The Janna versus Alistar matchup as support is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Janna deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Alistar deals primarily magic damage (72.43%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Janna is superior vision control (ranked 9th among supports) (versus 12th for Alistar), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 3.3) 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 Janna player to maintain constant pressure on Alistar, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
