Hotshotgg: No reason to build sheen on alistar. Better to build tank.

The amount of tank I see hotshot getting (just checked some archives) amounts to no finished items at all which can work given his playstyle, but Sheen does scale with your base damage and gives you utility, and that's what I imagine most Alistar players going for. Because it works on him.

Also, how is that information dated? (Source?) Because a game from November 10 sees Hotshot going Locket (non-existant now) Visage, Merc Treads, Atma's, Null-Magic Mantle and Doran's Shield. That's not exactly tanky, that's CDR, health with some damage benefit. Why would Hotshot build Atma if damage isn't really that important?

Actually I think it's kind of silly to suggest that only one certain build is correct and all others are nonsense because a single pro player thinks so. I'd never claim that Sheen is always the best, but I just wanted to show that the item is not worthless.
As so often in LoL it probably depends on the situation: If you already have another main tank on the team it's likely the way to go, if you are the only tanky guy on your team, a full tank build is maybe better.

I really agree with gusterian here: your item build is almost entirely dependent on the game you are in. Is your team ahead? Does your team have little damage? Maybe the other team is really squishy- sheen might be a good idea. On the other hand your team might be getting demolished, just totally run over. Stacking doran's shields might be the way to go if you know you won't be building anything big soon especially with HoG nerfed.

Depends if that's Brotherhood or the older (worse) show.

(Wait, what is this thread now about again?)

EDIT: There we go, Cull, CLG.Chauster, on the same team with Hotshot in a match no less, did buy a Sheen on his roaming Alistar. They won.

Sheen is by no means worthless. smile

Takes about 200-250 games. Not using XP booster.
