Statistical Matchup Analysis

Current meta showdown: Alistar (4.9% pick rate, 16th most popular out of 53 Support champions) versus Yuumi (5.8%, 12th place). These two support titans clash constantly, making matchup mastery a decisive factor in your climb.

This suggests you win through macro influence and clutch plays in key moments rather than consistent individual performance.

How to Beat Yuumi as Alistar (Support)

The Alistar versus Yuumi matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.

The magic damage that Alistar deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Yuumi deals primarily magic damage (91.64%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Alistar is superior vision control (ranked 16th among supports) (versus 50th for Yuumi), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (4.5 versus 2.5) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Alistar Support versus Yuumi Support matchup

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 Yuumi, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
