[2.0.0] Alistar Guide - How to properly support with Alistar

As a starting item always pick Boots of Speed , you need to rush the [locket enchant] for the first dragon fight or to help in a situational fight at bot lane, the type of boots is up to you i usually go for [ninja tabi] because you don't really need the tenacity from Mercury's Treads on alistar because your [alistar:ult] is a purify and botlane early will have more AD damage than AP damage. After the first dragon fight you rush for Zeke's Convergence because when a fight happens you will be in the middle of the enemy team hence the passive becomes super useful. The other items are very situational, a good rule of thumb is to learn wich items counter wich champions. This build is built around the current meta especially the Adaptive Helm is there to counter kennen's ult Slicing Maelstrom but it is also a very good option if your team has no ap ruling out an Abyssal Mask . Spirit Visage is also very situational, is a good option if the majority of the enemy team has ap based damage but feel free to swap it for a Warmog's Armor to get way more hp than the previous option.

Other than this get creative always try to find the best item combos against any champ because this is the basics of support especially on a tank like Alistar .
