Great work!

Maokai has some decent AP ratios, nicee!
Though I have a feeling they might nerf the sapling...

[Lampshadez]

what is galio's ratios =/ i was told LOL NAB TANKBUILD IS CRAP FOR HIM so unless he can match/outdo mage tank galio he needs to stfu as i did good up until he fed and lost the match

[OddSquad]

One thing I noticed when I got this is with his ult. If you absorb 150 Damage then it is at max extra damage. In simplest terms that means after 5 auto attacks at 150 AD his ult will be at max damage. So you will never have to worry about charging it up to full in a team fight.

Unfortunately, I think Maokai will be forced into the tank role when I think he would make a much better Off-Tank/Support Character. Something along the Gragas tank build: Glacial Shroud, Abyssal Scepter, Zhoyan's Hourglass, Void Staff, Aegis and boots.

the bonus dmg of his ult is rly not much
galio has more, and u can´t escape him (cept u r irelia or some other kind of cc-reduc)
make it percental as well, i beg u riot...

I dont think they would/should because they need to be hit by the toss and the chase explosion for it to do significant damage to a champ, the only reason i can possibly see is the god-like creep farming

[Sareth]

His ulti is to protect allies not to deal dmg. 20% of dmg reduction is a great shield I think AND you can deal dmg to finish off some squishies. Btw, 500 dmg + 0,5 AP ratio with so huge AOE is not so bad

Instabuy for me anyway from day when I saw concept art 1st time

His sapling is where it needs to be for him to be able to effectively farm, it's aoe is larger enough for 3-4 creeps, small enough that he can't obliterate the entire wave, as others pointed out, to get the max damage you have to hit and explode on someone, explode being the more important of the two. Also it seems to have the not mentioned aoe effect zone that Riot has quietly put on a few aoe moves for champs. Like pantheons Ult dropping the aoe right on top of the person/mob you're trying to hit does more damage than if they're hit by the edge of the blast radius. It's not usually a large damage discrepancy but you can usually notice at earlier ranks or later in the match when creep health is higher and the one hit dead on dies, but 1-2 near by still have varying amounts of hp left.

I was impressed to see the ratio on his teleport, the whole look seems as though he'll make a good beefy support with some AP on the side. Abyssal scepter, the hourglass and Rod of Ages seem like good picks along with CDR Items like lucid boots and Frozen heart. Maybe even a Rylai's for good ol' slow on slow action.

Ok I updated it so it has all the data now. Hopefully, this helps Maokai's Builder page come up a bit sooner than normal.

Yeahh they makes sense. LOL

No pun intended hehe.

Yeah, AOE damage reduction? Awesome! and I am worried about inbound nerfs to the Sapling toss, since its like an even better version of Zilian bombs
