Cap How Many Saplings Maokai Can Have Active at Once
His ult has a good amount of stun and the damage scales with how far it goes, he has a targeted root, and easy to use knock back. However, saplings deal base damage as well as maximum percent of health damage, with bonuses if they are used in brush. That being said it would be better if he could only have 3 out or something at a time. Every time you walk into a bush against AP maokai or CDR, too many saplings can come out and take you out in a matter of seconds. For a tank who already has a ton of CC in his kit, why don't saplings have a limit? Caitlyn's traps have a max amount that she can have at one time, and all they do is snare for a second and they're useless if she's far away and can't use the double range and they have a high recharge rate at early ranks where as saplings just have an 11 second cooldown at rank one so you can throw two when the laner approaches and already chunk out their heath before a fight happens.
