PSA: Do not focus Alistar when he is ulting

For Carthage··9 votes·798 views

I realize that it's the teamfight meta.

I realize you shouldn't charge past the tank to focus somebody else isn't suggested.

But you're doing 70% reduced damage to somebody building straight tank. Could you fucking not blow half your ults on him while solely trying to kill him during a fight while the Riven murders the backline?

Imo, if Alistar tries diving the backline it should be the support's duty to cc him (it's their role to protect the backline, and you want your mage/tank to save their rotations for priority targets. It's not just ults, it's cc wasted in teamfights that leads to Katarina pentakills). If he doesn't attempt to go for the backline, he's not going to do much other than reposition your frontline (which can be lethal in a teamfight, so be careful). His ult isn't useful if you don't focus him, so don't be in a position he can benefit from that.

I'm up way too late.

Should have just said "agreed" and let it be at that.

Truly the tanks weakness is lack of attention.

Then they have all that CC

You still shouldn't dump all of your abilities on the tank. That's just being stupid.

In a heavy teamfight, an Alistar with no cooldown builds uses WQ on a tanky Braum only, and starts his ult. A retarded Vayne still focuses him & gets killed by the enemy carry JarvanIV : Dude, why the fuck did you still focused Alistar? Vayne : Because he was in the way! JarvanIV : ...how? His only 2 CC abilities were off cooldown, I just can't... https://36.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7bjr0xDHj1rbsctpo1_500.jpg

And you can melt him even faster after it. Oh the magic of logic.

But if we don't focus him 5v1... how are we gonna kill him? I mean he reduces damage by 70%

For Carthage2 votes

Well, legends say that after 7 seconds, he stops reducing damage.

But those are just legends, right? Who's ever actually lived to see such a thing happen?

This is true, on the other hand, if there's not a Riven murdering me, I'm certainly not walking past Ali to try and hit other people (as a squishy carry anyway).

It's like the people who blow all of their spells onto Braum's shield, or the people who don't know what Thresh's lantern does,

the people who don't know what Thresh's lantern does,

I was playing ARAM yesterday and got this guy......so many deaths that could have been avoided. All they had to do was click.

Ralanr2 votes

It sucks man. Sometimes we click it and we end up missing.

Yes something that stupid happens. It's not as crazy as you think.
