Zilean is an excellent champion, overall. An excellent combination of mage (NOT ap carry) and support (NOT premade gold-item healer dumbo), combined into one champion who is also really good at ranged zoning.

Comparisons are pointless if one doesn't take into account the fact that Zilean is a mage. Karma better support? Karma cannot do the things Zilean can. Janna better support? Janna cannot bring people back to life. Nor push them to level 6 faster. Nor resurrect the ganker/jungler who comes for the 100% kill, but 100% death gank at level 6. Nor can they blackmail recalls with time-bombs like Zilean.

The pure fact that he can cast TWO of his spells TWICE, specifically: TWO time bombs and TWO speed changers (double fast, double slow, or fast and slow for him or allies) makes Zilean what he is.

He is not an AP carry, he is a behind-the-lines Mastermind. You don't like him? We don't care.
