Maokai jungle is SO SLOW AND WEAK

JESUS, how do Maokai mains jungle him or even play him at all?

He's mana hungry AF His tankiness isn't all that great compared to others and his damage is beyond the weakest thing I have ever experienced.

After the mage/assassin update, there better be a damn Tank update too

Maokai jungle has amazing sustain, and godlike ganks

When's the last time you actually played Maokai jungle mate? His sustain is mediocre, he is extremely mana hungry, and his gank power got crippled when they reworked him, not to mention the plethora of damage nerfs he's received since the rework.

Believe me, I mained jungle Maokai for over a year and he is a ghost of his season 4 self. He used to be a ganking powerhouse that made picks like Jarvan and Lee Sin (who are known for their ganks) look lame, and his sustain actually used to be enough to get through a clear.

They neutered his jungle damage, ganking power, and sustain in exchange for minimal mana fixes (he's still extremely mana hungry).

He is extremely mana hungry and when a mid laner says " can I blue? " I cringe.

After the mage update

lol wtf? They literally did nothing but lower the damage numbers, make the mana system super generic, and increase the price for every mage item. if you can call that an update then why are you even here?

That is what an update is making changes to things that needed to be changed.[zombie-brand-facepalm]

Preach, can riot nerf item 3139 by not giving it a shield or something? theres no ap version and item 3157 doesnt count since you cant move with a shield. So many AP ults are useless once this item is bought

It's all about the way you play him and time his abilities. I've clobbered a Yas when i ganked his lane as Mao

Yeah if Maokai dies early (1:00-13:00) you are basically screwed.

Use fewer abilities in jg get catalyst for other mana problems. I think you will enjoy Mahkuhkki more once you reach lvl 30. He is quite tanky and has a point click stun (actually a root) and his e can do lots dmg and applies cc.

i agree. hes horrible. and in many sites hes supposedly a top tier jungle. which is awful. hes really bad. he takes too much damage. and for what am concerned his high cooldowns and mana cost doesn't make any use of his passive that much.
