Playing as Alistar
Tips to maximize your impact
- Pulverize during your charge
Cast Pulverize (Q) during the Headbutt (W) charge: it's your core engage, and the target takes a knock-up as soon as you arrive.
- Stay in melee range during Trample
Stay in melee range during Trample (E): each pulse that hits a champion gives you a stack, and at max stacks your next auto stuns.
- Knock them toward your team
Get behind your target, then cast Headbutt (W) toward your team: the charge knocks them back along your path, straight into your allies.
- Cast your R when you get focused
Cast Unbreakable Will (R) when you dive under a tower or get focused: it removes all CC on you and reduces the damage you take.
Playing against Camille
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Trade after her Hookshot
Take a trade after her Hookshot (E): it's her only dash before level 6, on a 16 to 12 second cooldown.
- Get out of her leap's path
When she latches onto a wall with Hookshot (E), step out of her line: she has 1 second to leap, and the landing stuns nearby champions.
- Back off between her two Qs
Back off after the first Precision Protocol (Q) attack: if the second comes after a short delay, it hits harder and part of it ignores your armor.
- Fight inside her R, don't flee
Save your spells to fight inside The Hextech Ultimatum (R) rather than to flee: the trapped target can't leave the zone while it lasts.
