Zilean is my favorite "support" by far.


He's not a support, he's a utility carry

Like Orianna.

Hence the ""

Riot still labeled him as "Support" last I checked.

Riot labelled Teemo as a support, what's your point?

Also, use inverted commas, not speech marks. Speech marks are for quotes, inverted commas tend to be for the emphasis you wanted to put on the word.

He's an interesting pick, if you know why to pick him he can be very good.

Combined with a high threat assassin or a meaty tanky DPS type if generally the best combo.

The exact same point I would make with Teemo actually - they are both better served by not playing strictly under their Riot-determined label. Apologies for the miscommunication.
I meant "" to point out you should take Riot's label with a grain of salt.

Zil might be a support simply because he has some awesome supporting spells, but that doesn't mean he is a support as in the more commonly accepted stereotype of a 0cs aura-building character that will duo in bottom lane.

Of course, I've never tried playing a full aura-stacking Teemo, so hey, maybe it is awesome.

Perhaps you can shed some knowledge? Besides the teammate picks you have already stated, what would be some other good examples of why or when to pick him? Are there any situations where I should be like "Holy ****. It's Zilean, it's gotta be, it's perfect?

Vayne, due to her short range and limited survivability, paired with her assasin style of play. Zil+Vayne=best friends. remember i saw a pro team stomping with the setup.

Generally also Offensive supports in the bot lane are also good to sum up for the missing damage(zil does not have the highest burst in the game, so pair him with a support lux/vayne bot and it's gg)
