When will Alistar get the nerfs he deserves?

Pretty much pick or ban in any competitive game and totally broken if played by a main.

HIs stats aren't the issue. It's not as if his q or w damage is too strong, or his e heal is too much. The problem is with his abilities and how easy it is to pick up on people's mistakes which is what people are great at in lcs. He has no skill shots, his w q combo is similar to a cho'gath q except its instant and takes him with it. Instant AoE knock up, which also allows him to tower dive well because he can just ult afterwards and tank with certainty he has aggro while his allies kill whoever is under the tower leading to easy pick ups and his peel cannot be dodged, you are going to get knocked away or knocked up, or both. Nerf's wont fix the issue, his kit needs reworking if you don't want to see him continue to dominate in LCS

i don't know i hope they just do something because i'm kinda tired of Alistar players pressing W+Q and yelling "LOL OUTPLAYED"

same shit with Leona, but thank god no one picks her atm, she's still incredibly retarded

Uhhh nothing?

He was quite a popular pick as support in the LCS because he fits very well in the Cinderhulk Tank Meta. That wasn't Alistar's fault. He was naturally strong all this time, it's just that he wasnt an excellent pick during the Assassin meta. And now you're saying you wanted Alistar to be back into trash tier just because he rose popularity in LCS?

Typical.

what the actual fuck?

he was the most played support in OGN season 4 summer, he's incredibly good in an assassin meta since he can peel hard, and you can bet he will still be 100% pick or ban once the new devourer kicks in since he can stop things like Yi or Nocturne perfectly

he's been broken since the (HUGE) buffs in S4, the reason you didn't see him support is because he was OP as heck toplane

now he's OP as heck botlane

He has already been nerfed lots in the past.

He no longer AAs after his QW combo with his Sheen build, which destroys his top lane potential.

His passive doesn't deal bonus damage to monsters, which destroys his jungle potential.

And also the fact that these two nerfs has some effect on the support role itself. He has lost a lot of damage potential to be a painful tank support champ at bot lane. His recent buffs on his ult & mana costs on his QW is all he has now. I don't even see how Alistar can be Op as people think he is, when people kept saying Kassadin sucks even though he was still picked & banned during the LCS.

Note: Alistar is considered pretty useless after he wasted his QW combo in teamfights without cooldown builds. If you're still focusing him after he wasted his QW combo in teamfights, then that's your fault, not Alistar

nerfed "alot", literally ONE SINGLE NERF wich was supposed to be a bugfix anyways considering he was abusing a game mechanic

unless you're talking about 3000 B.C.

meanwhile today Alistar another day of 100% pick, 100% ban with 2 wins out of 3

goddamn he's balanced son

i swear this forum has got an hard-on for tank supports, EVERY time i say a tank support is broken as fuck people jump on me, EVERY time i say Sona or Zyra are shit: same thing

enjoy your overpowered Broken Cow then, i hope you will find some Alistar main in your next games so you will change your mind
