Brand vs Alistar Matchup Summary

The Brand vs Alistar matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 62 recent matches analyzed, Brand wins with a 51.6% win rate compared to Alistar's 48.4%, giving Brand a 3.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Brand controls the early laning stage, but Alistar outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Brand needs to press advantages before Alistar reaches their power spikes, while Alistar should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Alistar leads by 1,442 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Brand has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Alistar's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Brand dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 57.6% win rate — a 15.2 percentage point lead over Alistar. This lopsided early game means Brand can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Alistar is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 55.2% win rate — 10.3 points above Brand. Extended games heavily favor Alistar, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Brand must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Alistar reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Alistar survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
