Everything You Need to Know About Matador Alistar

The Basics

Looking to spice up your games with a killer new look for Alistar? Let's dive into everything you need to know about Matador Alistar, a unique skin for Alistar. This skin is all about giving your favorite champion a fresh new look!

Quick Facts

Price: 975 RP

Released: 2010-05-11

Rarity: Common

Available: Legacy

Since its release on 2010-05-11, this Common tier skin has become a legacy skin. This means it's no longer available for purchase in the store, but you might be able to get it from chests, rerolling skins, or during specific periods in the year when Riot brings it back.

What Makes This Skin Special

Let's talk about what makes Matador Alistar worth your RP. At 975 RP, you're getting a relatively cheap skin with decent quality visuals, sometimes even some new animations or effects.

Here's what you get with Matador Alistar: While this skin doesn't add new effects or animations, it offers a visual redesign that gives Alistar a fresh look on the Rift.

Unlike some skins that come with a rainbow of chromas, Matador Alistar keeps it focused with just the base design. So sadly, no chroma options here.

One thing to keep in mind: this skin is available through the loot system. So if you're the type to save your RP, you might get lucky with a hextech chest or event orb. But don't count on it - if you really want this skin, buying it directly is your best bet.

Who made Matador Alistar?

Ever wonder who's responsible for making these skins? We'll break it down for you:

When you hear Matador Alistar in game, you're listening to the work of voice actor Harlan Hogan, who brings real personality to the lines.

Riot hasn't revealed who created the splash art for Matador Alistar, but we can appreciate the effort that went into it regardless. This could mean the splash art of Matador Alistar was created by Riot's internal team, or perhaps still a freelance artist that hasn't been revealed yet.
