Zilean

Zilean is an enchanter in the support, and on patch 16.11 they grade out as a top-tier pick — a 53.4% win rate, 2.6% pick rate, 30,626 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Zilean is a scaling champion: comparatively weak early, but one of the strongest picks on the map once core items come online — so the plan is to survive the laning phase and take the game over late.

How Zilean wins: peeling and disengaging to grind out the extended fight, and grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Zilean tips the fight. The kit grades 9/10 disengage, 7/10 teamfighting. Play around where Zilean is thin, engage and split-push (3/10, 1/10), and the enemy loses their angle.

The most-played core build is Solstice Sleigh, Shurelya's Battlesong, Bandlepipes, which holds a 52.5% win rate across 2,110 games this patch. Set the enemy team at the top of the page to see how the path shifts against that comp.

The matchup to respect is Olaf, where Zilean sits at just 42.3%, the lane swings the other way into Quinn (61.2%), and on the team side, Zilean gains the most from a Darius (+13.5% pair win rate).
