While statistically Alistar is slightly stronger than Pantheon as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Alistar deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (88.51%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.
An important advantage of Alistar is superior vision control (ranked 5th among supports) (versus 30th for Pantheon), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Alistar player to maintain constant pressure on Pantheon, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
