Today I'm going to talk about Alistar: The Minotaur, and how he's changed in the past and how I want him to change in the future.

| Original Alistar |
Alistar is a Support with massive amount of CC with his kit, a heal, and a ult great for any tank. But is the support role good for him? After reading his lore and looking at splash art, or just generally looking at his style. Alistar seems like he should be reworked to be a top lane bruiser, and punish his foes with his CC, I'll talk about this a bit more later.

| Black Alistar |
Alistar's Passive is called Trample. Whenever Alistar casts a spell he has a cow and deals damage to anything around him for a second or two.
 |
| Golden Alistar |
Alistar's Q is called Pulverize, Alistar smashes the ground dealing tons of damage and knocking up enemies in the air and stunning them when they hit the ground for 1.5 seconds.
 |
| Matador Alistar |
Alistar's W is called Headbutt, Alistar headbutts the enemy and deals tons of damage and knocking the enemy away. When combined with his Q perfectly, Alistar can run up to the enemy then smash them up causing them to not be knocked back.
 |
| Longhorn Alistar |
Alistar's E is called Triumphant Roar, where Alistar heals tons of health, also whenever an enemy minion or champion dies, the cooldown decreases.
 |
| Unchained Alistar |
Alistar's Ultimate is called Unbreakable Will, in which alistar loses any cc affect on him, gains attack damage, and has reduced physical and magical damage.
 |
| Infernal Alistar |
Alistar's abilitys and spells have changed a lot since the launch of this game. Originally Alistar's ult broke any CC like it does now, but then made him immune to spells, in turn he was almost invincible for 7 seconds.
Alistar's originally had a skill which had a passive and active ability, the passive just raised his damage, but the active makes you do more damage to towers, which is interesting to me becasue seeing something like that in league is almost Alien at max level he deals 60% more damage to towers, so if he was building pure damage he would pretty much destroy towers in a couple hits.

| Alistar's First Splash Art |
Alistar's lore says he was the mightiest warrior in his tribe of his cow/bull people, he constantly defended his tribe from ongoing dangers. He protected them from everything, until the Noxian army attacked, A Noxian general lured Alistar away from his village, and when he returned everything was set ablaze, and his family was killed. In his rage he attacked the Noxian troops killing hundreds of them, but he couldn't fight all of them, he was captured. Alistar then lived his life in Noxian prison as a source of entertainment, Noxians would set up bloodbath arenas in which Alistar always was forced to take part in. His once peaceful and protective soul has been twisted to a killing monster. Alistar would have gone insane if not for a servant girl named Ayelia, she planned his escape and he was free once again. After escaped he joined League of Legends to fight Noxians and find the girl who let him free.

Normally I would end the blog here, but today I want to talk about why Alistar should be changed into a top lane Bruiser rather than a wimpy support. After reading the lore, does he sound like someone who would have a healing spell? Alistar scales with AP even though all of his moves are physical based, his ult gives him AD but he scales with AP, if they reworked Alistar and kept his current ult, then changed the scaling of his Q and W from AP to AD, then replaced his heal with something else, he could be a great bruiser, I think Alistar is great, but I think this could be so much better for him, it fits his lore, and it just makes sense, Alistar deserves this.
Anyway, this is all about Alistar.
"If you intend to grab the bull by the horns as a summoner, Alistar might have something to say about that."
