How to beat Alistar

Common role: Support

An unstoppable cow that headbutts your carry into his team.

What makes Alistar dangerous

Alistar knocks up everyone around him (Q), headbutts a target away (W) — the W+Q combo displaces you into his team — roots with trample stacks (E), and his ultimate removes CC and massively reduces damage, making him nearly unkillable in dives.

How to play against Alistar

• 1Stand behind minions or away from walls — his W+Q combo needs a clean angle.
• 2His all-in has long cooldowns: after a failed engage, punish for 10+ seconds.
• 3Don't burst him during his ult — switch targets until it expires.
• 4Poke him at range: he has zero ranged answers.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Ranged poke shuts down his lane entirely.
• ✓Engage cooldowns are long — punish failed combos.
• ✓His ult makes him tanky but he deals little damage alone.
• ✓Predictable flash-W+Q pattern — respect flash range when he hits 6.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Alistar's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  승리의 포효

  근처에서 적이 죽거나, 알리스타가 적 챔피언을 기절 혹은 이동시킬 때마다 포효를 중첩시킵니다. 최대치까지 중첩되면 근처의 모든 아군 챔피언과 자신의 체력을 회복시킵니다.

  Strong: rolling stacks heal him and nearby allies in fights. Weak: the burst heal needs stacks — end trades before it charges.

• Q
  분쇄

  알리스타가 땅을 내리쳐 주변의 적에게 피해를 입히고 공중에 띄웁니다.

  Strong: an instant AoE knock-up around him. Weak: melee radius — spacing denies the entire combo.

• W
  박치기

  알리스타가 적에게 박치기를 하여 피해를 입히고 적을 밀어냅니다.

  Strong: headbutts you into his team or tower. Weak: needs a clean angle — stand so the push sends you to safety, not into walls.

• E
  짓밟기

  알리스타가 근처의 적 유닛을 짓밟아 적 챔피언에게 피해를 입힐 경우 중첩을 얻고, 유닛을 통과해서 다닐 수 있게 됩니다. 최대치까지 중첩되면 알리스타의 적 챔피언에 대한 다음 기본 공격이 강화되어 추가 마법 피해를 입히고 기절시킵니다.

  Strong: trample stacks into an empowered stunning auto. Weak: he must stay glued to you — kite the trample duration.

• R
  꺾을 수 없는 의지

  알리스타가 거친 함성을 지르며 자신에게 걸린 모든 방해 효과를 제거하고 일정 시간 동안 적의 물리 및 마법 피해를 감소시킵니다.

  Strong: removes CC and cuts damage massively — unkillable dives. Weak: damage stays pitiful; ignore him and kill the carry behind.

Itemization

Spacing beats him: no walls at your back, minions between you. Swap focus off him during ult — he's a distraction, kill the carries.
