New Maokai Build

According to the Wiki, his sapplings now work as follows:

MAGIC DAMAGE: 45 / 70 / 95 / 120 / 145 (+ 6 / 6.5 / 7 / 7.5 / 8% (+ 2% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health)

Saplings placed in brush gain increased duration and deals double damage over 2 seconds to all enemies hit, capped at 600 against non-champions.

SAPLING DURATION: 30 / 40 / 50 / 60 / 70

TOTAL MAGIC DAMAGE: 90 / 140 / 190 / 240 / 290 (+ 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16% (+ 4% per 100 AP) of target's maximum health)

If this is true, why aren't we building him with Health/AP items? (This is for support.)

well roa takes to long to stack as a support

dont need ryalis cuz he already has slows

He's not getting it for slows. Since his E now scales off of AP and Health, building dual-enhancing items would seem to max his power.

the E dont scale on his health it scales on the targets health

Ah, I'm readying that incorrectly. It's THIER health. Well that's terrible.

So his Passive builds on Mao's health, and his E damages on theirs? What a crap design.

and yet they are nerfing his E on the PBE right now... so he will have less damage

because its fucking 1 shots people if you get just a little bit of AP and 2 saplings in a bush

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMay 12, 20171 votes

and 2ndly the AP scaling on it is shit

RewtMay 12, 20171 votes

4% of your Max HP per 100AP is a shit scaling TIL

oSEXYPLATYPUSoMay 12, 20171 votes

RewtMay 13, 20171 votes

I have still to unlock him, but conceptually he sounds like he makes a better support.

He doesn't have any defensive steroids from the sound of it, except for the passive sustain. But his twisted Advance is useful for picks, his E for poke, and his ult as the potential to hit more targets in the duo lane.

And given that Target HP damage is designed, he doesn't rely on scaling to do damage.

Support play style with ap is getting nerfed on the pbe, and expect further nerfs if he keeps being effective at it. The effect it has on late game is unhealthy and even early game it plays out really binary.
