Keep in mind that Riot's partner in China (Well, now Riot's owners) run China's IM service. Everyone uses QQ. If they push LoL hard (and I can't imagine they wouldn't) it's gonna get a LOT of people playing in China. It's already reasonably popular here and they are in closed beta/people play on US. | ||

9/0/21, caster setup with (optional) HP quints and mres blues. Ignite/Ghost summoners. Open Doran's ring, then go 2 more Doran's Rings and sorc boots with EWEQER into R > E > W > Q skillbuild. Next go Abyssal Scepter into pure tanking items (Sunfire/FoN etc). I'm currently able to kill at levels 4-7 in one combo from roughly 60-75% life and it transitions into a great midgame as well. Still unsure about sorc boots (Abyssal + runes should be enough to penetrate 0 mres people), but the build looks pretty solid. With 1:1 AP ratio on E and great base damage (and the fact that all 4 of his skills are nukes) early-mid game damage is very very good. Opinions? Also, Maokai opens up very interesting wraithjack opportunities: Without any AP, 3 saplings will immediately do 240 damage in the wraith AoE, killing the three lesser wraiths (impossible to do anything to prevent this other than tank the saplings, but if they do, you get free damage to just walk in and take those wraiths by force) and leaving the greater one at 110 HP. With Doran's Ring and AP quints you will do 330 damage which leaves the larger one at 20 HP. If you start with Amp tome instead, you only need 2 extra AP from runes (or maybe Fervor) to instakill the whole camp. | ||

Also after E, which one of Q / W maxed is situational, Q is when youre opponents are mainly melee, because Q is on a much shorter CD than W so you will be disrupting their carries when they charge in you. W is better if you are a carry chaser. Thats my take on it atlesat When you combo you W in, throw your E at your target, then Q, then R to survive / uber burst if they dnt run away, R is your coup de grace. Maokai is so fun because people dont know how high his burst is. Though stacking doran rings is something I have to try out, it deffinitly sounds like something I could make use off as a variation.. Remember if you wanna build maokai as pure tank, you ignore the E outside of 1 point at lvl 1. Q/W maxed first. E at lvl 1 is essential in that you can help your jungler soo much, | ||

Btw, just realized that his saplings last 35 seconds and the CD for 3 saplings is 36 seconds. So with a moderate amount of CDR you will be able to stack 4 saplings with good timings which is going to kill a wraith camp without any AP. | ||

I need to actually check his skill description. Nope skill description just says "reduces sight range". But it's the summoner's sight range since you can see your allies on the minimap. You don't actually see what your champion sees ever. | ||

I assumed that if you leash as top, you can a) get back to lane in time and b) you can leash it so blue aggros to jungler instead of gaining hp back. Assuming those two are correct, I see no reason for top to not leash it. It was Malphite. @Hazmat, then you zone them out of a couple cs and possibly even exp. If you can't, continue on. Tested out leashing for top, and if you walk top from river you don't miss cs. I think if you walk the long way (if that makes blue re-aggro correctly) you may miss one or two. It's not that I'm not missing cs mid, it's that Malphite who was top has nothing to lose as well, assuming the two conditions I say earlier. If Blue regains health it's the jungler's fault for standing beyond leash range when Blue reaches its max distance from spawn. Which lane leashes it from what angle with what ability is irrelevant. More importantly, having 2-3 people help with leashing and hitting blue a few times makes jungling much safer. The question to ask is not whether top or mid should leash Blue but why they aren't both there, assuming you're playing on blue side. On purple side the top lane has a long enough run time that they probably shouldn't help the jungler at Blue and should instead cover their wraiths for a few moments before going to lane. It's also possible to increase the benefit of leashing with stuns/disables and repositioning abilities. Alistar's knockup/headbutt, Poppy's wall slam, Cho'Gath's knockup, and other abilities can significantly increase the number of hits the jungler gets in before Blue leashes. In this scenario typically 1 person will leash and another will disable while the jungler autos. | ||

As for Volley, there's no way you'll volley someone at lvl 1 unless you're trying to push your lane and even then, volley won't hit them unless they're really unlucky/bad. Someone who gets to lane without leashing gets there faster. Like 5+ seconds faster. Within those 5+ seconds, you can get lane control. Pretty huge in certain matchups. For ashe, you can block routes to creep lane by just getting there faster and keep them out of range until their second creep wave comes. | ||
