what's the rational behind picking alistar as support? Alistar doesn't do much if he's not roaming or farmed with AP items and his healing is subpar and he usually only gets it level 3. The ad carry and alistar both get gimped on farm since the other team's proper support will keep their ad carry at full health. Support alistars always feed from what i've seen. Alistar basically just rams in, knocks them up, ults....dies. Bad players like to pick him as support and like to knock enemies away too. You can argue Alistar doesn't need farm to do his job but if you look at all the other supports (soraka, taric, janna), they have much more utility than alistar does and they can stay back for most of the fight resulting in minimal deaths.

Allistar doesn't need items to do his job, that's why. You might not accept that for some strange reason but that's just fact.

His Q W and R all make him great without a single item.


People pick him as support because he can heal his lanemate and it's hard to think of any champ that's better at babysitting a carry.

His W and Q just make it impossible to start a fight against him.


If his heal doesn't get nerfed he can end up being the best support in the game next patch.

Well first off you're wrong about Alistar not doing much without farm. He's not a damage dealer when put bot but his kit is still very effective without doing much damage. He's got good initation/peeling, some alright heals and his ult is still crazy good when he's bot lane with no farm.

Alistar can baby sit the carry a lot like Janna where as she can provide protection from damage through shields/knockups/slows and at the same time use those spells offensively for her carry as well. Alistar's heal is kind of meh compared to Soraka but that just means his ranged carry will have to take less hits in the lane. What he does better in the lane than Soraka is something like protecting his carry from getting jumped on by ganks. And when the time is right a good Alistar can easily leave his carry bot and go up to mid for a gank.

After the laning phase Alistar's role is nothing alike Soraka, Taric or Janna so you really can't compare the two. So yeah pretty much Alistar isn't even meant to be played as support even if he is put bot lane in the traditional "support" role. He can watch the carry get farm and buy some Gp/5 items but he definitely will not be sticking in the back during teamfights.

smurfing is fun

Selling all your items to full speed build when they have 3 inhibs down is even more fun (I killed that Lux so fast, lol)

And another reason why Alistar is used as a support is because his ratios have been severely nerfed so he's no longer viable as AP carry. Am I wrong ?

If someone teleports onto a ward while it's being attacked, will it become invulnerable like minions do, or can it be killed cancelling the teleport like on a tower?

I wouldn't call Ryze easy, either. His farming is one of the hardest for awhile.

Just like Annie, his autoattck animation is so fucking slow. Then you can last hit with Q but Annie's one doesn't cost Mana...

??

Annie has a very easy attack animation and very long range. It has 600/625 range. Ryze has ~525 range and lasthitting with Q early will screw you if you do it with any frequency.

The minion is already dead when the fireball comes at him. She is very slow. Or I have to reinstall my game.

You're doing something wrong then. She has one of the best animations/ranges and spells for farming.

Personally, I don't see why recommending casters with bad attack animations is a bad thing.

You recommend Ashe as the best carry to learn on because she punishes mistakes and forces you to learn good play. Same deal here. If you can lasthit on Ryze, you can lasthit on a lot of other champions.

Annie autoattack animation is really good actually. If you want to talk about bad animations, just look at swain.

Killing a tower doesn't cancel a teleport to it I think. It just teleports to the rubble of the tower (I think that's why the rubble is there.
