This is my guide to another off beat jungler, the Matador himself, Alistar. I love Alistar and I count him as my first main. He is a great support, darn good top and a surprisingly good (although sometimes situational) jungler. I do want to say right off the top, he doesn't work unless you have some heavy damage dealers, preferably with a top lane carry as well, like a Fiora or Trynd. In this guide I will go over item builds, runes and masteries, champion match-ups, and optimal jungle path. Let's Wombo Combo forward

Ok With Ali's slow early level camp clear I tend to go frog first. Now if you choose to, you can go W and try an early gank (recommended for blue side), otherwise I go E so I can sustain through wolves and krugs. I will then take my first back and get trailblazers then go ahead and go get blue buff hit frog and then move down to red buff krugs and either up to scuttle crab or raptors depending on what lane I'm wanting to gank next.

Pro's
-Great ganks as early as level 2
-Great late game tank
-Amazing CC
-Best peeler in game (IMO)
-Surprising AoE damage
-Passive that does turret damage
-Ult that makes you almost unkillable for a few seconds

Con's
-Low damage
-Slow clear speed
-Can get countered by strong dueling junglers and invaders
-If gets shutdown, will depend on ult for tankiness
-
