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.

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.

Gameplay Tips

Playing Alistar

  • Using Pulverize can allow you to establish better positioning for Headbutt.
  • Move Speed is very important on Alistar. Consider which boots to buy carefully.
  • Using Flash can allow you catch your target off guard to knock them back into your allies with Pulverize and Headbutt.

Playing Against Alistar

  • Alistar is very disruptive but very tough - try to target more fragile damage dealers.
  • Watch out for the Pulverize-Headbutt combo when around turrets.
  • When Alistar uses his ultimate, it's often better to move back and wait until the effect wears off before attacking him.
