You're joking, right?
Love Dramatic1 votesnooooooooooooooo 2 years of tree man is enough for meeeeee
SuperLuigiLXIV1 votesSeeing as he's meant to be a jungler and not a top laner, and only ended up in top lane because he is absolutely insane, polite pass.
SilentBomber1 votesAA fighters strangle more than tanks and they'll get worse after press the attack upcoming nerfs.
Whisper872 votesHas anyone tried Lethal Tempo on Jax? It's worked nicely for me. Also, Riven and guys like that can easily make electrocute work. Renekton probably hates new system, but I like the idea of either going the tank route with him in Grasp or going burst with Electrocute. I think it's healthy to get him into quick trades if he wants to go damage runes.

It is not about his damage but about the scale,as Champions like Jax scale late game.However,many games are fast paced and end quickly.Thus,the bruisers class that is extremely gold dependent has some issues.Others Classes get cheaper items and scale better than bruiser's class.

Superspick1 votesGonna say no to that.
woodvsmurph1 votes48% winrate is a ton better than plenty of other toplaners. He's super popular - which means more people with 0 clue how to play him are using him - compared to other LOWER winrate champs that are rarely being played (except largely by EXPERTS) and they STILL have low winrate. Those are the champs needing help; maokai is more than fine. When maokai loses, chances are it's because his team fell too far behind and deal 0 damage - meaning he can be as tanky as he wants and it makes no difference, since there is no damage to back up all his durability and cc. That's not a sign maokai is weak and needs buffs.
While I don't believe pro's know everything or know best all the time (I've innovated things before them sometimes or known better than them), they generally have a good clue of what is at least PASSABLE as a champ. With all the maokai being played - clearly he's not some weak champ that's a liability for his team. He is perfectly fine as-is.
