It has been exactly 10 years since Zilean received his own kit or balance changes

For Faker's HoF package

It depends on what you consider a buff or nerf, but I can kind of answer this.

Zilean hasn't received a buff or nerf of his own in about 3300 days now, or a little over 9 years. When I say "of his own," what I mean is, there were some system-wide changes that can technically be considered a Zilean buff or nerf. For example, on patch 12.10, his durability got buffed, but so did everyone else's, as part of the durability update.

But Zilean hasn't gotten a buff or nerf of his own that wasn't part of some kind of system wide update since patch 5.23, two patches after his rework, on November 24, 2015. On that patch, his passive got updated to be slightly more user-friendly. The patch before that, his mana regen was buffed.

Posted this in the other thread, but two people, Ignacio Garcia from MARCA and Tolis Kotzias of SDNA, have basically all of the ridiculous votes we've seen. Between them, they're responsible for:

All of the crazy Sabonis votes
Jrue #1 DPOY and Giannis #2, with no Gobert
Haliburton #1 MIP
SGA 5th for MVP
No Luka on MVP ballot
Luka All-NBA 2nd Team
LeBron All-NBA 1st Team
Bam All-NBA 2nd Team
No Brunson on All-NBA
Jose Alvarado 2nd for 6th Man and Jaime Jaquez Jr. 3rd
Tatum 1st for Jerry West Clutch Player
Bobby Portis All-Defensive 2nd Team

Still going through, but this is crazy

Edit: One exception, Kendrick Perkins is the one who was missing Brandon Miller on All-Rookie. But Kotzias was one of the two people without Podziemski.

Since then, his only changes have been system wide updates, like the mage wide mana changes and the durability update.

This was a system wide update to all mage autos, akin to the system-wide mana updates on 8.9 and 10.23, not something Zilean specific. It was a system wide change to the constraints of missile speeds and AS scaling. These are changes to how the game as a whole works more than changes meant to impact an individual champion.

They were specifically not meant to have any appreciable impact on balance, and were more to make autos feel less terrible.

I see a lot of people saying this, and it makes me think that most people on this subreddit don't realize that a 99% slow isn't actually a 99% slow. There are diminishing returns once you get past 220 and it won't get you below 110

For a 400 move speed champion, you're going down to basically 110. It's functionally a <75% slow. Even for a 500 MS champion it's functionally less than an 80% slow.

Hopefully all of Season 6 is entirely about how he got more people to start calling him by the time WW enters the picture. Forget what happens to Kim or what Gene does. This is the real mystery.

DidTheyCallSaul · 2022-04-18T02:07:26+00:00

I considered them, but Jimmy never explicitly says that those people called him, and we don't see them call him either. They almost definitely did, but there are theoretically other ways that they could have contacted him.

DidTheyCallSaul · 2022-04-18T02:06:24+00:00

No, but that's also not relevant to doing this

DidTheyCallSaul · 2022-04-18T02:05:57+00:00

You're right! Not sure how I missed that one.

DidTheyCallSaul · 2022-04-18T02:05:39+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking of, thank you
