15:51 Pekin "So I knocked her up then I.... Actually I don't know what just I did, I'm just pressing my buttons when they're up." Holy shit I couldn't breath for a minute 🤣
Cloud soul is underrated. Chasing, running away, and kiting are pretty important. and the out of combat ms may lead to a lot more map pressure and presence in the long run
@@jasonchangdalekrule That depends. Malph has to all in to pop one or two people at best and then has to disengage and play poke with Q. He's a one and done sort of champ. AP Alistar meanwhile can spam his abilities, not to mention he's point and click. W + Q will never miss where as people can flash or just walk out of Malph's ult.
@@jasonchangdalekrule on a full combo yes malphite does more damage but alistair can do his combo 2 times in a fight while tanking more than ap malphite and also having hard CC on all his abilities(except R)
Q + W with Horizon Focus at 369 AP deals **1193** dmg before mitigation. Showing my work: (220+275+(369*1.6)+10%); Base Q dmg + Base W dmg + AP*1.6(total of Q+W ap ratios) + 10% from Horizon. Q + W with Lich Bane at 344 AP deals **1294** dmg before mitigation. Showing my work: (220+275+(344*1.6)+(75% of 103)+(50% of 344); Base Q dmg + Base W dmg + AP*1.6 + Lich Bane proc Lich Bane is always more damage, unless you have no other items. In which case Lich Bane is worse than Horizon Focus. And just to further prove my point, I went ahead and did the calculations with full E damage included: Q + W + E with Horizon Focus deals **1628** dmg before mitigation. Showing my work: (220+275+200+(369*2.3)+10%; Base Q dmg + Base W dmg + Base E dmg + AP*2.3 + 10% from Horizon Focus. Q + W + E with Lich Bane at 344 AP deals **1735** dmg before mitigation. Showing my work: (220+275+80+(344*2.3)+(75% of 103)+(50% of 344); Base Q dmg + Base W dmg + Base E dmg + AP*2.3 + Lich Bane proc In closing: The only time Horizon Focus is ever better than Lich Bane is when you have no other items. And I truly mean 0 other items, because even Doran's Ring + Dark Seal + Protobelt is enough to beat Horizon. Horizon with only ProtoBelt+starting items is at 1068, Lich Bane with only ProtoBelt+starting items is at 1128. Lich Bane is just that much better than Horizon Focus. And yes, this is including the -25 AP, and no Deathcap doesn't change the math. The bigger your AP gets the worse the math shakes out for Horizon Focus. EDIT: Calculations for Lich Bane are assuming level 13 Alistar, the same level Pekin has at 20:46 when he buys Horizon Focus.
the only problem with lich bane is that you can't use it fast after the W E combo. and in this game, the stealth. otherwise, yeah it is more damage overall
@@TheMigthyPotato That is true, Lich Bane isn't easy to use after E since most people will run, but any time he can use Alistar combo he can use Lich Bane since his Q knock up lasts long enough for a single auto.
Really fun build I’ve been using. You play top Ali with heart steel but throw in a demonic. Overall you get about 8k health and 250 ap late game and it feels crazy nice.
phreak mentioned (in a podcast with yamatocannon) that ap ali buffs were to open up ap support mythics. you now have the option to go shurelyas without trolling
These buffs will make Alistar hybrid viable with Shurelia sometimes Zonhya and then items tanks, but the hype of Alistar Full AP will stop after a while
@@aegwynn4883 shurelyas doesn't really give much ap and zhonyas will be viable on him but his damage will fall off completely and his base damage is still low
I don’t know why I find his open palm smacking animation for his auto attack so fricking funny! Like killing the Asol under his tower with a slap made me giggle out loud
Why isn't lichbane on the table? You basically get a guaranteed auto with your combo and it gives everything you want. Ap, haste, ms and a 50% ap ratio auto which makes your burst combo a 230% ratio if you just wq auto walk away. This way you dont rely on protobelt active and flash to chase people down.
Day 154 of reminding Pekin before next April Fools to do both the “League streamer tucks you into bed ASMR” and the “Challenger player shows you how to cook frozen salmon”
yeah his clear is pretty miserable and holds him back from getting the gold he needs to snowball. You need extra points in E if you want to clear since hit for hit it does more damage than Q and is up more often.
The video "AP ALISTAR is getting BUFFED... AGAIN. | 13.4 - League of Legends" discusses the upcoming buff to the champion Alistar in the popular MOBA game League of Legends. The buff is focused on increasing Alistar's ability to deal damage with his abilities, particularly his Q ability, which will now deal more damage and have a shorter cooldown. While this may seem like good news for Alistar players, it also raises concerns about the impact of such changes on the balance of the game. MOBAs rely heavily on a delicate balance between different champions and their abilities, and even small changes can have significant ripple effects throughout the game. Moreover, buffs to specific champions can create a sense of imbalance and frustration among players who do not play that champion, as they may feel that they are at a disadvantage compared to those who do. This can lead to toxic behavior and a negative overall gaming experience for many players. That being said, it is important to acknowledge that buffs and nerfs are a natural part of game development, and can help to keep the game fresh and engaging for players. By carefully balancing the strengths and weaknesses of different champions, game developers can encourage players to try out new strategies and adapt to changing gameplay dynamics. Overall, while the buff to Alistar may be a cause for excitement among some players, it is important to approach such changes with caution and to consider the impact they may have on the overall balance and fairness of the game. By prioritizing a balanced and healthy gaming environment, developers and players can work together to ensure that League of Legends remains a fun and engaging game for all.
"This dragon kind of sucks" ??? It's literally the best one and has been for years now. It's not as bad as a couple years ago when it was like a 10% higher win rate than the other souls (something crazy like 98% win), but it's still widely considered to be the best one, no?
Isnt horizon applying only on non targeted abilities over 700 range or something? I dont think you getting that 10% true damage i think its pretty useless

That play was wild
Fyty
now that's something you don't want to hear when interviewing a rapist
Challenger gameplay right there.
Understandable, id also knock her up.

Exactly what i was about to say, imagine the kaisa ulting and going Home while kiting
Keep knocking them up Pekin 👊🐂
Hmmm :D
...Phrasing
He can knock up my mother any day
@@tsaimathb.9214 no no, let him speak…
@@tsaimathb.9214 I know what I said 👊🐂
Damn hes becoming the better AP malphite
nah, ap malph still has better range and damage (though alistar not needing ult to one shot is nice)

Can you explain to me have I use Alistar passive ?
What runes?
Pekins smirk at the "they crave blood" punchline 🥺

PLEASE BUFF AP RAKAN MORE INSTEAD RIOT this is fine still tho
Yeah, who needs engage supports, make them all go mid. Leave bot to Lux Xerath and Brand. All ADCs will love that:)
@@maxydey42 alistar will still be way more viable as a tank so will rakan.

Honestly AP Alistar is one of the funniest picks, you just say “fuck you” to one squishy at a time in a team fight
I don’t know why I find his open palm smacking animation for his auto attack so fricking funny! Like killing the Asol under his tower with a slap made me giggle out loud
8:54 Kai'sa's username probably accurate with the Alistar jump scare.
I love watching your AP Alistar videos! I wonder if he'll ever become a good jungler. His ganking power seems so much fun.
been playing ali mid because of you. definitely the most fun i've had mid lane this season
It’s nice that they give champs more than 1 play style
he is going to one shot bruisers now tho
Would AP Alistar work better with Phase Rush for the short trades in lane? Or is not having electrocute sacrificing too much damage
That Morg was so funny. Great video, per usual.
you once referred to veigar’s AP ratios as “the power of the GAR” and now that is the only name I have for it
is asol's bad early game going to join xerath's great ap ratios as a code word we can use to be sure it's the real pekin and not an imposter
how about Viktor's unmissable E
Only commenting so UA-cam algorithm boosts this video. Thanks for all the good stuff Pekin

i wonder if people will start to build everfrost now on Alistar because of the CC chain
Is there a reason you don't weave autos while waiting for your e to stack?
33:17 A ghost and then the sound of soul. Creepy
Your videos are literally the best thing on UA-cam
Blue pot @33:33 ? I am a gold scrub and I would 100% pick yellow pot. Am I wrong? --- good video 👍👍
Yes the moo moo dink donk champ, love him 😍
Thank you for the bedtime story
The first few seconds I always think there is something wrong with my headphones, because it's so quiet haha.
I dont udnerstand have the passive works ?
Where's the guy who reminds Pekin of the April fools cooking video and streamer tucks you into bed asmr?
When do you stream, I always seem to miss your stream
Who wins big celestial dragon or moo cow
W Max only when playing AP?
Pekinwoof has become Pekinmoo
the color has lost it's life lol
it has been desaturated! Thanks for the videos Pekin :)
Amazing vid, always love seeing these uncommon builds. Shame it was such a bot diff.
A classic game to show how hard it is to carry your team sometimes... even for a challenger
is crown sunfire viable?
loving the 40min vids
Day 154 of reminding Pekin before next April Fools to do both the “League streamer tucks you into bed ASMR” and the “Challenger player shows you how to cook frozen salmon”
I loved playing Alistar Jungle with Heart of Gold. Don't see those buffs helping his jungling though...
yeah his clear is pretty miserable and holds him back from getting the gold he needs to snowball. You need extra points in E if you want to clear since hit for hit it does more damage than Q and is up more often.

GPT?
damn even comments are being made by AI
wanna try playing lee sin mid? i saw people playing it and would like to watch u play :)
such a fun game +1 pekin
Very smart to have the viewer keep going Pyke adc so the enemy team don't FF15
Who will win? A literal cosmic god, or a cow?
Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary
Uh today we are playing alistar mid
apparently they need to buff him some more XD We need more flying cows in the rift xD
"This dragon kind of sucks" ???

2nd item Lichbane seems legitimate.
Runes 4:40
Love u pekin
Amumu mains can only go deep deeper and deepest
All hail the algorithm!
ap alistar doing more dmg than the fed kai'sa this game is either a pekin gap or a few hundred years of game design.
Not sure which tho...
I believe cloud soul has the highest win rate of all the dragon souls
Yayyy new video
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No.
Lose Streak: 478
You might be able to milk those
Those muted colours are messing with me.
Riot want Cow man to be strong
Last fight showed the lack of skill your team had. All signs showed that was a terrible position for them
I mean it was lost when they picked pyke adc and didn't end the game in 20 minutes.
Rylas on your E is fun, AOE slow
Pekin is so kinky, he likes finishing people up and knocking them up
33:15
the chat colours are physically painful
Too bad electrocute s so important, seems like AP Alistar would love having phase rush.
milkies
day 362 of asking for Samira mid pls
3 more...
Just press R earlier man hahah every time
Lich babe over horizon
🐂🐂🐂
Sheeeeet
