They need to fix Alistars W/Q thing. In my Opinion it's a bug that you can chain these abilitys, but the Char is balanced with this option in mind. If you have a bad ping it's nearly impossible to combo it... If it's not a bug they should make it more reliable.

Also Alistar was a thing when support junglers where meta. He got nerfed realy hard since he got abused by pros in the jungle. Support jungler are dead and Alistar is now a sad cow. Sitting on high couldowns + crazy manacosts and gets nearly no scaling to compansate this.

And his so called "heal" is not worth the mana...
