Alistar
GameplayAlistar is a champion in League of Legends.[1]
Abilities
- Alistar does not gain stacks for unsuccessfully trying to apply crowd control, for instance against a crowd control immune target.
- Alistar will still gain a stack for unsuccessfully trying to knock back a spellshielded champion with Headbutt.(bug)
- Alistar will still gain a stack for unsuccessfully trying to knock back a
- Healing occurs simultaneously for Alistar and his allies.
- There is a VFX projectile (700 missile speed) that cannot be destroyed by Wind Wall and is unrelated to the actual heal.
- There is a VFX projectile (700 missile speed) that cannot be destroyed by
- Alistar loses all Triumph stacks upon dying.
- The dash speed depends on the inverse of the distance to the target:
- If Alistar's radius overlaps with his target's, he will dash with 1200 speed.
- If Alistar is further from his target than the previous condition, he will dash with (1200 × dash distance) / (dash distance - sum of radiuses).
- At maximum target range, against an enemy with a 65 gameplay radius (median of all champions), Alistar will dash with 1544 speed (reaching his target within 0.429 seconds).
- Both the lower the dash distance and the larger Alistar and/or his target, the faster the dash becomes; this scales hyperbolically.
- At maximum target range, against an enemy with a 65
- When Pulverize is buffered during the dash, the knockback distance is reduced to 200 units.
- The CC duration of the ability can be reduced by up-to 25% Tenacity, due to airborne not being reducible while the stun is.
- The knockback direction is in a straight line from Alistar's original location at start of cast and the enemy when Alistar's dash ends.
- Headbutt can knock enemies through terrain. The knockback stops short on walls that cannot be surpassed but the disable duration is not changed.
- The spell indicator for this ability also displays the direction for the knock back relative to Alistar's position.
- Alistar's attack range is reduced「 to -375 」「 by 500 」during Headbutt, to prevent him from being able to attack the target when he completes the dash.
- Displacement immunity will not resist the application of the stun.
- Headbutt may be used as a gap-closer to knock up enemies at the target location with Pulverize, additionally overriding Headbutt's knock back.
- Ultra Rapid Fire differences edit
- Headbutt's stun now ends as soon as the target reaches the end of its movement arc.
- Trample deals persistent area damage damage around Alistar, while the bonus damage on the resulting attack is proc damage.
- The stun and bonus damage are blocked by spell shields but the base attack damage is not.
- The on-hit effect is consumed if the attack blocked, but not if it is dodged or missed while Alistar is blinded. In all cases, the attack's effects are negated as normal.
- As it is an on-hit effect, the bonus damage and stun can be applied by Guinsoo's Rageblade's Phantom Hit.
- True damage cannot be reduced by any means and will deal full damage to Alistar during Unbreakable Will.
- Unbreakable Will's modifier to incoming damage stacks additively with Vladimir's Hemoplague for a total reduction of 45/55/65%.*
- Ultra Rapid Fire differences edit
- Duration reduced to 3.5 seconds. *

Always a mighty warrior with a fearsome reputation, Alistar seeks revenge for the death of his clan at the hands of the Noxian empire. Though he was enslaved and forced into the life of a gladiator, his unbreakable will was what kept him from truly becoming a beast. Now, free of the chains of his former masters, he fights in the name of the downtrodden and the disadvantaged, his rage as much a weapon as his horns, hooves and fists.

Trivia
- Alistar is voiced by Harlan Hogan.
- Alistar is an alternative form of Alistair, the Anglicized form of Scottish Gaelic Alasdair, ultimately from Ancient Greek Ἀλέξανδρος, meaning "Defender": from PIE roots *h₂lek- "to ward off, to defend" and *h₂nḗr "man"[2]
- During Alpha Test, he was simply called 'Minotaur'.
- Alistar was deemed overpowered/obnoxious in the Ultra Rapid Fire game mode (available in April 2014) and was ultimately disabled in non-custom games.
- Alistar's Series 1 Eternals make the following references:
- By the Horns references the phrase take the bull by the horns.
- Indomita-Bull is a pun on the words "indomitable" and "bull".
- Matador is another term for bullfighter.
