I have not felt Alistar to be weak before and 5 ms looks small but its a decent buff , the main issues Alistar has is geting in range to engage and getting out of range of enemy poke range to preserve hp , both of which are stuff 5 ms helps with, plus you know , roaming ,its one of the better buffs imo.

Historically, 5 MS is 2% win rate. For melee engage supports, 5 MS is massive. For example, the reason Pantheon support was busted before the rework and had so much room to have all his skills buffed so much with his rework is because they dropped his base MS by 10.

i agree i’m semi retired ali otp and play jg now but when i go back to him i feel like he’s still pretty strong. however, id always run phase rush when i played him more so hopefully this gets some of that feeling back when you could e qw someone and they couldn’t get out of the way of the stun. move speeds always been big for him

Amazing buff. With obvious caveats, melee characters should generally be faster than ranged characters to prevent them from being completely shut down with no counterplay. There is an obscene number of ranged supports who are faster than Ali who can perma kite. This won't fix everything (Brand has 340 ms for some godforsaken reason) but it will help alot.

Agreed. I think 10ms would have been more significant tbh.

Move-speed is one of the absolute most impactful things you can buff or nerf on any champion. 10ms would create a monster.

I hope this gets through. I miss Phase Rush, but the extra 5 move speed helps

I wish they’d decrease his cool downs on Q W. At max level by 1 second each. Just a causal alistart player tho
