What if instead of total nerfs you just nerfed the brush bonus damage to +50-60%? That way his non-brush siege-saps are not total garbage and his proxy brush-saps are not total cheese.
Idk seems a bit drastic considering the small nerf they already got on top of whats coming.
Nymzo2 votesIt's 
all over again LOL, they really never learn.
Redesignated2 votesMaokai is nowhere near as bad as post-update Malzahar was.
Nymzo3 votesI meant putting all the champion's dmgs into one spell, and then nerfing the said champion's spell because it's too strong for the support role.
It's also very strange how the said spell for both champions is a pet summon. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me.
Redesignated2 votesAh, OK, I get what you mean now. Pets are a weird aspect of the game that's never really been done all that well, regardless of which pet or pseudo-pet it is.
At least to me, Maokai seems to be a lot more reasonable a champion after the current power shifts. His win rate in support has dropped a bit, but unfortunately his win rates in jungle and top are both fluctuating pretty hard, according to this. I'd like it if he was viable in all three, but it looks like Riot's just tunnel-visioning on nerfing him unilaterally despite him only performing well in one position right now. :/
OtterlyLost2 votesHooray! Instead of leaving a champ that was perfectly fine alone, they reworked him and are now going to steadily Nerf him more and more and more until he's completely inviable anywhere. Thanks riot, for ruining my favorite tank. :/
Chembaron Yamada1 votesMaokai was not perfectly fine, though. If a tank is crowding out every other tank in the game, simply because he can do all the stuff all the other tanks do just fine, then something is wrong.

WHAT IN THE HOLY FUCK?
LeBlanc Jameś1 votesI didn't think they were that OP. you could bait them out and outrun them super easy. Also, when he went support, a vamp would negate all the damage they did if you did get hit by one.
