He'll most likely be nerfed before he hits the 50% ban rate. He's getting more and more prevalent. It usually takes 3-4 months for people to start complaining really loudly, and the same amount of time for Riot to react.

More often than not Riot then decides to apply small nerf over small nerf, 'til they reach a point at which a serious nerf seems like the only option. Which will most likely happen to Maokai because he synergizes Waayyyyy too well with the current meta (being both tanky and anti-tank)

Then he'll be nearly useless. So here's my advices for lower ELOs : Spam Maokai while you can, this f*cker can easily carry you to plat.
