Assassin (AP) Alistar

Why is that even allowed? He has point-and-click, relatively low-cost spells that gap close at 650 units, knock up -> slow, followed by a ridiculously easy to proc stun (assume he even has to) before you blow up with only a few AP items. In other words, unless you're playing Caitlyn with boots and a lot of attack speed, he's going to hit you before you'd ever get the chance to harass him, and likely kill you. As if that's not enough, he also packs a virtually unkillable ultimate so he can dive as soon as he hits level 6 for free, and repeat. He's a ridiculously forgiving champ and I'm surprised more people aren't spamming this crap. Your ADC has to be asleep or you've got to be against maybe Janna to be losing trades with this thing.

So, can we nerf the shit out of his AP ratios on his Q and W, or at least cull his range a bit so he's not such a looming threat without any boots? At least other tanks have skillshots to land. This one is stupid-forgiving to play.

just play him once. its not all sunshine and rainbows. You have no escapes. You can only go in. If you get caught out and your ult is on CD. its over. You are dead.

That's fine. It's like a better Leona. Except he chunks like 50-75% of a marksman's health with one finished AP item. Even if he dies, he took out the DPS of the enemy team, and in this state of the game, that's what really matters.

Don't know about a full AP build, but item 3116 is secret tech hidden OP on him, turning his trample into a permaslow with his other CC.
