New Midseason 7 maokai?!

Hey fellow summoners, I am pretty disappointed in the new maokai changes, while I only played 2 games on him ( i will try more things) I feel like his tanky abilities is not there. From what ive seen people are now maxing saplings, and while they do good dmg (while placed in a bush) i feel that is too situational and their range at detecting enemies is easily avoidable. On top of that his ultimate is way too slow to really mean anything especially since the duration of the root is longer at greater distances but its close to impossible to land. Ive tried jungling using it through walls but quite honestly you can just out run it on almost any champ. What do you guys think, I feel he is probably better as ap now rather than tank but idk, what builds have you guys tried. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

too early to tell

his tanking comes from the healing on his passive, they balanced it around its best case scenario which would be an early Spirit Visage, the amount you heal is insane.

As for his kit it doesn't really matter what you max first and you should only pick the best based on each match up

His saplings though are pretty damn strong when placed well but it's far more important to play around them like a Shaco does with his boxes
