the tree has fallen. need some context on maokai nerfs

Why removing the e dmg on impact and increase q mana cost and no buffs to other skills. How can I cs safely now I get harassed in 1v1 while I try to cs the caster minions like riven or fiora I lose huge chunk of my hp while trying to cs early forcing me to recall early while these champions still untouched once they got on you, you are dead or forced to flash. Also our we forced to rush frozen heart to get mana sustain . There is huge difference in lcs where they respect maokai in early game while here in solo queue they jump on to force to get out of the lane it's like whether you feed them or become useless due to low kill potential and cs . Please I need some context and thank you.
