I play Alistar.
I rarely get kills.
This is how you're supposed to play a tank.
You are not supposed to take gold from your carries because you scale better with level than they do.
Assists and gold generating items are enough for you to get good tank items.
Make sure the tank you're playing has good crowd control, know how and when to use it.
gg, your carries rip though their team because they can't do anything. And you helped too!
I usually get scores like this:
2/0/30
1/3/28
etc
That's what a tank score looks like!
Every time I see an Alistar with AP items. I cry.
Play a caster if you want to play AP.
(I mean like, items that are AP and not tanky/AD in any way. Like doran's ring and deathcap. Getting abyssal scepter and trinity force is fine)
