I was solo top vs morde

Denied him the whole time, killed him 3 times. He couldnt farm or anything and I got the tower. It was great. Maokai's combo is great and followed with ignite brings the pain

Ended up 13-4-16

But my team was horrible and we lost.

I bought: 3x doran ring, merc treads, spirit visage, frozen heart, abyss scep, aegis, then rylia's

I was doing really well with that.

Just played another game

I felt bad for the other team

Bottom lane: Poppy and I (Maokai) vs Irelia and Morde

We super smashed them.

Dude maokai is so good right now, open Dring -> dring -> sorc boots -> roa -> triforce -> whatever and sometimes toss a philo stone in there like chu8 does. Basically you win your lane and teamfights every time you show up if you farm well.

Tried no-sapling Maokai with roaming in mind recently and it felt very good. You don't really do THAT much damage early on, but your ganks are terrifying (both your disables are extremely reliable, unlike most roamers) and you're much more mana efficient than the sapling variance that has to b essentially after 2 combos.

Btw, Maokai is retardedly strong, I wonder how much time it will take for people to actually realize it, since it's like my highest win rate champ and I don't see anybody else playing him.

I played him since release, sup (on EU, okay)

I tried a hybrid build for shits and giggles (sheen, boots, triforce, abyssal, sunfire, woulda prolly gone for gunbalde (lol) or more damage, his passive keeps him alive soo good)

Just played him for the first time, seems very strong.

Sapphire+2 pot start into fast cata lets you spam E all you want, gives you very strong laning presence. Then go into RoA+tank items+sheen and you're very hard to kill while providing lots of utility and decent damage.

So since you're building RoA and Tri force, would you go armor pen or magic in that case?

+1 for magic pen on Maokai. His natural AS is so slow.

chu does it. yes I know it makes no sense (beyond triforce being #1 item and always being a good idea)

also please don't make treeman FOTM, he's my favorite champ behind Shen, and you can imagine how often I get to play Shen.
it's my first day

sheen procs add HUGE damage, your attackspeed goes up, your base damage is retarded high, it gives you movespeed and allows your passive to proc harder

it basically gives you an auto-attack that people have to worry about

love mao, tough I'm constantly playing him the same way as for now thats the only build I've had success with; You have iced his killing tree

does anyone use the saplings as wards in the bushes if you stretch yourself too much top/bottom lane? I've had mixed results, it can be a lifesaver if you have lots of mias but if nothing happens it drains your mana fast
I'll bite this hand that feeds me, and take it for my own!
