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.
Triumphant Roar
Alistar charges his roar by stunning or displacing enemy champions or when nearby enemies die. When fully charged he heals himself all nearby allied champions.

MetaBot Tips

- Alistar is able to soak a lot of damage, making them much more viable in the frontline taking damage to protect less tanky teammates.
- Alistar secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
- Alistar tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- Alistar has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.

Playing Against Alistar
- Alistar is very disruptive but very tough - try to target more fragile damage dealers.
