Alistar has a lower difficulty than Ekko. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Alistar comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.
Working on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to support your allies. Combined, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Although, by bringing Ekko and Alistar together, you will not be providing your other allies a lot of AD. Plan to bring other champions on your team that offsets this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Alistar ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
