Exactly ^.

People find AP Zilean good, I find it decent. I'm not saying it's not viable but it's just not your role to get kills. Ok cool, you get a pretty nice heal on your ulti but can you also support the carry while doing damage and/or running away from enemies? I don't think so. As AP zilean you will be either nuked in 1 second because you have barely health or defenses which is bad. There are many times I have escaped a gank of like 3 enemies because of my infinite amount of mana, cdr and defenses. And even more times where I and my carry got attacked by a whole team and still escaping because of mass slows and speeds.

The idea of support Zilean is to not let the carry worry about your well-being because you can survive easier than let's say the carry him or herself. So all the attention goes to your carry.

Also, boots should always be mercury treads against teams with decent CC. Any CC can fck you up, and you don't want that.
