Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Alistar versus Rakan matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. 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. Rakan has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
An important advantage of Alistar is superior vision control (ranked 3rd among supports) (versus 8th for Rakan), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.8 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Alistar player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Rakan 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.
