Is Alistar better when played alongside Vex?

There is no ideal companion for Alistar that will always be his best ally. However, Vex is a relatively poor teammate for Alistar. By being on the same side as Alistar, they decreases their win rate by -1.7% to 47.7%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative bond between Alistar and Vex that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Vex has a much lower diffuclty than Alistar. That means Alistar players don't need to be cautious when arranging Vex allies to play with, as they will require a much lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Together, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by bringing Alistar and Vex together, you will not be giving your other allies enough magical damage output. Make sure to include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Vex teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
