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, currently on patch 16.13.1, and refreshes automatically every 48 hours, so the numbers move with 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.
