Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

I like this idea. Take a bunch of damage, pop ult, go cow mode on the enemy.
This would make Alistar one of the scariest junglers ever.
Currently Playing: Battlefield 3 Premium, FFXIII-2
Alistar takes 10/20/30/40/50 damage, but grants a "Hamburger" item to all nearby allies that restores 100/200/300/400/500 health.
A nearby enemy Syndra may attempt to steal the hamburgers.
a successful hamburgle will grant all shaco's ingame an immediate skin change to Ronald McSchaco.

Q = Bull rush: your next attack deals bonus damage and knocks target back. You gain movement speed over time and ignore unit collision. Knock back distance increases with distance traveled while the ability is activated.
E = Triumphant Roar: After a delay, heal all friendly targets in an area. Heal increases by a portion of the damage taken by Alistar during duration. Minions heal by half. Activate again to trigger heal early.
Leave W and R as is.

They're removing the heal. So I'd be ok with ways to initiate better

maybe a vi like charge?
i really dont want an ali with a targettable initiate. that would result in a lot of free kills bot.
W is Bull Rush.
They're probably not changing q,w,r. They're changing e.
Those ideas are still terrible. Alistar is not a target you want to CC because his cooldowns are so long (and spells so expensive) that after they're blown he is just a sack of HP auto attacking. Now you uhh, really don't want to CC him? wooo.
In addition your idea leaves Alistar no way to initiate because he no longer has his gap closer on w (or his knockup on q, take your pick) which he absolutely needs in order to make both of his combos work (Flash, q->w, w->q)
Edit: I mean have there been any serious ideas here? You can't really give him anything but the minor sustain that he has. He simply has too much CC and dislocate in his kit to either
A: Give him more CC/Dislocate
B: Give him better initiation tools
And if he doesn't have that, then he needs a way to not get poked out of lane which means minor sustain.
There are two QoL buffs he could get that would make a difference. His passive could be changed and his e could not freeze him in place.
That'd probably do pretty well for Alistar as an idea.
olaf and mundo would like a word with you.

Except those build personal power that stays at a constant level based on how much health is missing. Which isn't what I was suggesting.
What happens in forge is the tank chick has 3 abilities related to this:
1: Determination, 10 second cooldown, grants a stack of determination on cast. Cooldown decreases every time the tank takes damage.
2: AOE Defense buff that's stronger the more determination you have
3: AOE offense buff that's stronger the more determination you have
Because we can't change alistars thing to give him two buffs and having it be a toggle like in forge would be brainless (in a fight, toggle buff!) you could re-work it to be something like:
e, Defiant Roar:
Passive: every time alistar takes damage he gains a stack of defiance up to a cap of X
Active: alistar bellows out in defiance, converting all stacks of defiance into X stat and Y stat (honestly it'd be pretty cool if it gave tenacity, even if that would likely be bullshit strong).
Essentially the difference in design there is that while Olaf at 20% HP is always getting the same amount of additional power and it's personal power. This E would mean that actual HP percent has no bearing on Alistar's defiance stacks and the power gained rather than being constant would be very brief and shared across the team.
Alistar deliberately walks over teemo mushrooms, wins

Well, I've been having an issue with Zed in the mid game where my raw AD just isn't high enough with Brutalizer + Cutlass, and things feel yucky because I can't secure kills to get over the hump and complete BotRK before it becomes a mediocre item.
So I said, "Self, is there an alternative to Brutalizer that will give me more raw AD but retain the CDR?"
And there was.
You don't miss the armor pen early, and I disagree that the proc has no synergy if you play W -> Q poke in the lane, like I do.
???
Poppy is still playable on SR. She has a few terrible match-ups top lane, but she's just as monstrous as always if you put her into a parity lane & get her farmed up. She's probably the best peeler in the game still (no longer a great adc assassin, but eh, I've never liked DFG all-in Poppy anyway).
Like, every single one.
also, i'd disagree with poppy being the best peeler? she has one knock back and her ult doesn't prevent the person she ults from damaging other people (if it does then I apologize )
poppy jungle ganks are mediocre, and she has little to no escapes top lane.
I'm kind of really aggressively hateful towards poppy but for real, she's basically the new Evelynn.
Most of her bad match-ups aren't 'OMG SO BAD!!!' - the issue is that she has a devastatingly terrible match-up against Jayce & a more or less equally terrible match-up against Teemo, and she doesn't have any good match-ups except against Singed. But if it's not Jayce or Teemo, you can just sit & farm under turret, buy Philo, buy Kage's, buy Avarice and just wait for Sheen / Brutalizer. Power should be in your favor after Sheen because it's so retarded when procced with Poppy's Q.
I don't rush BotRK on Zed now that they lowered the AD on it, so that's probably the difference. My first two items ideally will always be brutallizer and a BF sword. With those two items you're doing great early-mid game damage, and you're on your way to a BT, which is the best item on Zed because of just how ridiculously he scales with AD. Nothing wrong with building the elder lizard at all, just not my thing.
I also don't build BotRK on Zed any more unless I've already completed Brut, a BT, a last whisper, and I still feel like I want it for the slow/additional ult burst.
No - her ult causes you to rip their face off, so they can't kill your carry because they are dead.

Hyperbole!
Seriously, I'm sure all Poppy players still pine for the days of yore, when Philosopher Poppy was a thing. But the disappearance of that build hasn't somehow totally invalidated Poppy.
Poppy has farming problems. Poppy has a weak mid-game. Poppy can't trade well pre-Sheen.
Poppy is also a sickeningly powerful beast with a very abusable ulti if you can just get her farmed into Triforce / Ghostblade, which is not that expensive given the ridiculous power spike it imbues on Poppy.
There are only a few champs that she just straight up doesn't have a chance against, including (pre nerf) Olaf, Rumble, and Elise.
Support Poppy is also surprisingly good in certain compositions. She works well against Leona, Janna and - if you can dodge bind - Lux.
