If you can't reach your target by your Q and have to play the catch up game with your MS, you probably shouldn't be initiating. This is horrible logic. Maokai has a long gapcloser and runs MS quints AND has shurelia as a core item. Initiates don't happen within the 1100 range of bandage toss; they happen when your opponent thinks they're safe then you suddenly cover more ground than they expect. MS is also extremely important for ganks. | ||

9/21/0 taking AP in Offense and standard Defense junk MPen Red, Armour Yellow, Scaling AP Blue, Flat AP Quints WEEQ R>Q>E>W Machete + 5Pot Boots 1 Spirit Stone + 2 Drings Spirit of the Ancient Golem Abyssal Bulwark Rylai's/WotA DCap I like to max bandage toss before E as due to the new camp health distribution it seems to be a faster clear(haven't compared the two but makes sense in my head), you get to do a ridiculous amount of damage while maintaining a pretty decent chunk of your tankiness(helps if you have a tankier top) and on the plus side it makes solo queue games very, very easy to carry with if you get a kill or two early as your level 6 combo with 2 Drings can take out 65%~ of most peoples health. | ||

if you have spirit stone and giant's belt you're paying 600g for 30 armor, 100 hp, and tenacity (+5% monster damage). compared to 1500g for 45 armor, 50 hp, and the sunfire damage. | ||

I started E throughout Season 2 because it was the most robust opening. There wasn't a significant speed difference between the two, but you took less damage with E and if you were chased away from your Blue E was better for clearing small camps. But W is definitely better to grab at level 1 now, without question. | ||

If you have a skillshot gapcloser that relies on hitting a target, then moving slightly faster that allows you to get into your gapcloser's range is not that meaningful, because a max-range skillshot is very hard to hit. Maokai's W is targeted, so he can just press W and wait. | ||

Also Seuss brings up a good point- having a longer window of time is definitely a big deal, easier to read a juke attempt if you have 2 second window instead of a half second window. | ||
