Introduction
Other runes that can work:
-mp5 glyphs: these are ok but u shouldn't run out of mana early game, because you don't use a lot of mana early game and I don't often build magic resist. Besides, you get a lot with the quints and masteries.
-Cdr glyphs: I find that the quints and masteries are more than enough cool down. These might be viable if you used the move speed quints.
-move speed quints: helpful for chasing down enemies and getting out, but i find them expensive XD so i don't use them.
-Cdr quints: once again, too expensive for people like me, but they can work, I guess. Alistar just runs in uses combo on squishy then runs out. Repeat process next team fight. No need for short cooldowns.
I don't max my heal immediately after my q due to the mana cost it takes, especially after the latest patch (7/7/12). Obviously I get my ult at levels 6, 11 and 16. I max my heal next, because Headbutt upgrades the damage, which you don't need.
Depending on the situation, you can build the heart of gold into a Locket of the Iron Solari, or a Randuin's Omen.
For boots your choice is between Mobility Boots for good mobility (o_O) or Ninja Tabi if they have a team like Irelia Udyr Talon Corki Sona. Maybe not that extreme but the passive on ninja tabi is better than you think, so consider it if they have lots of AD. Mercury's Treads aren't really necessary on Alistar because he has his cleanse ultimate, but if your laning against Taric or Soraka they might be a good choice. I have changed my mind on Boots of Swiftness because they only give a few more movespeed than normal boots. I usually build Mobility Boots
The last item is completely situational, and here are a few suggestions:
- Warmog's Armor if you want more health
- Force of Nature if their AP carry is doing well and the move speed is nice
- Frozen Heart if you want more armor, also has a nice speed debuff
- Thornmail for those pesky Master Yi's and Fiora's
- Guardian Angel if you think u die too much in teamfights, or if you just want more resists
One other thing: BUY WARDS!
When escaping, try to save yourself as well as your teammates. You can do this by headbutting chasers away from carries and using your Shurelya's Battlesong. If they decide to chase you Pulverize then run like hell. If you happen to have your ult up, wait for them to use a cc, then use it, as it has a built in Cleanse.
Also: BUY WARDS
Graves
Love laning with this guy. His blind helps me get into position for my combo, and the insane burst from Buckshot helps take down the enemies fast.
Kog'maw
I like laning with Kog'Maw because of the range he gets, which is useful for taking down enemies from afar, and for turret diving.
Caitlyn
I like cait becuase she is pretty much the combination of these two.
Ashe
Ashe has a very weak early game, so most of the time is spent farming so she needs a good babysitter. Alistar can do that, but babysitting doesn't suit my playstyle, which is very aggresive with Alistar.
Soraka
If you try to run at the enemy carry when they have a Soraka support, you will get yourself silenced, and then you get to take some hits from the carry free of charge before you can CC it up.
Taric
Pretty much the same stuff as Soraka except its his stun not the silence.
