Fighting cooperatively, Thresh players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Regardless of your Alistar ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
