I dont know if i would buy litecoin to be honest, I thought it was kind of dead as well due to it not really being needed because of bitcoin. I know you could argue it the other way round since it came after bitcoin.
I just thought maybe theres a darkhorse out their that hasnt been given enough hype for people to buy into, kind of like ethereum before it kicked off. I had ample oportunitys to buy into it at really low prices but never bit, maybe the altcoin world is just going a bit stagnant for now.
