Is Thresh better when played alongside Alistar?

There is no one best ally for Thresh that will no matter what be his top synergy. However, overall, Alistar is a terrible ally for Thresh. By playing on the same side as Thresh, he decreases their win rate by -13.2% to 35.3%. This shows that there is a terrible bond between Thresh and Alistar that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.

Alistar has a lower difficulty than Thresh. That means you don't need to be very careful when lining up Alistar teammates to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, Thresh players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these two may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Although, by grouping Thresh and Alistar together, you probably will not be granting your team much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to have other champs on your team that offsets this relative gap in their abilities.

Regardless of your Alistar ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
