How to Beat Alistar as Morgana (Support)

The Morgana 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 Morgana 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.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Alistar, ranking 12th (versus 34th for Morgana) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Morgana Support versus Alistar Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Morgana 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.

Morgana tips:

  • Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
  • Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
  • Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

Playing Against Alistar

  • Alistar is very disruptive but very tough - try to target more fragile damage dealers.
  • Watch out for the Pulverize-Headbutt combo when around turrets.
  • When Alistar uses his ultimate, it's often better to move back and wait until the effect wears off before attacking him.
