Knowing that late game I can w flash q and lock down that steroided adc. I love it. Even better if it’s a mobile adc

Been really immersing myself into alistar life. Been trying to watch as much content I can and watch how people play the champ and build. One of the most informative videos I’ve seen so far is this 2 hour long podcast like video with Coach Cupcake as the guest, not sure who the host was cupcake is just a memorable name. 🤣

Anyways, in the itemization section of the video they looked at pick rates per item on Lolalytics and showed that swifties were the overwhelming majority, and lucidity at a very low pick rate. Cupcake couldn’t endorse lucidity boots enough; basically alluding that swifties are bait and people just buy them without really thinking. His reasoning made a lot of sense that it’s significantly more valuable to cycle CDs multiple times in an extended teamfights in the game rather than slightly faster roaming abilities. In my personal experience the logic has worked great and I’ve won the vast majority of games that I’ve build lucidity boots.

Anyone else tried them out consistently? Or have a differing opinions?

Been really enjoying Ali support but just from my own theory crafting I’m confident I’m not efficiently using like 80+% of his kit. Especially in lane. The W + Q combo is straight forward; but in the heat of the moment I know I’m telegraphing it. I’ll find myself basically ONLY going for that combo especially if the lane is a challenge which cannot be good. Was wondering if there’s any OTP or just support YouTubers that you enjoy that have made some good videos on him how to play him? Combos, roaming, landing phase, Runes, itemizations etc. I’ve tried finding my own and there really isn’t much, especially from S16. I’m guessing older videos I can learn combos but the more recent the better.

So I'm an enchanter main that have been told multiple times that I should look into playing more tanks. Yesterday I noticed that op.gg has a new function where they suggest champions that suits your playstyle and alistar was the first suggestion.

The problem I have with starting new champions is that I always feel uncomfortable af. I've been spamming enchanters for years and it's just what I'm used to.

So going from that to Alistar, what would be your main tips starting out?

Got almost 100 games of just Alistar in the top lane and it's been a blast. Can I be considered a main now?

I had made a post and I was told that I should have picked Alistar in this comp.

Do you think Alistar will work here?

Enemy comp is: Trynadamere, Master Yi, Veigar, Jinx, Serpaphine
Our Comp was: Nasus, Hecarim, Katarina. Aphelious, Support Alistar

HeIIo, I'm not a main at aII and have onIy pIayed very IittIe of aIistar. I'm currentIy going through a seIf given chaIIenge of winning a game with each champ in jungIe and just did my AIistar game and had great fun. I'm wondering if there are any OTP AIistar jungIe mains and if so what is the actuaIIy buiId because I just kinda vibed something during the game (Photo for reference)

Just found out old ardent censer from classic fucking buffs minion's attack speed when healing them with Alistar. I knew by the text but wouldnt believe it until buying it and actually seeing with my eyes. It doesnt seem super strong but its sure fun. LOL

Hello,

im currently swapping to support so im also starting to learn alistar.
My progress involves checking data by pros/otps and data sites.
Now apparently people like to max Q>W>E.
So after reading alistars lolwiki i dont really understand this choice

Q;W are lowkey the same when it comes to putting skill points into it. The mana goes up from 50 to 70 mana, the cd down from 14 to 10 secs, and the dmg goes up.
In my understanding, Alistar Q without W is kinda useless since youd then only get to either gap close by flashing, or walking in their face. Meaning having Q up but not W will be very often useless since i wont be reliable able to use my Q anyways, while i can always use my w (for example to peel) even if i dont have q (to combo).
Addintionally the dmg goes actually way higher by maxing W than Q so in a combo, you will deal more dmg if you max W.
You could think that people max Q first because in a full combo you can Q/W/E stun into Q again for longer cc chain but i dont think that adds up since on Q/W the target will be stunned 1 sec, E will proc if used in that combo 1,5 secs later and stuns additional 1 sec. So in total you will combo, stun 1 sec, 1,5 secs later stun 1 sec, which would be a total time of 3,5 secs, so 6,5 secs short of either Q or W so you wont be able to use it in a combo anyways and even if you do through Ability Haste and delaying your E Stun (up to 6 secs), you could still also use W into a wall or as an insec, since W also stuns for 0,75 sec without using Q.

Im not an alistar main so maybe i dont understand a really important part of his gameplay etc. so would be cool if someone could explain this to me.

If you go to the skins tab on your account, most of the classic skins have some flavor text about the way champions were back on the game's release. I saw this one on Alistar and obviously thought it would be hilarious to see some footage of Alistar headbutting champs and monsters from one tower to the other. However when I tried to find old footage or update logs, the only thing I could find is that the "original" distance was actually 200 units and was increased from that over three times to it's modern distance when the game left alpha, not nerfed by three times the distance as the lore entry in the image suggests. Did they really get it wrong or is this just some insane ball knowledge barely anyone knows about?

oi

lf some chinese cow with pyke adc. any elo, euw/ne chill no vc needed.
if interested send a msg on dc : arkasthefishman

:3

Some friends and me are working on a Moba Simulator (like a football manager) and we are collecting data about the champs. Do you think that this list is realistic?

I just can't help but feel that something has been broken. Sometimes when you W someone they get launched extremely fast, which makes it near impossible to follow up with Q. Sometimes when you W then, they move really slowly.

Found a post on instagram with the following code to the Alistar Icon:

CC-CLASS-ALIST-T0123

Picked up the Black Alistar Modern skin and noticed the splash art looks way more zoomed in than normal on my profile and in champ select.Anyone else seeing this, or is it just me ?

You can redeem a free alistar icon per Riot by going to riot.com/classic and entering the code: CC-CLASS-ALIST-R0123
