Alistar the Minotaur
Always a mighty warrior with a fearsome reputation, Alistar seeks revenge for the death of his clan at the hands of the Noxian empire. Though he was enslaved and forced into the life of a gladiator, his unbreakable will was what kept him from truly becoming a beast. Now, free of the chains of his former masters, he fights in the name of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged, his rage as much a weapon as his horns, hooves and fists.

Alistar demonstrates unique performance characteristics, with win rates showing a 5.4% decrease from Iron to Diamond tiers. This pattern suggests that Alistar may be more accessible for newer players while facing increased difficulty against higher-skilled opponents. In Iron tier, Alistar achieves a 53.9% win rate, which gradually declines to 48.5% in Diamond. This trend often indicates that Alistar's strengths can be more effectively countered by experienced players who understand the champion's weaknesses and trading patterns. The declining performance (Iron (53.9%), Bronze (51.0%), Silver (51.1%), Gold (51.7%), Platinum (51.5%)) suggests that while Alistar can be effective in lower ranks where opponents may not exploit vulnerabilities, higher-tier players are better equipped to neutralize Alistar's advantages.
