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
  凯旋怒吼

  阿利斯塔在对敌方英雄造成晕眩或强制位移时，或附近有敌人阵亡时，会积攒他的怒吼层数。在层数攒满后，他会治疗他自己和所有附近的友方英雄。

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

• Q
  大地粉碎

  阿利斯塔锤击地面，对附近的敌人造成魔法伤害并使他们浮空。

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

• W
  野蛮冲撞

  阿利斯塔冲撞目标，对其造成伤害并击退目标。

  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
  践踏

  阿利斯塔践踏附近的敌方单位，无视单位的碰撞体积并在他伤害到一名敌方英雄时获得一层充能。在满层充能时，阿利斯塔的下次对敌方英雄发起的普攻将造成额外魔法伤害和晕眩效果。

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

• R
  坚定意志

  阿利斯塔发出野性的咆哮，移除身上所有控制效果，并且持续时间内所受的物理和魔法伤害将减少。

  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.
