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 Yuumi

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay behind your minions

    Keep minions between you and her: Prowling Projectile (Q) stops on the first enemy hit, and once accelerated, it slows hard.

  2. CC her as soon as she detaches

    If you have CC, save it for the moment she detaches: once immobilized, she can't recast You and Me! (W) for a while.

  3. Focus the champion carrying her

    Focus the champion carrying Yuumi: attached with You and Me! (W), she can only be targeted by towers, and without them she's left exposed.

  4. Cut her healing

    If you have Grievous Wounds, apply it to the champion carrying her: they receive her healing, including from Final Chapter (R).
