Zilean Counters

Searching for dependable Zilean counters? The figures below are pulled directly from current ranked Support games, not guessed from a tier list. At the moment, the toughest matchups for Zilean are LeBlanc, Taric, and Shaco, where his win rate falls furthest beneath his overall average. LeBlanc is the biggest problem: Zilean has won only 44.6% of 110 games logged against her. On the flip side, Zilean holds the upper hand against Zoe, Mel, and Swain, which are good picks to aim for during champion select.

Every card lists Zilean’s win rate in that matchup along with the number of games it’s based on. A result drawn from tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are assigned from the win rate itself (under 48% is Hard, over 52% is Easy). They’re meant to make scanning easier and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and higher in every region, on patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so the rankings shift as the meta does.
