I will say that Alistair is a support that only ever works if your ADC is good, because they need to understand the concept of "If the enemy isn't attack me, I should be attack them". Once you have max CDR, Alistar can do his combo around every 5 seconds. But early on in the laning phase, when you don't have enough CDR, you need to be auto attacking if your abilities are on CDR. Early on in the game, your autos hurt about as much as your ADC's. Make the enemy laners respect that.

In teamfights however, things get a bit more complex. If you're going to be initiation, you have to understand the concept of initiation and when to do it. For example, if an enemy Tryndamere is ghosting towards your ADC, now probably isn't the best time to dive into the enemy team. When this is happening, your role changes from initiator to disrupter. Alistair isn't the best initiator imo, but since he wants people to focus him, initiating is a good way to make that happen. I'd watch some videos made by a Youtube user named Scrap computer. He has extremely extensive guides on most ADCs and Supports. If you like those roles, that's where you want to be at.
