of his life --' Use him, he's a good champion, but IDK wich guide... but as people said, I think CDR, Mana regen and AP is awesome, so, you can get [[ionian boots of lucidity]] + [[deathfire grasp]] -> 30% CDR + 9% from masteries (9/0/21). Awesome damage with deathfire + bomb + bomb [[Archangel's Staff]] -> Mana regen, mana and AP. You cast a lot, 3 or 4 times per combo [:[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Y U no leik, Jebus? I was once advocating full support Zilean, but after realizing how incredibly bad he was at babysitting I came to the conclusion that sololane AP Zilean is the only thing that works.[/quote]
