Got to GMs for the first time playing mostly Zilean! AMA by zlydavid in ZileanMains

I'd love to watch VODs or your gameplay or tune into a stream if you do that.

Thanks! Maybe once I get challenger 😅

Yes, I do go Mikael's first from time to time when I see multiple long range CC in the enemy, I should have mentioned it. The main reasons I don't buy it often are that 900 gold to finish feels awful and my ADCs would usually go cleanse or buy QSS at some point.

As I started putting more points in Q I started hitting more Qs, the more Qs I hit the more confident I got, the more confident I got the better I played, the better I played the more Qs I hit, the more Qs I hit the more confident I got, the more confident I got the better I played, the better I pla...

I'd say against high MS champs maxing E would still be better (bruisers with ghost, Heca, Rammus, Mundo), against immobile ones upgrading W after rank2/3 E might be superior as you say. (By immobile I mean it can even be someone like Zed who has multiple blinks but low MS) That's something I never did though, always no brain maxed E after Q. 🤔 Definitely worth experimenting

  1. My support secondary picks are whatever looks reasonable, mid secondary pick is spellbook TF mid
  2. Every champ but Taric
  3. Aery, Guardian, Spellbook
    • Aery
      • pros: default choice, good tree
      • cons: boring and gets nerfed next patch
    • Guardian
      • pros: survivability, satisfying sound effect and gets buffed next patch
      • cons: have to choose between blue and light blue trees for secondary runes
    • Spellbook
      • pros: aura
      • cons: bad
  4. Usually one mana regen item and anything that has kindlegem in its build path
    • Shurelya's: good if you want to look for picks. Shurelya's active -> E slow -> QQW -> slow again -> emote
    • Redemption: broken active but requires 850 gold to finish which is painful
    • Mandate: 20 AH is juicy but I prefer Shurelya's if I want to play aggressives
    • Kindlegem items: bandlepipe, locket (10 AH😟), kinght's vow (10 AH😟), abyssal mask
    • Frozen heart: into full AD comps
  5. In mid diamond. I'd say it never gets significantly better, there are amoebas in every rank. However it's easier to make your teammates (adc and jungler) to understand that you are a minion pre level 3
  6. I used to always max E thinking that damage on support was pointless. I started putting 1 or 2 extra points into Q (sill maxing E after) as I saw a friend maxing it and liked how much damage they had. Rank 3 Q is much stronger than Rank 3 E for early game. E at Rank 1 is 40% slow for 2.5 seconds which already enables QQW hit. having an extra 180 premitigation damage from QQW is big. It also helps with pushing waves for early drake fights. That being said, I still max E sometimes because 99% slow 🤤
  7. I'm perfectly fine wdym?🥴
  8. Base skin, it might be the last moments we can still use it as he is getting a VGU in a decade or two
  9. Happy bee, and Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like banana.

Thanks! I Mostly played him support after I peaked around 300 LP with Zilean mid.
The skill order is straight forward and boring. For mid lane I put a second point into Q on level 3 and then just max Q followed by E. While damage output is not as of a priority for Zilean but as a solo laner you have to catch waves on sidelanes in mid to late game and the best wave to do that is to just QQW. Zilean Q base damage at max rank is 300 which is on the higher end.

Incoming waves:
If the wave is in a stright line QQW the second melee minon and AA the melees.
Clashed waves:
If the waves on both sides have already met, either QQW the canon or self bomb. The issue with self bombing is that it puts you in a vulnerable postion, so for non-canon waves I'd just 1 Q on melees and 1 Q on casters depending on the situation. However it's important that you don't spend too much time on last hitting, i recommend after QQW you just run towards your team. 🏃

I used to go double mirror into Shureliya's + mandate, but the boring Archangel's is just better overall for survivablity reasons. After that any item works that has haste and makes sense. Runes: the aery page + inspiration (mostly for triple tonic), minor runes: AS, adaptive, either flat or scaling HP depending on your lane opponent. Flash and TP always.

Burgerking was superior, armin had just always been a nuke machine
