Guide to Countering Milio as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Milio

Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.

Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.

You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

Advice to Win Against Milio

Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Milio.

Catching Milio with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.

Milio's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
