Can we do something about alistar's extremely oppressive laning phase.

Dasdi96··1 votes·713 views

Laning against alistar support as an adc or support is probably the most irritating thing ever. When he hits level 2, he can all in you with no counterplay with his w-q combo. That combo alone takes about 150 health. You get cc'd for an eternity so you can't fight back. Once he hits level 6, he can tower dive you with his adc with no punishment and get a double kill every time you get back into lane. The only possible way to win lane is if you get an early advantage with an invade.

A suggested change is to make him unable to use pulverize during his headbutt animation.

uhhh, cc counters him. he's a melee champ. and his great combo set-up happens when he has flash, that's about every 5 minutes. keep your bushes warded and poke him. you seem like you just don't know how to play against him.

Alistar is actually pretty weak in the early laning phase. He can be poked down unmercifully. I rarely go a game where I don't kill the enemy Alistar at least once in the first few levels.

His early game is his weakest when he has severe mana problems

When I laned against an alistar support, he seemed to never run out of mana and he kept comboing us.

Riot, you need to hold the marksman class to the same standards of counterplay.

Once season 6 starts, laning against zed as a mage will be a total nightmare.
