Idea's For Maokai Rework.

I think the passive should be changed to :Anytime he takes damage he charges up his passive To a cap and then at the cap a minion willl pop out of his bark skin thing that is about as good or less good as a ghoul from Yorick. Then his Q should be like his passive now. It could be a skillshot that heals and slows anybody hit. Then i think you could just leave the W. Now his E should be he throws a seed that if not killed within 5 seconds, explodes dealing damage and summons maybe like 3 minions. Now his ultimate should be like a Jarvan ult without the damage that builds terrain that nobody can walk out of including Moakai and allies. You can choose to reactivate it, and if you do it will turn the trees into minions. I think he would be a heavy disabling tank that can summon minions who's main purpose is just to body block but still do a little bit of damage. Ideas by deadlybearfart and Jshade13.

But... why?

Because me and my friend think he's just kind of under powered right now and other champions can do the same thing but a lot better. He needs something cool and different to attract the attention of players. and a new mechanics to be had in the game.

Maokai? Underpowered? ...are we playing the same game?

I'm saying this because i think Maokai needs something different, he can do all the same things other tanks can do but nothing really sets him apart if you know what I mean.

I guess he doesn't make particularly flashy plays or require as much skill as other champions to be played optimally but I think having an AoE %damage reduction ult really sets him apart from other tanks. Additionally he can scout the fog of war with ease and is one of the few champions that has a targeted hard cc ability. I agree with you that he doesn't have very interesting mechanics but I think he offers a lot to a team that most other tanks don't, which is why he has been such a staple pick in the top lane for the past handful of months.

Of course he has the ability to do all that but i just think he needs something new. Sure he can add a lot of cc to a team but he is just kind of mundane. This was just an idea that me and a friend had for a possible way to spice him up in a sense.

That's fair. I agree his kit is rather stale.
