Neither Bard nor Zilean are noob playable champs.

Putting them mid well. Bard has the map control that actually likes running around from a vantage point like mid. Holding the lane would be the problem and finding time to get chimes.

Zilean has been a mid choice for a long time but you have to get lucky. If you aren't countered and you are good Zilean is great. Almost every assassin and long range mage fight is a massive losing battle for Zilean and every utility support that mains mid is better.
