Seriously though, his jungle does need improvements. All the nerfs to his top lane made his jungling harder each time with no compensation. If you could just increase his Twisted Advanced range when targetting neutral monsters and increase his passive heal when proc'ing on a neutral monster, it would undo the damage that's been done to jungle Maokai. Let him roam the forest again.

Isn't strong enough? How effin strong do you want him to be? Strong enough to 1v5 people at level 1?

He seems fine atm, went like 23/1/12 then 16/8/20 recently. Only issue, is kalista kitting me, but she's meant to do that :P His clears are fine, his ganks are piss easy to pull off and his ult is the biggest freebie of all time.

I agree personally. he just gets dominated by pretty much every single top lane match up. hes too weak in a 1v1 lane

We're on it. But then again, he might be too strong.

Would you take a suggestion? Find the root of the problem so you can branch out into different solutions. Maokai mains are barking mad right now, and I think their anger is stemming from his weaknesses.

Just teak his numbers a little bit and he'll be pine. Not too much though. Balancing properly is a beech. Come up with a plan an just stick to it.

There's a special place in hell for people like you. They always need someone to torture the sinners after all.

Might? Hes p/b status in LCK. You gave him massive buffs AFTER he was already a regular pick in competitive play. But i guess its ok since silver players feeling he isnt strong enough, right?

I love how you have time to comment on these posts while tens of posts on mac client FPS dropping is completely ignored. Do you not care about these people desperately asking for updates on the issue? The game has been UNPLAYABLE for over 10 days now.

That's Katey&Friends's job, and they've commented on those already since the beginning.

Have you ever thought of increasing the amount of damage blocked by his ult for him, keep the same for his allies, but give it a longer cooldown? That way he can soak up more damage for himself, to help keep his team mates alive by the same amount of damage reduction. late game his ult is almost always up. such a short cooldown

Seconded, his recent buffs have put him into a really good state. I'm having lots of fun playing Meowkai top, mid, and support.

He's just so effective no matter what you do :3

Also kawaii cat pajama skin is a must in every game.

if Malphite can be allowed to be too strong, maybe we could risk maokai a bit

Tanks are in a bad spot in general expect the 2 tanks that counter AD champions I wonder why Malphite Rammus

I've been playing him more again since the buffs. His jungle seems questionable still, but I'm trying out different builds there. Top lane maokai feels a lot better having scaling MR finally. Not sure what they should buff if anything yet.
