Countering Zilean Support: Essential Tips
Strong Counter Picks:
- LeBlanc
- Sona
- Zoe
- Janna
- Pyke
Effective Lane Strategy
- Target Zilean directly - he's very squishy and easier to kill than the ADC
- Track his Ultimate (R) cooldown - engage aggressively when it's down
- Bait out his Time Bomb (Q) before engaging - this removes his main CC threat
- Lock him down with CC when his Ultimate is up to prevent self-casting
Mid-Game Tactics
- Catch him while clearing waves alone
- Avoid grouping tightly to prevent multi-champion stuns
- Coordinate team fights when his Ultimate is on cooldown
Key Power Spikes:
- Level 2: Increased kill pressure with Q+W combo
- Level 6: Significant survivability boost with Ultimate
- Late Game: Very short Ultimate cooldown with max CDR
