Riot, can you rework or buff Alistar's passive?

It actually feels completely worthless right now.

Lower stacks, increase heal. It'll probably STILL be too weak. In fact, it will feel too weak until its too strong, most likely.

His passive should probably be reworked again. Instead of a heal, have it grant 10% MS, 10% AS, +15 bonus armor/MR, or any other stat that would be helpful, thematic, but not overbearing.

Something you can time trades around would make the anticipation for 7 stacks actually feel worthwhile, and would actually scale into the game as well.

I mean, it's a fee heal for just being in lane. Plus he has a new stun on top of his qw combo.

The new kit is great, however, his Q, W, E, and R all need power trimmed outside of just cooldown. I still feel like I burst people for a pretty large amount with W->Q even if I'm full tank.

Its such a powerful engage with little opportunity to punish due to his R cleansing and providing 70% damage reduction.

His passive is a great place to look to move that power to.

Alistar has so much power elsewhere in his kit they can't give him more power in his passive without nerfing something else.

I mean, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?

What he does is practically unpunishable if played right. Funneling power out of his kit and into his passive would be healthier.

There's a reason he's a common pick, or even pick/ban, any time melee supports are viable in competitive. That's what the rework should have solved, but it did not. It gave him more CC instead, and various aspects of him should be toned down because of it. Not having a passive isn't a great way to solve that because he will still do what he does regardless.
