Playing as Alistar

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Galio

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Trade after his E

    Take a trade after Justice Punch (E): it's his only dash, on an 11 to 7 second cooldown.

  2. Lean on physical damage

    If you deal physical damage, lean on it in trades: the passive shield of Shield of Durand (W) only absorbs magic damage.

  3. Leave his taunt area

    Leave the area while he charges Shield of Durand (W): the longer he charges, the longer and wider the taunt.

  4. Check where he is before a dive

    Before diving one of his allies, check where Galio is: Hero's Entrance (R) flies him in from long range to an allied champion, and his landing is a knock-up.
