Abilities
Time in a BottlePC
Passive - Time in a Bottle
Range: 875

Innate: Zilean generates 2 / 3.5 / 5 / 6 / 12 experience (does not count towards his own level up) every 5 seconds. Time in a Bottle is on cooldown when the game starts and becomes disabled when everyone on Zilean's team including himself has reached level 18.

When he has stored enough to level up an allied champion and grant the same amount of experience to himself, he can select them to channel for 1.2 seconds after a 0.5 -second cast time. The channel is interrupt and disabled upon entering combat with enemy champions or taking damage from turret, placing it on a 10-second cooldown. If Zilean interrupts it himself, it is placed on a 1-second cooldown, increased to 2 if he used a basic attack against a turret to do so. Additionally, if Zilean becomes affected by any form of crowd control, the channel is placed on a 10-second cooldown.

A successful channel will grant an equal amount of experience to the ally to-level-up and Zilean, with a combined minimum of 15% of the stored experience.

Zilean cannot initiate the channel while he is affected by cast-inhibiting crowd control or a lockout that disables abilities.

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.
