Overall, Alistar sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Poppy. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

When Alistar is an ally to Poppy, he observes a little decrease in his total damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Poppy does not support by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Alistar is played alongside Poppy on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Poppy. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Poppy.

Moreover, when Alistar plays with Poppy on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Poppy does a decent job of protecting Alistar in team fights.
