Alistar's Trample Damage Should Double While his Ult is Activated

Tis a nice day·Jan 14, 2015·45 votes·1,764 views

As of now, Trample deals 24 magic damage per second (+10% AP) at level 18, an almost laughably pathetic amount when it comes to anything but pushing lanes. Flat out increasing the damage however, leads to jungle Alistar (which Riot stated they did not want). So to allow Trample to at least have a passable presence without overpowering any other aspects, I propose that the damage should be doubled while Unbreakable Will is active, similar to how Vayne's movespeed passive triples when she uses her ult.

Alistar just needs a new passive. The current one is just stupid, even if the damage WAS double it would still be pretty weak and pathetic.

Agreed. His passive makes no sense. If Riot wont allow him to be a jungler, then give him a passive that is useful for a support. His passive is maybe marginally useful to top lane alistar, for pushing lane, but it is useless on a support.

Or make it scale with max health instead of AP.

Yes. Many supports/tanks have passives that scale on HP/Armor/Magic Resist, Alistar could use a little scaling as well.

That is a really cool idea OP.

I don't think Riot wants a champ that becomes almost unkillable while doing lots of damage. See Poppy.

Yeah we can't have Alistar doing 48 magic damage in an AoE around him after spell activation at level 18 right?

Constant aoe magic damage like that is unacceptable.

Even if you double it the damage would still be worthless on any support build...just not a really useful passive in general

Still a useless passive for a support.

I missed that - Riot stated they didn't want jungle Ali? Why?

ur kidding right. Have you seen his kit? it would be the most horrifying thing since AP Yi....

It wasn't that bad - his sustain and damage were low enough he had a hard time farming. His kit was designed for ganks - if he had a dash that wasn't targeted it would be amazing. His farm is super weak. It balances. AP Yi sucked because you literally couldn't damage him while he healed - plus alpha strike for 9000 damage.

Alistar's passive does almost as much as Cassie's W (which is 30 magic damage per second + 10% AP at rank 5)...

That probably makes Cassiopia sad.

Now that i think of it, cass's w is pathetic LOL .... Rank 5 ability does 30 damage 10% ap is extremely unsatisfying... No wonder people used to never put a single point into it

The point of the ability isn't to do damage anymore. It's a slow and a poison, which lets her spam E, doing insane DPS anyways.
