Is Alistar better when played alongside Zac?

There is no perfect ally for Alistar that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. Yet, overall, Zac is a very typical teammate for Alistar. By locking into the same team as Alistar, he decreases their win rate by -0.4% to 49.0%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small bond between Alistar and Zac that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zac has a greater difficulty than Alistar. That means Alistar players need to be cautious when lining up Zac allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. When paired, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

In contrast, by grouping Alistar and Zac together, you will not be providing your other allies very much sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their potential.

Regardless of your Zac ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
