Maokai General information
Maokai tips and tricks
Maokai’s Ultimate R is great in team fights. Once you engage with your Ultimate R, fall back and protect your carries.
Place down as many Saplings E as possible before your first camp spawns. Place them in a bush when possible.
Your goal in the early game is to gank as much as you can with your point and click CC W. Try and get your allies ahead from the get-go.
