How to Play with Alistar as Poppy in LoL

Overall, Poppy sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Alistar. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Alistar helps Poppy perform poorer in competitive League matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.

This may signal that Alistar helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Poppy is played alongside Alistar on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Alistar.

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

Is Poppy better when played alongside Alistar?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Poppy that will always be her #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Alistar is a very typical ally for Poppy. By playing on the same team as Poppy, he improves their win rate by 0.4% to 50.1%. This shows that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Poppy and Alistar that results in them performing better together than alone.

Alistar has a greater difficulty than Poppy. That means Poppy players need to be careful when finding Alistar comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing cooperatively, Poppy players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. Together, these two will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Although, by bringing Poppy and Alistar together, you probably will not be providing your team much AP. We recommend you include other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Alistar teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
