Zilean Counters

Looking for reliable Zilean counters? The matchup numbers below come straight from current ranked games in the Support role, not from tier-list guesswork. Right now the hardest opponents for Zilean are LeBlanc, Taric, Shaco — in these matchups Zilean’s win rate drops the furthest below its average. The single strongest counter is LeBlanc, where Zilean wins just 44.6% of 110 recorded games. Zilean itself counters Zoe, Mel, Swain — favorable matchups worth exploiting in champion select.

Each card shows the win rate from Zilean’s perspective and the number of games behind it — a matchup with tens of thousands of games is far more trustworthy than one with a few hundred. The Easy/Even/Hard labels are computed from those win rates (below 48% reads as Hard, above 52% as Easy); they are a reading aid, not a separate source stat. Data comes from ranked games at Emerald rank and above across all regions, so the numbers reflect the meta. Counters are only half the picture: check the current Zilean build for the strongest items and runes, or the Zilean champion page for abilities and full details.
