Alistar has terrible ratios, and only his Q+W actually do damage, as Oda pointed out almost every single mage beats him in ratios. His base damages are high because look at the cooldowns, they are exceptionally long, even for tanks. Moreover his Abilities aren't able to be fired off for harass and poke, they are what you go all-in with. Except once going in Ali doesn't have anything else to back up that damage, and relies on whoever he is supporting to back it up. If it is so strong there is nothing to stop you playing it btw.
