How to Counter Alistar

Exploit Alistar's limited range: Good positioning can make it extremely difficult for Alistar to engage. Keep a distance and poke him from a range where he cannot retaliate.

Punish Alistar's early game: His first power spike comes at level 2, but before he reaches it, he lacks the crowd control tools for skirmishes. Use this window to put pressure on him.

Alistar's strength lies in teamwork: He relies heavily on his team for engaging with his W>Q combo. If Alistar is forced to work alone, he's much less effective and can be easier to neutralise.

Be wary of Alistar's roaming potential: After picking up his boots, Alistar can exert pressure across the map. Stay aware of his position, especially when laners are missing.

Stay off from Alistar's ultimate: It provides him with a massive damage reduction, making him a formidable frontline champion. Try to bait out his ultimate before fully committing to a team fight.

Keep track of Alistar's cooldowns: Alistar can be very vulnerable during the cooldowns of his abilities. This is your best window to win trades or engage on him.

Develop strategies against late game Alistar: He can become extremely tanky in late game, and his crowd control abilities can turn a team fight around. Disengage if he's aiming for a multi-person knock-up and reengage once he's used his abilities.
