Learn how to Alistar counter with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
Stay outside Alistar's Headbutt range (650 units) when his combo is available — this prevents his signature W>Q engage pattern that can lead to extended trades or death.
Lane Phase
Look to engage or trade after Alistar uses his W>Q combo — he has a 10-14 second window where his primary engage and peel abilities are unavailable.
Lane Phase Skirmish
Maintain distance from teammates when facing Alistar — his Pulverize (Q) has a 375 unit radius and can stun multiple champions simultaneously.
Team Fight Skirmish
Harass Alistar aggressively at level 1 before he unlocks both abilities — his level 2 combo is powerful, but he's vulnerable before that point.
Basic Lane Phase
Switch targets when Alistar activates Unbreakable Will — focus squishier targets for 7 seconds until his damage reduction expires.
Team Fight
Be especially cautious of tower dives when below 50% health after Alistar reaches level 6 — his Ultimate reduces damage taken by 55-75% for 7 seconds, making him excellent at tanking tower shots.
Basic Lane Phase
Track Alistar's Ultimate cooldown (120-80 seconds) and look to engage during this window — without his damage reduction and CC immunity, he's much easier to take down.
Skirmish Team Fight
Ward over walls near objectives — Alistar can Flash over terrain to set up surprise Pulverize engages on grouped teams.
Advanced Late Game Team Fight
Place deep wards when facing an Alistar with Mobility Boots — his roaming potential increases significantly and he'll look to create numbers advantages in other lanes or the jungle.
Lane Phase
Create distance when Alistar has 5 Trample stacks (glowing hooves) — his next basic attack will stun for 1 second, often leading to his full combo.
