Zilean

 is a Champion in League of Legends.

Story
Rising from the cracked, dried lakebeds of Urizan is a tower, shaped like a huge grandfather clock. Impenetrable and unassailable, there are no doors into it, nor any openings to climb or fly into.

There is no water or vegetation within a hundred miles of this structure, only the desiccated remains of what was once a beautiful flourishing lake, now destroyed by the ravages of war and the hands of time. This is the way he wants it, the man who constructed this tower out here in the middle of nowhere. He has no need of supplies. Has no desire for visitors.

Inside, Zilean tinkers with his clocks. They cover his workshop. Hundreds of them, maybe thousands. Some work; most do not.

He is obsessed with time. For he is both blessed and cursed by it. Blessed because he has discovered the way to manipulate time, making it move forward and back at his whims. Cursed because each time he does, he leaves a little piece of himself behind, doomed to see the world how it was, is, and eventually will be all at the same time.

That is why he lives here, in the middle of a drained, dead lake. When he looks out the window he can see it as it was, hundreds of years ago, beautiful and alive. But at some point he must look away, for watching it be destroyed over and over again for all eternity could drive even the most solid mind insane.

The Chronokeeper is never in a rush. He has all the time in the world.

Strategy
Teaming with stealthy players can make your time bombs more effective. To do this target your ally after he stealths with your time bomb and have him go near the enemies.

Another good thing he can do is double bomb someone. The most effective way to do this is to use your Time Warp first on them. After that Time Bomb, Rewind, Time Bomb.

Zilean can do suprising damage for a support character, able to slow enemies, rapidly doing basic damage and regularly using Time Bombs for extra damage. Chronoshift allows him to stay in a fight where another would die and can rapidly leave if necessary.

Recommended equipment are items with movement boosts, attack speed boosts, lifesteal, and Ability Power increases. Mana increases items are a plus, but cooldown reduction are not good as repeated uses of Rewind allow him to repeatedly use his abilities even Chronoshift, so long as Zilean has mana to do it.
