Alistar Headbutt (W) [NOTE: ricklessabandon has noted that Alistar's W speed is [1] "down from 1500 to 1200, which gives ~25% more reaction time on low latency environments if cast from max range" + [2]"and likewise gives players on higher latency environments a slightly longer window to attempt the headbutt-into-pulverize combo"]
Does this mean East coast players are actually getting a buff?
Voidgolem1 votesit means you can disjoint headbutt more easily. With the happy side effect of the combo being easier with lag due to taking longer to execute.

Then justify it by saying it helps laggy players.

Well you can't deny his strengths at the moment. Just look at his LCS play record.
But really, how does that effect reliability when his Head butt is a point and click, and his opponent would be CC for the entire duration?
