I think Alistar need a bit more heal other.
After last patch I try alistar a bit and in some match ups I got no chance to win like sona, velkoz supp, ... Because they can poke your adc very well and you cannot do nothing and like support you need more skill in laning phase to carry and other support don't. So: -Hard to play in lane against bullies
I dont understand attack damage in alista ult if he has low attack speed base and scaling by level. You need to buy a trynity force on him?
