Extreme Threats

Ideal Synergies

Yasuo

Tiny

Not that much of a problem, if he goes on you just q+AA+w and you'll outtrade him.

Zed

Minor

He cannot burst you.

Talon

Tiny

If he jumps on you q+w him into your tower he will ff at 15. :)

Katarina

Tiny

CC her if she tries to ult or do anything, also avoid her daggers.

Xerath

Extreme

Xerath can outrange you and he will probably be a pain in the ass. Pick TP and play with you jungler.

LeBlanc

Major

She has a lot of mobility up her sleeve so it can be tricky. Play around her abiltiies.

Fizz

Minor

Compared to Zed and Talon he can engage more easily and has certain means of escape, other than that he's a dead fish.

Azir

Major

Really depends on how good he is, if he knows his tricks, he'll keep his range, watch out for his cooldowns and try to play around them.

Ekko

Minor

Ult his W and you should be out of trouble. Avoid his q and his passive early and you will outtrade him.

Annie

Major

She can keep her distance without a problem, farm like it's nothing and has a CC up her sleeve, use TP and coordinate with your jungle.

Aurelion Sol

Even

Depends on his level, he can outtrade you early, be sure to ping immediately if he leaves the lane. If he misses his Q you cane easily outtrade him. Also, if he fires his Q u can W and hope to get around it.

Malzahar

Even

Just ult his ult and you should be good, he has a lot of range which can be really annoying, just stay away from him and combo when he's out of abilities.

Ryze

Extreme

It is a skill matchup, he has CC, mobility and can outtrade you at any step, try to catch him off-guard and attack with you jungle.

Orianna

Even

Skill matchup entirely, fake engage constantly and make her think you will go in so she wastes abilities constantly.

Anivia

Major

There really is not a lot to do against her, she will not deal a lot of damage though she will clear waves quickly and roam. Try to get to her early so she won't use her scaling to get the better of you.

Akali

Even

Skill matchup entirely: she can W away of you but if she loses that privilege nothing can hold you back, unleash and outtrade the shit out of her. If she ults you w her into your tower.

Lux

Even

She can q you if you go in and she can tank most of you damage, play around her cooldowns and try to avoid her q at all cost, be as unpredictable as it gets.

Ahri

Extreme

If you go in she can easily charm you and full combo you, take TP and play it as safe as possible.

Syndra

Even

She can poke you a lot but she won't do any significant damage, her ult can be countered by yours.

Veigar

Even

If he cages you ult, immediately, you might even catch him off guard, if he ults you, ult. Your ult is your ace in the hole.

Ziggs

Even

He does not deal a lot of damage despite him being ranged, just keep your distance and trade when necessary, try to freeze the wave under your tower for convenience.

Zoe

Minor

She heavily relies on her drowsy which you can counter with your ult, just dodge her q and you should be good.

Vel'Koz

Major

If he hits his combo you're pretty dead, he has a lot of range (bigger than your combo) and his passive deals true damage which means your R won't get you out of it, yet still if he does full combo you and you R out of it you can interrupt it with your W so try doing that.

Cassiopeia

Even

She can be very annoying since she pokes a lot, use your ult to counter hers and be unpredictable. Try to trade and get out as safe as possible.

Neeko

Even

Just outtrade her, get in and get out, if you go in she might catch you with her root so try to play around her cooldowns and ult her ult.

Qiyana

Minor

If she tries to go in full trade her.

Intro

Hello, my name is Cornifa, I've been playing since S4, I peaked D4 back in s8, and this is my guide to Alistar on mid.
Always hated, and always will hate assassins on midlane so, I thought that Alistar would be a great pick for mid, with the new changes S11 brings I decided to try different build and it turns out it could not have worked better so with that being said, I highly encourage you to play Alistar mid, surprisingly enough is very valid.
Have fun!
