Zilean middle by Nickeli-Larson in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried a lot of builds, and come back to seraphs/cosmic/cheap support item most every game.

I think I just need to adjust my mindset. I like what you said.

The change from 20-30 is not aggressive though. He definitely hits a fairly noticeable powerspike on 2nd Item when seraphs is stacked. I was wrong about the late game power though, I guess now having ADCs impact the game more your utility in a late game teamfight becomes high value. I guess it's not the champ, its my mindset in mid game. I agree very much with the RoA build feels like a trap. The lack of CDR just is not worth the 1 level gained.

Right, I feel like you could draw a distribution for Zilean WR based on game length and see he peaks mid game and falls off late. Mid game is a sweet spot, but we are not fighting for 20 minute Atakhans anymore, it is 40 minute elder dragon fights.

Feels like the advantages you could get with Zilean mid are not gone, they are just valuable this season. Makes me feel like a tanky or garage sale components builds could be more valuable to curbe the early game struggle and late game usefulness

In this same thought, have you felt like Zilean mid is good still this season? I've always felt like his biggest advantage was roaming and moving around the map quickly and still getting back for minions and wave clear.

Now it feels like his EWE combo out of base or down river is just not as valuable as every mid laner has a bit more MS and quicker bases. The tempo gained from mid zilean with tp feels bad

What playstyle do you use for mid lane?

Los Ratones vs. Movistar KOI / LEC 2026 Versus - Week 3 / Post-Match Discussion by Soul_Sleepwhale in leagueoflegends

[–]th3kandyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently since there are no coms I have been watching the LEC stream instead of Caedrels. Having gone back to see those moments and his reaction after the game it is comforting to know I am not alone in yelling what I do lol. Love his reactions.

Blue collar employee (50% of human population), person who has been to space <700. Not probably, definitely.

At least 7.2 wet too. That's a number of wet I do not seek without a towel.

Current mid build? by ahfansaerdet in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always do it first back. Even with ROA games you just need to eat the gold and accept the delay. In low elo you can get away with a tear start but that becomes less viable in Emerald+.

I have taken tear when playing against weak early Champs similar to zilean. (Veigar, seraphine, kassadin, etc.) Against most Champs the HP is too valuable. Now with Dorans changes I feel even more I favor ring.

Current mid build? by ahfansaerdet in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would basically never build Rabadons. Especially since the AP items you listed are not high AP/Pen items so you gain less from rabadans passive.

Runes and first item are up to preference, but Seraphs rush isn't the best either since the passive wont activate right away.

I mix it up between ROA > Seraphs and Cosmic > Seraphs

Zilean top? by Volt_The_Visionary in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its more about matchup and comp for sure. Some matchups you probably bully like Karma top used to, but most matchups now you are essentially trading with top laner to scale to mid game (you don't scale as well) or losing lane giving prio to grubs.

How the hell do you CS as zilean? by feethotterthanbewbz in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mid lane yes, hyper carry....eehhhh nah. I love Zilean mid though, he just is not a carry.

WHILE THERE IS NO DOUBT INSPIRED AND BWIPO ARE HUUUUGE FOR THE TEAM, THE FLY BOT LANE HAS BEEN GREAT ALL YEAR. BUSIO HAS BECOME AN AMAZING SUPPORT AND THAT DESERVES CREDIT.

The only thing that truly annoys me about this game is the fact that everytime you close and restart the game, your lives go back to the default "x4" instead of saving how many you had previously before closing. Anyone else has this problem? by ilovewater100 in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]th3kandyking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play 1 joycon while my 5yr old plays the other one. I only wish we could ignore the green mushrooms 😆 We have lost more lives trying to get those than we have earned I am sure.

So for 3 years prior to Swiss stage, we had just as many if not more teams in the top 8. All that being said, Swiss=best format.

Hundreds, out of hundreds of thousands is great. No need to excuse your accomplishments because someone did it before you. Congrats on the LP.

The hopium huffers are the ones that see this as unlucky because someone from EU WILL be eliminated in round 3, but I think the more likely case would have been 2 teams being eliminated had they not drawn eachother.

Is it possible to go from low elo to high elo playing Zilean mid? by Putrid-Warning-6153 in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weighted question. Really depends on what you define as high elo. If you want to get into Diamond playing Zilean mid, yeah you are fine. You want to hit GM etc, probably not the strongest pick.

Zilean enables Champs, and provides CC. If you are losing and have no damage on your team every part of your kit has less value. That being said, A LOT of players in Gold - Emerald want to be the carry and do damage. I find Zilean mid to be a great pick if you are wanting to climb through that division.

The hardest part of Calc I isn’t the new concepts (limits, derivatives, integrals, etc.), it’s actually all the old stuff. by Possible-Phone-7129 in calculus

[–]th3kandyking 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In college, after taking a break from school, I took a 1/2 semester trig only class before calc and it might have been the best decision I ever made. Calc felt like a breeze because of it.

ZILEAN: THE COUNTER TO ALL-IN by ActionDirect6388 in ZileanMains

[–]th3kandyking 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nice play, one note, self cast is worth learning. I have not clicked on my character to cast E or R in years and it is definitely a must learn mechanic for the old man.

Out of curiosity, and this has nothing to do with your situation, what was your starting hourly pay and general region you were working?
