W nerf is noticeable but seems fine once you get used to it. Probably matters more for running than assassinating. Haven't really felt the effects of E nerf yet. Luden's charge/spell nerf is a pretty big hit though.

If you watched MSI you notice that he is the #1 support if you are incompetent (Been true for almost ever, as evidenced by me not being terrible on him), however he is also pretty good if you are competent because he is Alistar and Q is the best non-ultimate support spell in the game. You said the same thing about Thresh on multiple occasions in the past. Also the same could easily be argued for Flay then.
Thresh is the best if your teammates are incompetent.
But is still really good.

Yes, I think her name was Palmela Handerson.

Short answer is "tank meta". Longer answer is
1) Support tanks allow a level of flexibility in top/jungle to be more offensive and still have two tanks on your team. Alistar is one of the tankier supports and so he fits well into this. He is additionally the tankiest if you're good about playing around when you have your ult. Which pro teams tend to be
2) Alistar's kit works well as engage and peel. This gives him the flexibility to be picked with a whombo team, or as peel for a hyper carry, or to mix/match as necessary for the situation. This means that a late alistar pick can go with most anything, an early alistar pick still allows compositional flexibility, and an alistar pick doesn't lose value if the game goes a certain way
3) Righteous Glory has reduced a lot of the need for talisman. Speed was always one of alistar's core weaknesses. It could be shored up with mobi's and talisman for the base speed and active but these don't have direct tank stats on them. And with no ult, Alistar is not all that tanky. So top laners being able to buy the engage/speed item and/or that item being available for him with direct tank stats have increased his overall power.

An interesting factor of the lb nerfs is that im pretty sure you can Q people mid-W and it will land before your W does.

How do you report scripters? Ran into the same Cass bot twice in a row and recorded the second game.

Is Eve actually good in SoloQ? I've tried to play her a couple games and just can't really figure out how to make her laning phase good (because I know that's her strongest point), I have no issue with flanking/teamfight positioning but my early game is absolute shit. Her first clear is just brutal. Anyone have experience with this champion? It's getting seriously mind-numbing just spamming Rek'sai (and Gragas if he makes it through bans)

Well, Eve was always somewhat good in soloqueue because people don't have clue about pink wards, warding camps or oracles but if you really want to win, better to find something else or just camp lanes instead of dying in jungle.

Is micro just as important to do as jungle champs that are naturally sort of beefy, such as Vi/J4? I don't jungle much, I should probably micro early if it saves a reasonable amount of HP.

Unless I am mistaken about the old values.
