When he hits 6, he's going to ult. He's going to run under your tower and CC you into oblivion. And he's probably going to get away thanks to his ult. So my question to you is how do you deal with this? Alistar pretty much does what he wants when he ults and there's not much you can do about it.

Have you tried not dying? I hear it's 100% effective in surviving tower dives by an Alistar. :^)

Otherwise, since you seem to know so much about what he's going to do at that point, why not stay out of range beforehand?

No one uses Cleanse LOL. And if I have a QSS I'm probably saving it for when their mid jumps on me.

Okay, now respond to my other point. :)
SwiftKitten881 voteswith the towers in their current pathetic state... I'm not sure you can..
ABlueQuaker1 votestbh you just need to not panic and expect it even if it never happens. At best he has a sightstone worth of HP so the turret will start to take its toll on him after a few shots.Iinterrupt his W if you can and don't mind-game yourself into just watching him stroll up and pulverize you.

Reket DeAlk1 votesWait till he uses it then CC him. A Morg or Zyra support will ruin Ali's day with their snares. Vayne also works well due to the true damage and her tumble/knock back. If you're low and Alistar hits 6, just back off because you know the tower dive is coming and if you're too low you'll die instantly. And lastly keep him low health too. A good poking adc and/or support will make Ali use his mana for his heal and make it harder for him to do his combo. Plus, reduced damage doesn't help much when you're low health anyways and taking damage from a tower and an adc.
RespectPlus1 votesyou should predict he will dive you and run away to T2
Makior721 votesAs an adc not much you can do unless you are vayne and can condemn the alistar away from you.
As a support you should have the tools available to you to either shield / protect your adc or stun / cc the enemy adc.
Alot of people panic and attack alistar in this situation when they should not.
Another thing is to realize ahead of time the likely hood of being dived. If the enemy bot lane is ahead by a good bit then ali will almost certainly dive you amd you should either be calling on mid or jungle or both to roam down as it is about to happen to make a play off it. If they can not / will not come down retreat to 2nd tower if you are behind and just give the first tower up OR wait until ali follows you out of turret range and then re engage the adc who is likely now IN turret range.
Mister Modesty1 votesI use Alistar a lot. Tower diving at 6 is a bold move. You should keep the pressure on his ADC to siphon his mana reserve. Alistar will focus more on peels and heals if you keep good exchanges going.
Also- as a support, I like grabbing 
. I don't like being tied up by CC, and if you're going tank- it's more reliable than Exhaust.
An ADC should get 
instead of 
.. it's a bit more expensive, but worth it early game.
As for the tower dive. If you can't keep the bull from charging, kite, kite, kite. Alistar is fairly slow, which is why he's recommended to grab boots fast. Keep your distance, if you see him coming, don't assume it's a bluff. I get a lot of assists when people stand their ground, and i pluck them from their turret. If Alistar has Flash- bring it on CD before the engage. We all know the Headbutt+Pulverize combo. But you don't want to see the Flash+Pulverize+Headbutt combo in full effect.
Remember- watch what items your enemy laners are getting- and build accordingly. Watch how the support prefers to support. Alistar can be utility as well as tank- and some people lean one way over the other. A utility Alistar won't want to turret dive without an escape. A tank can be harassed. Just play smart, and be patient.
Athenes Lulu1 votesYou should try cc'ing him. Stun, snare, silence, you name it. If he's got a buddy with him, then you kill that buddy. If he is alone, then you can always run because his CD on Q and W are pretty long.
If you are the poor ADC, then it depends on your support. If he can't do the above, then just run, or try to kill the enemy ADC asap. Or best safety precaution, if you see an angry bull running after you, you know it's time to run.
