Playing as Maokai

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Cast spells to recharge Sap Magic

    In lane, use your spells: each spell you cast or get hit by lowers the cooldown of Sap Magic (passive), and your next auto heals you.

  2. Saplings in the brush

    Throw Sapling Toss (E) into brush: there, the sapling lasts longer, explodes wider and slows more.

  3. Dive in with Twisted Advance

    Dash to your target with Twisted Advance (W): you're untargetable during the dash, and they're rooted when you arrive.

  4. Cast your wall from long range

    Cast Nature's Grasp (R) from far away to engage or block a path: the wall moves slowly, and the root lasts longer after a long run.

Playing against Fiddlesticks

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Stay out of his fear range

    Stay out of range of Terrify (Q), a targeted spell that reaches 575: if your range is longer, hit him from there without risking the fear.

  2. Cut his harvest short

    If you have CC, interrupt Bountiful Harvest (W): he heals during the channel, and if he finishes it, the remaining cooldown drops by 60%.

  3. Spread out from your allies

    Spread out from your allies when he arrives: Crowstorm (R) hits every enemy around him, and Bountiful Harvest (W) drains them all.

  4. Ward around objectives

    Ward the brushes and flanks around objectives: spotted in time, he loses the surprise of Crowstorm (R) and the passive fear of Terrify (Q).
