playing with maokai anywhere is a chore.

idk he just feels so weak anywhere. top lane you can kinda harass. but to get that passive to proc you often get more damage than you get back because of all the unnecessary poke you get when you hit a minion. he just needs ap to do anything. hes one of the squishies tanks (his base MR is the lowest of any tank in the game). his ult is cool and all. but for its utility and uses you need for it. the mana cost for his whole kit is too much and his base damages on his abilities. and generally the cooldown of them is too high. and his passive is kind of weak compared to many other sustain for other champs. hes extremely immobile. can not take 99% of the champs in the game 1v1 even other tanks. i just think he needs some buffs hes awful. he should be a jungler as its the only place that makes a lot of sense for his passive. top its situational. in support forget it as you will get harassed by the adc way too much and its not worth it. make some of his abilities scale with bonus health or something like that. I mean he isn't by any means unplayable. but he just doesn't feel like hes doing anything special anywhere. hes the poor mans version of (insert champ) in jungle/top/mid/support.

hes a tank but also a mage. i hope hes included in the mage update . currently his main role which is top is like 49% win rate. jungle is just above 50. but as much as I played with him hes not a good jungler by any means. hes comparable to nasus in the jungle. which is subpar
