There is only a button to archive, only admins can unpublish it.

Very nice guide!

You can tell you know how to play everyone's favorite cow very well!
I like how you build up the guide and you intro is awesome.
Everything you'd ever need to know about playing is in there, all the tips and tricks.
This is absolutely the guide to go to if anyone wants to learn more about !

Thanks a lot,
Before your Guide i had a 38% Winrate + horror MMR ( alrdy thought about newacc) and feeled
sometimes totally useless like an 0/0/20 Janna or so^^
With your Guide i will never change my Champion, only Alistar+
My MMR is very good i earn at least 22+ Points and my Winrate went from 38% to 46% in 2 days =)
Cow is Life lul
You made that happen Sir crusher ^^

You made that happen
However, I suggest learning 1 or 2 champions in addition to Alistar
as it will give you more flexibility and experience and ultimately help you become a better support player
Not to mention you will have a plan B in case Alistar gets banned

Nice guide

Naisuuuu

Im creeping up on your mastery score. I have almost 300,000 using Alistar in ARAM only :3

Click my name for my build to see what I've been up to. I came here to see what ppl do outside of Aram haha. Everything is sound in this guide, I might copy paste off you to save some time, if you don't mind.

My friends finally coaxed me to come to the rift last night but only if I get mid and using cow. I bullied Zed for fun. Was slow and boring. I'm used to dealing with 5 enemy champs at once. Had no idea what to build so I just decided gauntlets because cdr, armor, slow, Sheen, Lol. They had 2 other AD champs. Their AP were skillshot-reliant. Who really wins that match up? Zed was scared and farming far away.

Basically, you have the best guide outside of ARAM so far. Just curious what ppl are doing with him in mid. Could you describe Alistar as a jungler. I ran various approaches and I feel fat and slow. Support role is slow and boring. I don't have time for 2v2 squabbles. I rather hope rngesus give me the cow in aram

Hello and thank you

Its no surprise that you won. I would say that Alistar is a strong pick against Zed. He will bully you in the first few levels, but post level 6 It's very difficult for Zed to kill you

Alistar in the jungle: Very slow clear, weak duelist but strong ganks. In low MMR can be viable and op dare I say.
But In high elo, I don't think so.

Experiment with builds and runes and see for yourself.

Finally, yes you can paste no worries and if you have any questions plz ask them on stream if possible. I hate typing :P

Cool thanks, I'm always editing my guide, reading other guide layouts, too. I never watch any streams. But thanks for offer. Yeah, indeed, I experiment on the fly in ARAM. I just need to get the champs. This month will be dark harvest only in Aram. ^_^

Amazing Alistar Guide! Really well structured, humorous , visually appealing and easy-to-read format. Great job on explaining how & how NOT to play him as well as What/what not to build. This guide is so good even beginners and pros alike can gain new knowledge, great combos section. Keep up the great work!

I am flattered. Thank you for the kind words

Well done for your guide bro! I see that you made a lot of work. I have a question for you: for a new player (im lv 1 alistar) which runes do you recommend and which playstyle? Aggressive as fck, or Super passive, play w/ your ADC or I engage first?
Thx again and well done.

Hello and thank you,

It depends on the matchup dynamics and the team compositions, but generally, you want to adopt an aggressive playstyle

As for the runes, please have a look at the "TBSRTA" in the rune section

Finally, you should be with your ADC only when it needs you (farm, defend it from a gank, a dive etc)
When you are not with your ADC you should be trying to establish vision, look for ganks

Hope that helped

What are your thoughts on taking Ruby Sightstone for its passive that lowers actives' CD

Hello :D

20% item cdr means
FotM will have 48 (-12) cd
Redemption 96 (-24) cd
Locket 72 cd (-18) cd
IMO these extra seconds are not worth 1500 gold + 1 item slot
Unless you want to take ingenious hunter which will give you an additional 40% cdr (60% overall)
But then you will have to give up hexflash and future's market/celestial body (takes away a lot of playmake potential)
+By the time you finish ruby sightstone and Fotm the game will be at 20-25 and thats when you ll want to end the game, and Glory + Aegis + Hexflash will help you close out the game a lot more than ruby sightstone + FotM
