Who beats Zilean in League of Legends: Classic, who Zilean beats, and the Season 3 items, runes and masteries to run support, mid. Patch 26.17.
You are immobile and squishy. A grab kills you before Chronoshift matters.
Suppression holds you through the Chronoshift window and kills you after it.
Chronoshift is a direct answer to Requiem: he lands the execute and it does nothing.
Chronoshift undoes the kill his ult sets up, and the speed buff walks your team out.
Time Warp speed disengages her whole engage window.
Start:
Core:
CDR is everything. Ionian Boots plus Shurelya's keeps the bombs and the ult always available.
DFG Zilean: Rod of Ages → Deathfire Grasp → Rabadon's Deathcap → Rylai's Crystal Scepter → Void Staff
Two bombs on one target detonate together, and Deathfire Grasp turns that from a stun into a kill.
Support Zilean: Shurelya's Reverie → Aegis of the Legion → Rod of Ages → Rylai's Crystal Scepter → Zhonya's Hourglass
Time Warp both saves your carry and catches theirs, and Chronoshift makes an engage a free trade.
Quintessences of Gold are the Season 3 support economy - 1 gold per 10 seconds each, stacked on top of Philosopher's Stone. Double armor covers the poke lane.
0/9/21 Utility. Greed and Wealth are raw gold per second - on a support with no farm that is the difference between owning a Shurelya's at 20 minutes and not.
