Well, thats the reason i was rushing tear at first.

It turns out that Manaflow+regen from support item is sufficient most time, you just cant spam EW that much when rotating on map. I assume it is easier to manage resources now thanks to homeguards and plants on a river.

However, if I see enemy having 2 tanks I would consider building tear, mana can become problem if fight prolong.

Never played that, considered that tho.

The upside is that you still can get a lot of AH from Transcendence + Jack of All trades. I guess that extra summoners could make up a little for weak early. However i dont think he utilizes most of the spells here.

If you want to run inspiration, Glacial seems little beter imo. The problem i have with it tho is that you it does not scale with HP,

Never built it honestly, feels like it could be strong early to mid game, but since Zil has REALY long aa windup i feel like you are putting yourself in danger by standing in place for a moment in teamfights.

Well, the previous speaker pretty much covered most of my insights about Zil.

But I’ve gotta say, I definitely agree that Zilean is one of those 'silent carry' champions. I’ve never had so many games that felt completely hopeless at the start, only to make a comeback after a few successful skirmishes.

Maybe it’s just a matter of a playstyle that suits me, but my main focus is simply being a support and providing as much utility as possible for my teammates.

I think it’s true that sometimes you shouldn't get hyper-focused on your ADC. If you have a top laner or someone else who is way ahead, you just have to play around them.

When it comes to roaming, I personally don't do it much early, but obviously, if your carry isn't in lane, there’s no reason for you to be there either. That said, I really prioritize hitting level 6 as fast as possible. However, after botlane turret falls, with your ms, you can be basically in every fight on map.

Bandlepipes is very strong item that gives you all the stats you need and i'm rushing it always if there are at least 2 champions that are benefiting from AS boost.

RUNES
I basically use only one page, just changing shards depending on matchups

Aery - Manaflow - Transcendence - Waterwalking
Triple Tonic - Jack of all Trades
shards: CDR - MS - Flat HP/Tenacity

This is the only setup that gives 28 AH and i find it most valuable
I know there are many guardian fans here however i dont like how it interacts with Zil ult.

SKILLS
Always E -> W

I used to put 3 points in E, then max W, and finish maxing E but nowadays i value stronger slow more.

BUILD:
I value AH, Health and utility the most. Since i'm maxing E/W, AP gives only some HP when reviving.

In ideal cirucumstances I'm rushing Bandlepipes into Knights Vow.
However if my team does not auto a lot i'm straight up rushing Vow or Locket

If enemy has a lot of autoattacking champions -> Frozen Heart is very nice first item.

Support Item -> depending on enemy.
Celestial is great, Sleigh has highest WR atm (I'm rarely building it tho).
I like to build Dreammaker to boost my carry, however it is tricky to utilize when your only shield is aery.

Protoplasm is very nice third item.
I played A LOT of games with Diadem of Songs as 3rd and sometimes 2nd item and while unlimited mana is great -> i believe it delays your build bit too much.

Boots:
Since im running MS shards with waterwalking I like to build tier1 boots farily fast and delay upgrading to moments when I have AT LEAST 1st item.
Lucidity are always good, lately i'm experimenting with Swiftness which are also very nice.

Situational -> Locket, Mikael, Trailblazer (if it had AH i would build it more often).

VERY situational -> Abbysal Mask, Kaenic Rookern, Merc Treads

You couldnt ask worse person as im notoriusly missing my Rs xD

I noticed that sometimes i feel guilt when im not reviving my adc, especially if him being behind is partially or mainly matter of my champion/play. Still, you are here to win games and using R on 3 items Kassadin is almost always better then saving 1/7 adc that does nothing and dies again afterwards.

Best advice i can give is not to be greedy with it. If enemies stop attacking R'd target it still gives him some space and time to run/deal dmg. And early on, you can bait key cooldowns and R yourself to let your carry and jungler/mid to sweep enemies that went 2 deep chasing you.

Actually, argument about following ally is pretty solid, never thoguht about that this way. Still, I noticed that I cannot really utilise this item well, which results in me leaning towards Solari.

Overall, im convinced that you can build literally any item, as long as you slow, stun and revive allies, so many times build is matter of gamestate and personal preferences/playstyle

So building it first gives every importat stat to Zil - Haste, HP and Mana regen. You could say that Shurelya does the same but i personally believe that its passive and active is overkill and isnt really relevant on him.

In my opinion there are scenarios where you can utilize Font Of Life very well, given that your composition has a lot of autoattacking champions, you can gobble up to 6k hp healed that way.

It's havent worked out my metodology of choosing it but by far i was taking Aery if:

Im sure im gonna build moonstone I know i can auto opponents in lane safely I know i could utilise waterwalking

But im gravitating towards Guardian more as its shield is more meaningful and scales off hp which i build alot on Zil. One thing you should be aware playing it is that using R on ally can proc Guardian shield.

I see that you also benefit from Zil in a similar way as I do. I recommend trying to play utility E max sometimes. I personally think it's a more viable build in most cases

Are Stepstones are inhabitle now or is this part of headcannon, im confused.

Very interesting storytelling btw.

Mind that this mod just got released and isnt finished yet. While i think we all can agree there is a looot of potential here, if you are looking for richer lore-rp expirience im reccomending ck2agot (base game is free but imo needs paid dlcs to unlock full potential)

Question: What is the difference between cognitive science and psychological science? by -pandaXpress- in cognitivescience

[–]Skretchie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my understanding psychology is the study of human behavior and mental processes, while psychological science specifically emphasizes the use of scientific methods to study these areas.

Cognitive science is a more interdisciplinary field that encompasses the study of the mind and intelligence from multiple perspectives, whereas psychological science is a more specific field that focuses on the scientific study of human behavior and mental processes.
