Alistar really shouldn't be a tank, he should just take support/AP items because his ultimate does all the tanking he needs.

Not AP. Just support/tank items.

Shredded them to pieces.


Warwick + Yi + Shaco all on the same team = bad bad bad comp.

So much melee.
Get insta screwed by Veigar AoE Stuns, and Jarv + Nunu Ult combos

And how do you like that Blinding Dart from Teemo? ;)

Either way, some other tanky chars are Maokai, Mordekaiser, Jarvan, Garen and perhaps even Galio ^^



If someone can't stay alive in lane for 6:30 seconds on their own then they got problems.

I answered you? :S
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

By the end game, it's not uncommon for alistar to get a Rylai's Crystal Scepter or a Rod of Ages, which is basically what I meant. Also, alistar can get most of the tankiness he needs from support and AP items, though having a few tank items is preferred.

The only viable AP item for Alistar is ROA. Rylai is not very good.
