Neeko vs Alistar Matchup Summary

The Neeko vs Alistar matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 30 recent matches analyzed, Alistar wins with a 56.7% win rate compared to Neeko's 43.3%, giving Alistar a 13.3 percentage point advantage. Alistar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Neeko players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Alistar leads by 1,330 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Alistar has a strong advantage in this matchup. Neeko players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Alistar overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
618Neeko
307Alistar
Neeko heavily out-damages Alistar by 311 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Alistar should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Neeko's sustained damage advantage take over.

Utility
1.7Neeko

Sustain
487Neeko
1,817Alistar
Alistar vastly out-sustains Neeko, healing and mitigating 1,330 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Alistar can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Neeko is forced to recall.
