Playing as an against Maokai. Even without AP built, his Sapling does alot.
 * Tracking range on it is rather large. I'd do a low estimate of 550 and a high estimate of 650.
 * Sapling's speed makes it impossible to dodge unless you have 3+ Speed boots or Ghost (or some other escape ability). I've been outrun by a sapling when I had Merc Treads.
 * Sapling, because of its damage, range, and speed, can be a nightmare for champions forced back to their tower due to the fact that this can be thrown onto the tower, and any champion that goes near it will trigger it to chase them, forcing them to stay even further away.
