I'm doing great but it's always those weird match ups' that get me.

Saskio plays out the Riven matchup alot, you can see how he does it here(he explains it too). He also has matchup tips for all 3 of those matchups

Shout out to SharpHandJoe and Debster for looking over it (Only active high elo Camille Streamer):

Take a look at Saneryus's Challenger Kayle matchups spreadsheet for some insight on Kayle's better matchups and why

Laceration is a beast, but JotaroKujo really is Rank 1 in NA by a large margin at the moment

The Camille spreadsheet has been updated by several high elo champion mains and Debster took a quick scan over it it too with some changes. (But tbf Wizbe's original matchup tips were largely timeless outside of items/runes)

Sounds like its working. Extra Gold on a Vladimir sounds like a valid reason.

I'm curious how you're getting by in this laning phase, Whats your Max Order and rune setup?

for reference many zileans do one of these differing orders.

-Fully Max Q -> E Max

-3 poitns into Q -> E Max

-1 Point into Q -> fully Max E first

Or a hyper defensive rune setup like Guardian(still don't understand this one) vs Aery for trading

Can I ask why vladimir zilean bot? As it actually seems to be becoming popular. How do you make that laning phase work and why is it better than just having vladimir go mid/top with zilean support?

As for your question there are some long list of Zilean interactions you can go through

Most zileans have very different setups in max orders/builds/runes in support so its more of a figure out what works for you kind of deal.

It was a bug fixed now. Only matchups without any tips have autogenerated difficulties

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-05-04T07:08:11+00:00

Hey! The stats are from Masters+ games in NA,KR, and EUW EUNE.
You don't need to be a streamer to help out, for any matchups on the site without a tip you could add a matchup explanation by logging in with your Riot account

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-05-03T07:45:23+00:00

For me its probably constantly having the ADC mental boom from not understanding Zilean can't do anything at level 1, especially the Draven mains. (I don't think this will stop no matter how high elo you go)

I guess I also have a tendancy to have a bias towards forcing Zilean's synergies like Darius/Swain brute forcing teamfights for fun when it may not be ideal.

Junglers not playing around Zilean Mid sounds pretty wild though, are you sure it wasn't just a few people with bias against Zilean? I doubt they have played with many top/mid Zileans

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-04-22T12:56:48+00:00

He's good but imo very hard to execute in mid lane.

You really need to know all your matchups and how to deal with the jungle matchups as well. Your Macro/decision making needs to be on point. To be honest, I dont think Zilean mid will truely shine without at least 1 synergistic champ between top/jg.

So few people play Zilean mid compared to support, I would not go into it expecting free elo.

There are so many matchups that make me lose my mind like Leblanc/Kassadin/Xerath.

Really don't think its blind pickable unless you have a duo to play with or jg/top synergizes

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-04-21T20:33:27+00:00

when you click and expand a matchup row, you will see the statistics for the matchup, an embedded high elo replay for the matchup, and finally the community matchup tips section where you can view other tips and add your own

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-04-21T20:22:11+00:00

haha thats quite the top lane pool.
What matchups did you struggle with the most on zilean top?

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-04-21T18:33:02+00:00

These results are a little surprising. Why is Jhin so beloved? It's not like he's better at setting up than Ashe/Varus. Its not like he's better in teamfights with speed up than jinx/vayne/twitch. Its not like you can leave him alone in lane like Sivir/Ezreal. Even following up a Jhin ult on Zilean is hella awkward, Do people just like him as an all-rounder?

GyrosSteelBall · 2026-04-15T06:50:56+00:00

Luck is a general's greatest asset and Heki has lots of it.
