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 Quinn

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Dodge her Blinding Assault

    Dodge Blinding Assault (Q): it marks you with Harrier, which empowers her next auto on you, and reduces your vision.

  2. Engage after her Vault

    If you can engage, wait until she has used Vault (E): it's her only spell to push you away, on a 12 to 8 second cooldown.

  3. Hit her during her flight

    If Quinn passes within your range during Behind Enemy Lines (R), hit her: one hit makes her lose her speed bonus for a moment.

  4. Ping when she leaves lane

    Ping your team as soon as she leaves lane: after a 2-second channel, Behind Enemy Lines (R) gives her a large speed boost.
