Can someone explain why Alistar needed nerfs?

He had less than a 50% win rate before his nerfs. Meanwhile Blitzcrank is still the king of supports. Why take a champion who is clearly balanced and gut them?

His late game AP damage was insane and clearly did over 1200 damage without much AP

Do you have any idea how easy it is to kite an Alistar? He deserves to do damage if you let him get close to you.

If he were that easy to counter, he still wouldn't be a top pick in competitive games now.

I think they did that because he was suppressing support picks in competitive?

Blitz is not the king of supports and Alistar is still god-tier.
