Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Alistar, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Alistar wins 54.3% of 151 games (95% range 46.4–62.0%).
  • Both champions' overall Support win rates predict 50.0% for Alistar; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Blitzcrank usually wins the lane: 222 gold ahead of Alistar at 15 minutes on average (151 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Alistar players pick Plated Steelcaps far more often against Blitzcrank: 23.8% of their other Support games, 32.5% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Alistar and Blitzcrank played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Alistar's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

What Alistar Changes Against Blitzcrank

Choices Alistar players make noticeably more or less often in this matchup than in their other Support games.

Best Alistar Build vs Blitzcrank

Usual Alistar build (Support)

72.5% win rate · 51 games

Against Blitzcrank

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 10 of 61 Alistar games against Blitzcrank carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Alistar's standard build instead.

  • Alistar usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.8 min (median of 79 games).
  • Blitzcrank usually completes Locket of the Iron Solari first, at 13.3 min (median of 96 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > W > E — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
