Alistar Combo

Dc Decay··1 votes·593 views

I'm new to the forums be gentle

With that being said has anyone else noticed in the previous patches how "difficult" it's gotten to land Alistars W-Q combo? I can't seem to put my finger on it, but i've been playing alistar for the past couple patches and just recently it feels like it's more difficult to land it. I wanted to see what everyone else's opinion is on it.

yeah, I've noticed that I miss about 4 out of 10 now, where before the patch I missed about 2 out of 10 (because he is my fav support). It could very well be I'm just a bit rusty since I hadn't played in a while, but it may have something to do with the patch.

I feel like i have a good amount of time put into Alistar, and was able to land is combo nearly every time unless they blinked/flashed out after my W, but now It's like i'll land my W-Q and they'll get punted and stunned where they land at and not knocked up.

they changed the timing on it because alistar top could use it to completely stall lanes and get the jungler killing ganks.

IMO alistars headbutt needs to be changed to something like E.T.Cs Q from heroes of the storm. Even something like poppy where it pushes them with you instead of launching them would be a massive improvement.

When was this change? I didn't see anything in the patch notes.

It was in late S3/early S4 i think? Like 3.9 or 4.2

This is something more recent, within the past 2 patches.

5.1 changed his animations slightly. That probably fudged it up.

There was a time when I managed to land pretty much every combo, now it seems extremly difficult to do.
