Blitzcrank into Zileanmedium

Overview

Use brush control to threaten pulls that force Zilean's ADC away from positioning.
Deny Zilean's bomb zones by holding fog and lane space to limit his poke angles.
Pressure engage windows when your ADC can burst immediately after a successful pull.

Hold threat until enemy ADC loses minion cover, then pull for ADC burst follow-up.
Avoid Zilean's bomb zones and punish him when misses to deny poke and lane pressure.
Use chase speed after a pull to secure kills or force enemy back before cooldowns reset.

Respect Zilean's double stun combo and avoid clustering near bomb zones to protect your ADC.
Beware of enemy ADC follow-up empowered by speed boost during trades; keep ADC safe.
Track revive cooldown to avoid wasting engages on targets likely to be saved.

Win level 2 by coordinating + all-in with your ADC to pressure kills and lane priority.
Control brush early to deny Zilean safe bomb setups and reduce his poke impact.
Crash the wave after level 2 to create roam windows and force Zilean to stay in lane.

Level 2 unlocks + burst all-in; use it to threaten kills and force lane priority.
Level 3 adds chase speed; leverage this to punish Zilean's cooldowns and control brush.
Level 6 silence enables all-in or peel; coordinate with ADC for decisive engages or defensive resets.

Convert brush control and hook picks into denied enemy ADC positioning and lane priority.
Roam safely after wave crashes to extend pressure and secure river vision for dragon setups.
Use silence in teamfights to disrupt enemy peel and enable your ADC's burst damage.
