alistar can do differently. malph has a larger focus on attack damage, while alistar looks towards ability power. you wouldnt see an AP malph, just like you wont see an AD alistar, but there are tank setups for both of them, and AD malphs and AP alistars a plenty. Alistar is more popular because he has 2 DISABBLING crowd control abilities and an aoe heal, but lacks solo power, so on a coordinated team he is better. Malphite has only one disable (and that's his ult), and an aoe AS slow, but much better for solo queing as you can build tank and still take on strays.
