Guide to Synergizing Talon and Alistar

Tips for Playing as Talon with Alistar

Shadow Assault is a powerful escape tool, but can also be offensively used to assault a group.

You can use Assassin's Path to get behind the enemy and set up for Noxian Diplomacy's melee attack.

Remember to pick your target before the fight. Focusing all of Talon's abilities on one target can be very rewarding, but splitting them up between many may leave you helpless.

Advice to Understand How Alistar Will Play

Using Flash can allow you catch your target off guard to knock them back into your allies with Pulverize and Headbutt.

Move Speed is very important on Alistar. Consider which boots to buy carefully.

Using Pulverize can allow you to establish better positioning for Headbutt.

Overall, Talon sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Alistar. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Alistar.

Is Talon better when played alongside Alistar?

There is no ideal champion pairing for Talon that will 100% of the time be his best ally. However, overall, Alistar is a very typical companion for Talon. By locking into the same team as Talon, he raises their win rate by 0.1% to 49.1%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Talon and Alistar that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Alistar has a lower difficulty than Talon. That means Talon players don't need to be very careful when lining up Alistar teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Talon players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

Conversely, by bringing Talon and Alistar together, you will not be providing your side much AP. Plan to have other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in their potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Alistar ally, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
