You are mistaken anons. I have played AP Maokai many times before and you can kill another AP carry at full health in a single burst at lvl6 if you pack ignite. His daage falls of late game and thats why AP tank is better, but his damage early on is equivalent to any other carry, plus he has tons of CC. However, the fact that he is melee and his medium scalings make it difficult for him to fill the main carry role throughout the whole game. AP tank is the wa to go, and he is much more useful like that than as a jungler IMO. Actually, even roaming Maokai is better than jungle Mao.

Just because Snoopeh plays him jungle doesn't mean he is right. I was wrecking faces before he even realized that Maokai was in the game... "Meta" is bullshit. Learn to think by yourselves.
