How to Play with Ahri as Alistar in LoL

The Alistar Ahri synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ahri, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Alistar sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Ahri. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Ahri helps Alistar perform not as well in competitive LoL matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Alistar tries to synergize with Ahri, he sees a little drop in his complete damage dealt. This change may indicate that Ahri does not support by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Alistar is played together with Ahri on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Ahri.

Moreover, when Alistar plays with Ahri on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Receiving not as much damage could mean that Ahri does a decent job of covering Alistar during teamfights.

Is Alistar better when played alongside Ahri?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Alistar that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. However, Ahri is a relatively poor companion for Alistar. By playing on the same side as Alistar, she drops their win rate by -2.5% to 46.9%. This demonstrates that there is a harmful bond between Alistar and Ahri that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Ahri has a lower difficulty than Alistar. That means you don't need to be cautious when finding Ahri teammates to play with, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.

When playing on the same side, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Together, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

In contrast, by grouping Alistar and Ahri together, you may not be giving your side very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Ahri ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
