Literally make it so that if he enters combat with a monster, whether it be scuttle, dragon, Baron, or any other monster, then allow it so that his w can be casted freely. Basically, make it so that the w cooldown restriction disappears, and you'll make his jungling side viable again without it being oppressive like it was for laning phases.
+5% damage to Maokai while using Lumberjack skin. Done.
He is plenty viable as a jungler right now. Yes his shield will break if you just randomly throw it up without a plan but he has plenty of tools to successfully pop it. Starting it early is the most obvious; put your first point into W and activate it at 1:36 so that you can pop it before your first camp breaks it. Then put a point into your Q and activate your W while charging so that (with good timing) you can use the stun on your Q to buy time. You can also use your E to push/slow enough for you to kite back for a second or two allowing you to pop it. Honestly these are all things that you can do to get your W off regardless of whether your fighting Minions, Monsters or Champions... Also you can activate it while ulting to get it the delay out of the way as your coming in.
He doesn't need a buff. He has the tools he needs. Good luck to ya.
That might be too specific. His shield isn't even that bad when you decide how you want to use it.
Just lower the amount of time you have to wait to detonate the shield to 2 seconds. Also you can activate the shield then channel your Q.
