Maokai was nerfed for the sake of LCS...
Meanwhile...

EDIT: OK, people don't understand that this list is not champions that are problems in the LCS. These are champions that have yet to be nerfed because they are unhealthy, cancerous opponents to deal with in normal games. And not to many normal players know how to deal with them. I'm saying these champions are problems IN GENERAL.

chaining cc and killing targets all the time is easy. on the twisted treeline hes even stronger because of his easy cc and vision control. plus most of the champs you listed barely have ever seen lcs play besides zed and now more recently graves. CC wins competitive games and those champs win solo que games where no one knows how to play as a team. so no maokai doesnt need to be buffed and besides xin and udyr most of the champs there are easy kills if you know what youre doing.
