Riot disabling Alistar in LoL Arena
After being one of the most popular and favorite champions in the newest game mode, LoL players won’t be able to see the cow in action for a while.
Riot Games dev team officially announced through a tweet that Alistar, one of the strongest champions in LoL Arena, won’t be available for future matches. He will be temporarily disabled as the dev team is looking to resolve a bug with his ult. That being said, they didn’t dive deeper into the issues that have caused such a decision but mentioned that the glitch is related to his ultimate and is triggered occasionally in some lobbies.
The ultimate, Unbreakable Will, is probably one of the most powerful abilities in LoL Arena. It makes the champion cleanse all crowd controls upon cast while reducing both physical and magic damage sources. To be honest, any bug that would make the ability stronger would make the cow overpowered, so it’s not surprising to see the devs patching him out.
According to some players, they felt like the bug made him “completely immortal” due to the high percentage damage reductions and thanks to his tanky build, he would take basically no damage at all. And once the circle of death would shrink, Alistar would become broken due to his ability to knock targets out of the circle with Headbutt, quickly chunking their health bars.
No information on when Alistar comes back
For now, however, players won’t have to deal with Alistar anymore, even though there are many other team comps and champions that are equally or even more powerful than the cow. Riot devs didn’t give details on when Alistar will return so all we can do is wait.
That said, Patch 13.15 is out and alongside the Summoners’ Rift changes, Riot also tweaked some champions for LoL Arena, so there will be a shift in power among the best champions in the 2v2v2v2 game mode. And while we wait for Alistar’s bugfix, players will have to spend some time finding out the new power picks.
