On April 03 2014 04:29 Alaric wrote: I don't play Maokai anymore, maybe I should pester Diamond for more info and try him again but well... s3 wasn't too kind with him, s4 even less. I did take Q at level 1 when I saw match-ups favourable to level 2 ganks, and either skill W or E at 2 depending on if I wanted to get my second buff or go ruin somebody's day. He's pretty good. Only thing that sucks is you 100% need the 2nd blue and late blues (6th or so and beyond) no matter how fed you are which other junglers can pass it off if super fed. He's better in 2v2 scraps than most junglers not named Lee Sin, he does more damage pre-6 than anyone but Lee/isolated target vs Kha'Zix, and does not even need a leash anymore. Twisted advance is even better these days because no one remembers it chases thru flash, so you will often gank a lane get the kill/assist and pull their summoners. It's such a stupidly strong skill. You can lvl 2 gank with it as you mentioned, but level 2 ganks are so meh now as you for sure lose ur 2nd buff. His big flaw I see is he sucks ass at ganking mid early vs things like LB, however vs certain picks like Hiemer is one of the best (Twisted Advance > Turret nest). Honestly I think he's not used because high level players have not tried him with offensive runes/masteries. He's pretty lackluster with S2 runes (which I see everyone run) and 0/21/9 (which I see everyone run). Feel like it's how everyone thought Eve was nerfed out of the game until Diamondprox played her AD/Tank Hybrid. Needs a new perspective, because the old way just sucks now. If you want to play Maokai I think you need to make sure Lee is banned. He just does the same things you do but better. It's actually baffling he's not picked with every jungler doing the 1-2 dmg item/3-4 tank/boots now, he does very well with that setup. | ||

That was a big part of his silhouette imo, gave him that sneazy air and kind of a "scoundrel" look. I don't want a slim Twitch. I kinda dislike that as well. Before opening, I expected them to keep the sort of hunchbacked-pikachu silhouette. Doesn't look like what I expected. I think the model needs to gain about 50lbs. | ||

Diamond, I'm assuming you go MPen (or hybrid)/armour/AP/AP, 21-9-0 (I don't think many can be ran otherwise anyway, 'cept maybe Mundo or Nautilus who get so little from offensive tree), machette+5 -> stone + boots -> wraith spirit -> sunfire/mercs/randuin's/Banshee depending on the flow and compositions? I used to run R>Q>W>E because it's better mana-wise for clearing and provides better cc, I assume if you gank a bunch you want E max for burst as long as mana allows? | ||

if you only played 6 games ever in your life? then yes. If you've played 500 games of LOL, then you are actually quite likely to see such streaks. This is not odd or rare*. http://maxgriffin.net/CalcStreaks.shtml I think it comes out to something like 2.5 per hundred players in LOL, after 500 games, will see at least 1 such streak. So, there's a 12.5% chance that of your 500 games played, you will have been the same pick for 6 games in a row. *given the number of people playing league of legends this does not seem to indicate that their system is flawed, you are just unlucky. | ||

Honestly Naut with 21/9/0 and that page seemed very nice too. I got a medicore leash and didn't have to pop a potion until red buff. But I only played one game with him (went like 6/0/8) so it's hard to pull much from one game. As for the build here's the general things I go for in no particular order): Ancient Golem (increased passive, tenacity) Sorc's Abyssal (situational) Liandry's (Q and W both get increased %) Sunfire Randuin's Spirit Visage I max R>Q>W>E. I sometimes in more farm heavy games will put a 2nd or 3rd point in E, but it's unreliable dmg vs champions, so I never max it early. Q is your reliable damage, and W is too as well as enhancing the root. | ||

MPen sucks arse in jungle because nothing has MR. You either take Hybrid for more effectiveness later while not having a clear slower than continental drift, or AS to try and get going faster. | ||
