About Zillean and Volibear. They have no relation in lore, never met each other. The thing that connects them is argument between league devs. Zillean's creator did not like the idea of armored bear. Just a fun piece of trivia. Also... Day 29 of asking for reworked on-hit skarner in honor to the OG on-hit skarner guy
Specifically, the employee Riot Zilean was opposed to armoured bears. A bunch of things in the game are named after employees, Zilean being one. Ryze and Tryndamere are as well, as were Shurelya and Randuin.
zilean is the epitome of making your opponent want to uninstall. he's almost unkillable in the mid-late game when he has his haste items and can turn a bunch of fights because of his ult. the worst part is he just runs away so it's not even like he can't die because he's tanky. he can't die because you can't catch him. extra points if you emote, taunt, or laugh with zilean the mental boom comes even faster
Craziest part is Zwag does none of the advanced zilean things like throwing the bomb on the minion your auto is flying towards to insta boom. Or placing bombs on your own cannon to deny or punish. Or Place both bombs on the floor and grab one, then run into the other, shit like that. Just, nothing impressive except for spacing and he crushed.
About Zilean and voli's lore, it's not quite that they hate each others, one of riot former dev's nickname was Zilean and he was against the creation of a champion who'd be a bear wearing an armor, so until Voli's rework, I believe they each earned some extra gold if they killed each other
@@RollingCalf From what I knew he just considered that it was a stupid idea, I don't have more infos about it unfortunatly, I believe those are infos that leaked from riot back then when Voli got released so 11-12 years ago
Just want to give a huge thank you and appreciation post zwag for your content! I just went through a very hard breakup and it’s been a lot of sleepless nights and the only thing that gets me to bed are your videos! From the bottom of my heart thank you for getting me through these tough times ❤️
Zwag I have to say thank you for putting on the Diddy Kong racing music on. It definitely bring back some memories playing the game with my friends. I started rocking out so hard with that song.
Zilean has been my secondary pick for top-lane (Cho'Gath is first) since he first came out - his shenanigans were instrumental in my near flawless run (1L at Diamond 1 due to hard-int'ing Yi) to Master ELO in Season 7, and he's not lost a step. Until season 10 he was the only mage that I even liked to play, and he's still my favorite mage by far. Always love to see him in action if the driver knows what he's doing, which Zwag does. I will reiterate, for those who don't realize this: Void Staff is an excellent SECOND item, against anyone who isn't squishy. By the time you complete it, any enemy champion with naturally scaling MR will have enough MR to make the buy worth it - they don't even need to buy any MR items for this to be true. You want Void Staff built early so that the enemy team won't want to bother buying MR. It keeps you relevant. It's so much cheaper for the enemy team to buy MR than it is for Zilean to buy Void Staff... you do not want a lull period where you are waiting for Void Staff to complete to get your damage back. Nashor's Tooth is very strong on Zilean top. It lets him take towers extremely fast. And all those auto-attacks he gets in add up in terms of damage. Plus they can help him farm more reliably while you are holding Q and W to zone. I prefer 5 ranks Q, 4 ranks W, 1+ rank E. (Rank 5 in W should be your level 18.) That puts Q and W on almost exactly the same cooldown, so you can flutter-cast - QWQ, all one motion. And then have that capability back quickly. It's important if you are about to get ganked, in team fights, just in general. The power of ranks in E is high, but I like the flutter-cast spam better.
Huh, interesting. I'm silver 3 and i love playing zilean but don't like support that much. I might take zilean out for a spin. Thank you for the suggestion lol.
Bro, this is wonderful content. We need more of this. Thank you for this. By the way, on our platform, you can play cool challenges and lift your spirits. 🤝
I haven't played in years so this might be a really dumb question, but would celestial opposition maybe work as a first item on certain mid laners? Its basically a diet shattered crown with no AP, maybe like Ryze or Lissandra would like building it as a cheaper alternative to crown?
ive been using zilean mid since 2012, straight only zilean. ludens build is funnier, full ap is like a atomic bomb on double Q with ludens. especially if it double explode on minion.
see the thing with zilean is you're never playing him to win against your opponent or build against. your goal is max haste and max mental boom, anathemas, frozen heart, malignance, imperial mandate. you make them hate their existence and make them regret booting up league
30:34 Zwag after being solo and going 5/0 to Rengar, but then getting 3v1 and dying "Will our Shaco ever come top, who knows?" 30:38 Shaco after killing blue in jungle goes and finishes off Rengar at the tower who was at 1/4HP remaining. Poor Zwag, Shaco ignoring till he isn't in lane
What sucks with Volibear is that if you CC him while he's using Q to run and stun you it resets the cooldown. However, that's only for hard CC so slows just completely counter him.
Me and a friend had a match where he played jax against zilian top, however their jungle master ji also weren't and stayed top, never jungling whatsoever. So that meant I had to abandon mid to prevent a fed zilian.
Challenge for you: permastun Zilean. Manamune into flickerblade into essence reaver/rageblade/shojin/Bork. Challenge is not to get cramps in your fingers from mashing all the keys
Day 1 of telling zwag to go the crit magic percentage build consists of press the attack coup de grace liandrys rift maker this is the funky part you go infinity edge which boost the damage on magic abilities due to shadow flame the cinderbloom passive if you press shift and read it
10:55 "We'll just play another game and ruin another toplaner's time" -Zwag as Zilean
And that he did. The man is a prophet.

yeah that gave each of them a secret passive wich give 1 more gold if they kill the other one
They used to have special VO when facing each other in the past too

@@t4ndoris403 and zilean has 1 more ap, i think voli has 1 more of another stat i dont remember

Zilean is underrated af. Always been one of my go to Champs when I feel like making somebody mental boom

Who hurt you? Do you need a hug? It sounds like you need a hug. 😂
The first time I played him I made my ADC mental boom 😭. That was my first and last time playing him. I helped my friend get a pentakill though.
Genuinely think the reason zilean is underrated is because no one wants to look at that abomination of a model
@@o0toxiclime0o89 zilean and bard are two champs that can really easily make your own team mental boom as well as the enemy team lmao

LMAO
Vayne; I'm the most annoying top laner.
Zilean; Hold my beer.

5:18 that was so funny lmao. volibear had mental boom from everything that happened before.

You have to do that funny zilian shaco combo, where you put bombs on shaco and he inviz blows up squishies.
Who hurt you today Z, to have made you this vollis' villian. 😂

Thank you!
Please more zilean videos!
this is why i max E in Zilean second...sometimes first if I really feel like ruining someone's day
Day 1 of asking for "Zilean Top to Master" series. I have been inspired to ask based on what i saw in this video haha
Love to see u playing my champ.
watching that pike ult the clone and getting fucked for it was cathartic to watch
Zwag you need to do more top lane videos! lmao
These are great.
Lorewise, they had never met. Lorewise
I have been hoping for a zilean game 🎉
35:20 must have looked quite funny for rengar seeing a moving bomb only
Yoo! I love Zilean! Never taken him top though, interesting strategy!
I haven't played in years so this might be a really dumb question, but would celestial opposition maybe work as a first item on certain mid laners? Its basically a diet shattered crown with no AP, maybe like Ryze or Lissandra would like building it as a cheaper alternative to crown?
Hahaha now I need a Zwiglean channel. ❤
Tenacity exists.
Enemy team; What?
Did I beat kyle to comment:
Yes
Win streak 1.
45:25 Rengar has as many deaths as they enemy team has kills…
35:04 once again zwag could get the drake but instead he blamed his jgler.
9:25 I just realized is the music in the background FFX battle music?
ive been using zilean mid since 2012, straight only zilean. ludens build is funnier, full ap is like a atomic bomb on double Q with ludens. especially if it double explode on minion.
Really love it whenever Zwag plays off-meta champs or off-meta builds, makes watching these vids more fun!
What rank do you play these games at?
The enemy team in the second game not ff'ing is just so funny.
I think, the Grievous Wounds effect has a global counter now, I had to switch from oblv. Orb to thornmail and it showed up on there too
now THIS is why i watch swaggy

Not sure about Malignance. :O
@@kiorodjirane8517 It'd just be for ult haste so the enemy rarely get a chance to really kill you adding on to that mental boomage
Its trash if you are going against a split pusher with perma sustain. I pick reksai into that.
This is probably how lcs players felt when bjerg used to whip out the Zillean

Love when Zwag is playing mental games with the opponent:)
Isnt max e, build botrk first and more ad also viable?
Zwag “my only damaging spell is Q, one button”
Proceeded to laugh at enemy, inflicting emotional damage
🤣🤣🤣
That was fun to watch I play zilean every time I got drafted to support its fun to annoy enemy team 😂 loved the vid by the way ❤
I don't know why but those FIVE critical true damage to minions are killing me
Me and a friend had a match where he played jax against zilian top, however their jungle master ji also weren't and stayed top, never jungling whatsoever. So that meant I had to abandon mid to prevent a fed zilian.
Seraph's-RoA-Zhonya-Deathcap-Void/Bloom would've been neat.
Roa is so overrated
This vid makes me wanna see full ap zilean so bad
Love you content man! Keep up the good work!❤
Yea, I didn't expect zilean, it was the last champion that I would expect xD
I absolutely hate when i watch your videos only to later find out its two ff15 games put into one video
Zwag why u are not in FFSquad anymore ?
the game was won when that kayn trolled ganking xD

This was hilarious. Poor Rengar :(
Can you do Akali? I think the last Time you play maybe A YEARS AGO? 🤔
Wtb on-hit zilean
bro I forgot this champ existed
Enemy team's next move is next game 😂
Still waiting for my Old Man to Be part of Wildrift.
Cant wait to try this out anf go 1/7
first time I played this game.... Zilean was the first I upgraded to Lvl 7 :) Then Zyra... :) Zilean have the fastest run and great wave clear... :)
Wa ha ha...Zillean...JUNGLE ??? ZwagUlus Maximums.
you destroyed me today, with that zwag i was the rengar you played a few hours ago
I think I found my new permaban 👀
Pure cruelty. Love it.
Important to remember rengar w cures cancer
Ancient Bear-hater Zilean passive comes full circle.
That was 8secs of CC for ori that last fight
As a zilean main who plays him top. The most annoying top laners to play against are tryn and nasus
I imagine Zilean top has worse matchups against the ranged toplaners. Except maybe Quinn, you can bomb place where they land off E on reaction lmao.
i felt so bad for that rengar and I almost never feel bad for rengars, but geeebus, you tilted him out of top lane and out of the game entirely
no wonder my brother mains this champion
Should have built quick blade with letho tempo😂
Always nice to see rengar top suffer.
Day 1 of No Going to back to Base Ornn challenge. The only time you can be in base is when you die or at the start.
I think ap twitch w’s slow Is bigger, i think it can further than 100%
My favorite champ
A support in the top lane? :D
How about a Nami AP mid?
Anyway thanks for the daily videos! Helps entertain me while cleaning the home
This early quality 😢
12:03 Voli but surely...
DORAN'S BLADE DIFF
Imagine for once anyone plays zelian top... and goes against Volibear 😂
Whit the special interaction yhey have
I could see doing this in the jungle
Where is Kyle..? Is he safe? Is he alright?
Epic games bro! :D
Im thinking Annie/Zilean bot lane would be an absolute nightmare to lane against 🤔🤔
at 25:35 its counting ignite
