You may be thinking, "OMG...Alistar top? Isn't he a Support?" Yes, yes he is. But for ***** and giggles, I went Alistar top in a ranked for my first time, and I did extremely well for being a Alistar.

Early: Basically all the lane becomes is a farm lane. They can't kill you, and you can't kill them! You let them push as close to your turret as possible. If they decide to go balls deep on you, all you do is Q, and W them into your turret and let them take a couple shots from it. They will learn not to mess with you or else they get the horns.

Middle: You are the tank start the fight, get in there and knock em' up a lil bit! Just be careful at the timing of going in! You aren't quite tanky enough for late game engages!

Late: Go in ahead of your team, let the enemy try and focus you when you go in early before your team. Ult up, Q and W every now and then as well. Your team will get to you if everything is right.

*DO NOT GO BALLS WHEN YOUR TEAM HAS TO TRAVEL HALF THE MAP*
