EPTI picked him right after the patch and got 11 kills, I think the most I got pre-patch was 5. It may be that people don't realise he can just Ghost through minions off of a heal, but pre-patch my average game was 0-1/0-3/15+. W can now be used like a second flash if some one is attacking minions, but it would problebly be better to just heal and pass through the minions to keep W off cooldown. I'm starting to think that rushing a leviathan may actually be possible if you're not in the solo lane.

Just had a nice game with roaming cow where I stacked HoG/Philostones -> Sheen -> Deathcap -> Lichbane -> Zhonyas. QW was something retarded like 1.4k damage. It feels as if AD / AP / Aurabitch are all perfectly viable. | ||

Even after the hotfix that "fixed" this, I'm still unable to perform the combo 90% of the time. So either I'm doing it wrong, or it doesn't work properly vs. bots (was testing it in a practice game), or the combo doesn't work most of the time, now. | ||

Make it auto-smartcast, and W->Q as fast as possible. | ||

I'd never used smartcast before, so I looked up how to auto-smartcast, rebound my q-w-e keys to smartcast on those spells, and chaining Ali's W->Q is sooo easy now @_X With Brand free to play this week, chaining his E->Q also feels a LOT faster with auto-smartcast on, I bet this is also true for several other champions like Ryze and Jarman. Thanks for the tip, I need to try auto-smartcast some more, see if I can get used to it; it sounds like it could be a straight-up superior setup. I'm uncertain about auto-smartcasting R though, on some champions like Lux, Maokai, Fiddlesticks, Anivia, Annie and MF, it sounds like being a little slower on the cast is an acceptable tradeoff in exchange for being able to see the targeting reticle and making sure you aim your ult just right. | ||

I rebound shift-QWER to normal cast, so I can line up cross-map Ashe arrows the usual way but still have instant-cast point blank arrows if someone jumps on me for example. | ||

How did you do this? If I try to bind, say, Cast Spell 1 to Shift+Q, I get an error message saying "Cast Spell 1 cannot be bound as specified". EDIT: Nvm, found out it works if you edit it directly on the Input file @ C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/game/DATA/CFG to look like this evtCastSpell1=[Shift][q] evtCastSpell2=[Shift][w] evtCastSpell3=[Shift][e] evtCastSpell4=[r] evtSmartCastSpell1=[q] evtSmartCastSpell2=[w] evtSmartCastSpell3=[e] evtSmartCastSpell4=[Shift][r] (I still prefer having R to not be smart cast) | ||

I know, his opponents are caught at low HP in bad places all game long, the Alistar is massively fed and the comment near the end that says "ive never played against an ali before" is pretty telling. But what the vid taught me is that apparently, even though the patch notes don't mention it, Headbutt stuns targets for a significant time after moving them now. | ||
