The Scaling Codex · late-game grade

Does Zilean scale?

AGreat lateat full build, coordinated fights

Yes. Zilean scales into a strong late game.

Bomb damage, AoE stuns, massive slows, ability rewind, and the Guardian Angel ultimate make him excellent in coordinated late-game fights. OKAY LATE Functional, but outpaced by better-scaling compositions.

The grade measures one thing: how much a champion can influence a coordinated late-game objective fight once both teams reach full builds. It does not measure early strength, snowballing, or win rate. A weak late-game champion still wins by ending the game first, which is what the rest of the library teaches.
