So far I'm 3-1 with Mao Support. After 3 normals I felt good enough to use it to finish the last game in my series and won!

I tweaked my setup after each game and I find this to work best. Start: 3X You flat out do not need health pots! Passive + OP First Back: 3x 2x Core/Order: >> >> Finish off your build with situational items.

Masteries:21-5-4 Runes:M-AP S-Flat Armor G-6XMana Regen, 3X Scaling MR Q-AP or MS

-Throw Saplings behind Enemies during laning phase. Try to do this when they leave a gap between them and the wave, they will likely not be able to creep block.

-Don't be afraid to spam Saplings. Remember you do not need health pots. Mana pots will keep you nicely topped off till you finish Morello.

You flat out do not need health pots! Passive + OP

Only if your opponents are bad

Core/Order:

You should grab mikaels instead. It has a useful active and the regen passive scales with roa

-I'm going to stand by my health pot statement. -Mikaels is fine. I'll probably try that out. I'd take Morello vs a sustain lane though.

Should grab something that saves you from getting popped.

The times I've Maokai supported, I've maxed saplings last and went for tanky builds instead, relying on my utility to help my team, not my damage.

It's a different playstyle. I have had a lot more bad experiences with low damage supports in solo queue. I was working on warmogs as my 3rd completed item in the ranked game I played so I'm not against being beefy. In the first 10min of the game my Cait over extended 3 times in front of creeps and got max range blitz pulled. I started to roam and make plays once I realized she was hopeless. The damage deffenetly came in handy and I had enough health to aid with my ult.
