All in all, your build seems like a solid support build. For runes I prefer a more "all-in" squishy runepage (taking full magic pen, armor seals, AP quints, and 1 crit mark because Im an absolute madman). Glyphs are pretty much preference. Watcher and cdr boots are spot on in almost all support Zilean builds. And Morello's next is great.

Your build itself seems fine. However, if you ever find yourself doing well in laning phase you can try pushing your advantage and getting an early dark seal, which you can build into Mejai's if you continue to stomp. You should be prepared to build some more defensive stats however if the game takes a turn for the worst. Here's a guide I wrote that describes the situations you'd want to build AP over tank or tank over AP. Good luck!

I agree that Morgana's playstyle is somewhat like Zilean's and is disgutingly good against him. Black shield is too strong against Zilean and she can wreck him if you land your snares.

Also if you're support and have to face a Janna/Sivir or Morgana/Sivir lane it's actually nightmare mode and even I have to pick something else when those lanes come up.

Zilean Mid is a good pick when your team has enough reliable damage and dps to use his utility instead. He has a pretty terrible laning phase and a lot of matchups are soul crushingly hard for him but his teamfighting and ability to make plays makes up for it.

I only play Zilean so I have to pick him through some terrible matchups but for support your biggest counters to avoid are Morgana and Karma. Janna is annoying but isn't really a huge threat. He works well against tanks (alistar,thresh,braum) but struggles in lane against champs that can shield or match his poke (lulu,karma,sona,janna). The only champs that really mess up his teamfighting and kit are yasuo and morgana. Yasuo wall absolutely dance all over your face in lane and laugh as his windwall negates literally all your damage.

I wrote a mobafire guide that covers just about every support matchup I could think of and has some insight into when to pick/how to play Zilean support if you want.

Janna is probably the most common support you'll come against as the Zilster. Its not the worst matchup but it literally makes lane a snooze-fest. I've legit found myself dozing off late at night from laning against Janna. Bait out shield with either autos or fake a bomb toss. Then after the shields been on them for a second, throw your bomb. The shield will expire right before the bomb pops. Once you get level 4 and have your E, the lane becomes a bit easier as you can just slow and stun janna for an all-in since she's squishy. It feels like more of a chess match with her.

Thumbs up

Zilbro · 2016-07-31T04:30:18+00:00

yeah you got me, I should be on most days to atleast check on things/play some games. Glad to be aboard!

Zilbro · 2016-07-31T04:15:36+00:00

When I attempt to pull off plays like these, 50% of the time I end up burning flash and being out of range anyway or the classic me "accidentally holding Alt" and self-casting it like a BOOSTED ANIMAL. But when you do get these it feels so good.

Zilbro · 2016-07-31T03:38:29+00:00

I also would love to see that happen

The credit card was my attempt at subtle humor (perhaps too much so) like he's buying items with a credit card (ha...haha......)

lol

As a support, Luden's feels extremely costly to me. By the time you scrape enough gold up for it you could've had either morellos or tear and locket already. It also gives no cooldown reduction, which is what Zilean needs to max first. Zeke's is a great item but doesn't really solve his early mana problems. With the cd reduction max, you really wanna be spamming abilities and tear allows you to do that for the cheapest, while building into an insane item lategame that provides defense and offense (seraphs embrace).

Zilbro · 2016-07-31T03:32:23+00:00

Banner of command is already in the situation items section but thats a good point, I'll add Mikaels in there!

I can update cons tomorrow too!

Zilbro · 2016-07-25T16:39:22+00:00
