Guide to Countering Singed as Zilean

Tips for Playing as Zilean against Singed

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 Singed

Keep your distance to avoid being Flung back into Singed's allies.

Singed needs to run close to your team to be effective. Try to take advantage of this by using crowd control effects on him while attacking his allies.

Be careful when chasing Singed. He's very difficult to bring down, and can leave his Poison Trail to damage you in your pursuit.
