I have no idea why maokai is never seen mid

I play him a lot, and I only play him mid

He is a massive lane bully, and after first back he will never have to lane(even before 1st back u have to leave only because of mana)

He has great aoe damage, great cc, and great survivability

START: 2 faerie charms, pots(mix of red and blu depending on match up)

CORE: Chalice of harmony( this completely end your mana problems as u will always have mana for a sapling)

Rod of the ages(the hp is gr8, the ap is gr8, in short everything is great)

Sorc shoes

Haunting guise

( the mpen with his massive bases makes him a mid game juggernaut)

a lvl 3 e clears all the mage creeps

lvl2 e + q clears the mage minions

focus on farming, but getting him with e if he is vulnerable

abuse your passive u will always be topped up on hp

LATE: liandries torment( he has a lot of built in slows and suppresses and can make use of the passive really well

abyssal sceptre

rylais crystal sceptre

(in no specific order)

situational items as always

people really underestimate the burst maokai can put out early, mid and late game

one e w q combo decimates squishies ( and clears the minion wave at the same time :) )

His late game tankiness is godlike with his ult and his passive

Every game I have highest damage done to champions AND highest damage taken with this build

NEW META(prediction): maokai JUNGLE????? TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!@#$@!!@@@!
