Beefy Bot Lane

Space Bum··1 votes·877 views

Have not been seeing much Alistar lately...

Not much a problem for me but I know a lot of people hate facing Thresh orBlitzcrank at bot. But no one picks cow even though he is the #1 pull nope.

I think a lot of people don't know or feel uncomfortable trying his EQ combo. So I will give you the secret. Everyone says timing but they are wrong (I have seen a few popular streamers bring this up now solwolf and ankle are a couple) . The real way to land it is positioning. You must have your target at the maximum range of your E for the combo to work. Do this and it will execute every time.

I believe you can milk those...

But a Thresh can immediately flay afterward no? Leaving you vulnerable to a hook unless nearby ally minions or you flash.

Or maybe the CC on Pulverize and Headbutt is too strong that Thresh or Blitz can't hook or knock you up.

Alistair counters hooks by making it a bad idea to land them, because he just fucks you up for it, and is tanky enough to not care so much about getting caught. It's psychological control, versus mechanical control.

Here's how:

Blitz hooks Alistair, pulls him in. Alistair let the hook hit because his jungler is in the bush. Alistair proceeds to headbutt a member of the enemy team into the crossfire of jungler+ADC, that enemy dies, maybe the other as well. So now the Blitz with isn't gonna do it again out of fear of repeating the same mistake, and putting his lane further behind.
