One of two things needs to happen to alistar

Alistar is the support champion that I hate to see the most when agaisnt me. He's not like janna either, who has a decepetively high skill ceiling. He either needs to get the zyra treatment and have the stun removed from his knockup (if you didn't already know, following the 1 second knockup you are stunned for another .5 seconds upon hitting the ground). Knockup already can't be reduced with tenacity, and now that his q-w combo is braindead easy to use, the added cc on top of an already potent cc chain is just way too much.

If this doesn't happen, then his e needs a mana cost increase. You don't think "healing" when you hear Alistar. You think a giant f*cking cow that's about to charge you and beat you into the ground for his allies to further pummel. And yet, Alistar is in the top 5 supports with most healing done in the game. So not only does this guy have A-tier healing, his cc and displacement is also top-notch. ON TOP of a potentially game-changing ulti that lets him tower dive and tank way more than he should. This doesn't sound right to me, and it shouldn't sound right to you either.

Time to nerf the cow Rito. He's been getting away with this shit for too long at this point.
