Patch 25.16buff
Zilean started at the bottom, and now he's here. When we reworked his passive for Arena, we didn't expect it to transform him from one of the weakest champions to one of the strongest, but as anyone who has played with/against a decent Zilean player can attest, he makes for a strong ally. We want to walk back his passive just a tad and see where that puts him.
