^har har har. To both replies. First reply: Alistar is my main tank and he is nothing like Taric. Their heals function on complete ends of the spectrum: Alistar's is for sustaining pushes and quick bandaging after team fights. Taric's functions as an SOS heal. Other than that, Alistar can't buff or debuff and he concentrates more heavily on CC. He's also not as versatile as Taric, who can assume several roles in any given game. And as far as TANKING goes--you know, that thing that TANKS do--I've seen Taric get focused and sponge entire teams long enough for his allies to wipe the floor with them. Alistar can take a lot of punishment but he secures the kill by CCing, not being a sponge. Two very different champions. ==The second reply isn't even worth my time. As for the original poster: My first thought when I see a Zilean in champ selection, or whenever I see a support for that matter, is "I hope this guy knows what he's doing." If he does, he usually ends up securing victory and also makes it impossible to lose team fights. And his innate isn't too bad for the team either.
