I’ve only played 5 games or so, but I don’t think AP is worth it. The damage increase isn’t significant enough to justify being so squishy

I build him with rod of ages and crown and it makes me "tanky" with the amount of healing I'm doing with crowns ability to eat a sudden skill shot but truthfully a tankier build is probably the way to go.

I feel like his scalings are all too weak: basic abilities ≤50%, ult 65%. In comparison, Nautilus has 90% on Q, 40% per AA on W, 50-75% on E (if you hit multiple waves on the same enemy), and 80% on ult. Amumu has a similar story. And if these champions with a similar functionality to maokai are usually played as tanks (*usually* not always), then I think maokai definitely should build tank

I'm not gonna say much but..Toplane Maokai with grasp is pretty strong, it's a really good counter for ranged to planes, you can force free trades with passive and slowly chip their HP so your Q does more damage

I playtested maokai jg clears in practice tool my first conclusions of this champion is that he needs shimmering spark to get a 2 min ult gank otherwise you're looking at 2:15 and are very susceptible to jungle invades ESPECIALLY BLUE BUFF losing blue sets you back to a 3 minute ult which is massive considering how that impacts how many high impact ganks you can make especially when you need to have it for dragon/herald contests it's not as bad as hecarim fiddle sticks or eve ult but it is longer than nautilus ult but shorter than ammumu and rammus ult which seems a bit wrong now that I actually checked it he's garenteed 2 opportunities to ult before first obj spawn

Everyone keeps building full ap I think it's so troll.. boots of mana into a tank build is insane... crown 3rd and Liandrys 4th are more than enough damage... with heartsteal, then dawnshroud, and twinguard 5th Electrocute - collussus, second wing, perseverance, transcendence.. ggs
@Exacerberus3 ай бұрын
Very good and in-depth guide as always, keep it up! I think tank Maokai is way more reliable than AP. Grasp for top, Glacial Augment for support and imho even for jungler Glacial > Aftershock; Hexflash is super good for support and jungler.

What are your thoughts about Spirit Visage? On paper, it seems like it should be especially good for healing tanky champs like Swain and Maokai; however, i feel like it doesn't really fit into a build very well, with heartsteel, dawnshroud, abyssal mask/force of nature, thornmail, mantle, and twinguard all taking precedence
@RiftGuidesWildRift3 ай бұрын
If enemy team has a lot of magic dmg Abyssal just does so much more :/ It fits - but you need space for it in your build and often other items will just perform better
