He means Zilean becomes dead weight if your team is loosing laning phase because he doesn't offer much support or damage wise to help your team win teamfights, the only thing he has is he can help your allies keep up somewhat in levels with his passive. If the enemy team has at least 1 solid item over your team there's just not much he can do support wise (or damage wise) to try and help compensate for it like another support could thanks to their shields/heals.
