The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Zilean? Let's dive into everything you need to know about Time Machine Zilean, a unique skin for Zilean. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 520 RP

Released: 2011-04-12

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2011-04-12, this Common tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Time Machine Zilean worth your RP. At 520 RP, you're getting a budget-friendly option that still gives Zilean a fresh look, so you can stand out.

Here's what you get with Time Machine Zilean: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Zilean a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Time Machine Zilean keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.
