I like Borrowed Time - it's very interesting. How does it interact with Temporal Fold and Time Warp, though?

I like the mechanic of Time Bomb, although I dislike that the damage has been overall nerfed quite substantially. Double-bombing now deals 120 / 180 / 240 / 300 / 360 down from 180 / 290 / 400 / 520 / 640. This is a HUGE nerf that isn't at all compensated (Time Warp is as single target damage over time; Zilean already has some of the weakest support damage once mid-game hits and "moving some of his only, AOE presence into single target power" will kill him, and I don't see what he gains).

Temporal Field should really just grant allies cooldown reduction, not basic-ability-only cooldown reduction. Most basic abilities have such a low cooldown Temporal Fold won't be worth using, and thus it predominantly won't be used except in abuse-cases.

Time Warp's damage over time seems tacked on, and I'm not feeling it. Perhaps steal a hint of Nasus, "Zilean slows the target enemy champion's movement speed by 35% and increases damage against them by 10% for 5 seconds. The slow and damage amplifier increase over the duration."

I honestly think that Temporal Fold and Time Warp could do with being thrown in a blender and have two variated abilities pulled out. Perhaps make Time Warp - "Target ally gains attack speed, movement speed and cooldown reduction for 5 seconds." and make Temporal Fold something that works against enemies.

His mana costs scale too quickly (a problem with his current kit, and something that most modern/revamped supports don't have). His cooldowns are also too long given that he doesn't have Rewind anymore (Borrowed Time only works on one ability).
