User blog comment:Astanas7/The antiquated and frustrating art of Butt-Stomping/@comment-9369480-20130925181911

I play Alistar a bunch. He's my main support. That said, I almost never do the "butt-stomp" gameplay. More often than not, I go heavy tank with Randuin's and IBG, pretty much making it impossible for them to escape anyway. W their carry into a wall, Q them into the air, and pop the ult. Take down the carry and their support, then tank the turret shots for my carry.

Works great in the splitpush gameplay too.

He is in fine shape as he is. I rarely die in his current state, and I get plenty of assists and even a few kills due to the beefiness he offers.
