Alistar Build Guide by make alistar great again

Garen

He hurts too much and counters your ult with his. I ban him every game.

Illaoi

Illaoi is a very strong top laner, and Alistar is only a very strong Alistar. Avoid this matchup – consider switching lanes with mid if possible.

Urgot

So far I had great success against Urgot. Tip: Short fights, bait out his E and then counter-attack.

Fiora

This matchup depends on whether Fiora can block your combo with her W. Tip: Get ahead early, bait her W, avoid longer fights

Jax

Don't mess up early and you will have a very easy lane. Tip: Let him go in with his E, cast E before he stuns you, then after his stun fades you can stun him and then knock him under your turret.

Akali

Annoying, but usually she can't really do much to you (except for early game 1-5 lvl). Tip: Buy red trinket, play around your turret early.

Irelia

Play safe, try to get ganks early. Don't make mistakes - they will be very costly. Tip: Try to disengage and play safe until you have at least Bami.

Sett

Don't force fights too much, try to play around your tower early, and negate his ult using yours.

Darius

I haven't played against Darius yet, and I don't want to.

Teemo

Cho'Gath

Possibly dangerous, haven't tested yet.

Kayle

Most of kayles play very passively until they get level 6. Try to abuse that, and you will have an easy lane.

Lissandra

Can be a tough match up, but you should have more damage and be tankier than her. Get +16 magic resistance runes.

Aatrox

You have burst and can disengage longer fights if needed, he shouldn't be a problem.

Rengar

Unless he cheeses you out early game, there's not much he can do against you.

Dr. Mundo

He won't be able to kill you, but you won't be able to kill him (unless his ult is down).

Gnar

You will outdamage his small form, but Mega Gnar can take you down. Also, try to not get poked too hard.

Nasus

The more you abuse him early game, the easier it will be later on.

Mordekaiser

If he plays correctly, he will outdamage you. Avoid picking Alistar vs Morde (or switch lanes to mid)

Ryze

This matchup is up to whoever can burst the other player down. (Get +16 magic resistance and try to win early game).

Yorick

He can harrass you from afar and outdamage your all-ins. Try to avoid this matchup.

Vladimir

Annoying, but not unwinnable. Most likely you are going to push him down his turret – do NOT dive him!

Gangplank

Should not be a problem.
