Is Alistar better when played alongside Zyra?

There is no universally accepted best champion pairing for Alistar that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. However, Zyra is a very bad ally for Alistar. By being on the same side as Alistar, she decreases their win rate by -9.4% to 40.0%. This shows that there is a very bad strategic relationship between Alistar and Zyra that allows them to perform worse together than alone.

Zyra has a lower difficulty than Alistar. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Zyra allies to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, Alistar players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can blast through enemies with magic damage.

Conversely, by pairing Alistar and Zyra together, you probably will not be granting your other teammates very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in their capabilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Zyra teammate, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
