Hey Riot, any chance of a range indicator for Maokai's passive? * /r/leagueoflegends

It'd be handy to know the exact range in which Maokai's passive effect triggers. I'm sure I could look up the range online, but for gameplay clarity I think showing that in game when you hover over the passive would be a nice tweak. I don't think this would inherently add power in a relevant manner and I don't feel it would buff his top laning (the problem area it seems). Could any Rioter let me know if this could be done? Thanks!

For reference: Each time a spell is cast near Maokai he draws energy from it, gaining a charge of Sap Magic Magical Sap. When Maokai has 5 charges his next basic attack heals him for 5 / 6 / 7% of his maximum health.

I like this. No reason it shouldn't be added.

Would make sense. Riot says they are all about clarity and that is what this would do.

The problem is that's a lot of visual noise for an effect which operates entirely in the background. Not like you can play around taking advantage of it at the edge of its range: It's there to motivate you to whack people during spell-fights.

But almost all other similar passives have it. And it would only show up if you had the option to see range indicators and only when you're hovering over the passive, so I don't think it would be disruptive at all.
