Across 719 recorded games on patch 16.13.1, Alistar wins 46.6% of the time against Vel’Koz. That places Vel’Koz among Alistar’s toughest opponents right now — the win rate sits clearly below the break-even line, which is exactly why this matchup is flagged as a counter.
Win rate and sample size are the two numbers to trust here: the more games behind a matchup, the more stable its rating from patch to patch. The stats refresh automatically every 48 hours from ranked games at Emerald and above, so this page always reflects the current meta rather than an old snapshot.
