Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Alistar (5.3% pick rate, 16th most popular out of 52 Support champions) versus Milio (8.6%, 5th place). These two support titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Aftershock + Font of Life combination (50.3% win rate) plus optimal itemization Zeke's Convergence, Locket of the Iron Solari, Knight's Vow, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 45.3% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Alistar's superior warding (1.03 wards/min, 3rd among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Alistar outputs more damage (293 vs 219/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Milio: leads in both matchup win rate (54.7%) and KDA (3.70 vs 2.50, 2nd vs 26th place). Alistar players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Milio as Alistar (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Alistar deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Milio deals primarily magic damage (79.97%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Alistar is superior vision control (ranked 3rd among supports) (versus 42nd for Milio), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.7 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Alistar Support versus Milio Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Alistar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Milio player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Alistar tips:

  • Using Pulverize can allow you to establish better positioning for Headbutt.
  • Move Speed is very important on Alistar. Consider which boots to buy carefully.
  • Using Flash can allow you catch your target off guard to knock them back into your allies with Pulverize and Headbutt.

Playing Against Milio

  • Milio's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
  • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Milio.
  • Catching Milio with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
