I agree, even if his ult has dmg reduction all the other supertanks still get mr per level so why shouldnt Mao? He should get the same amount of mr as all the other melee champs because in all honestly, if Mao falls behind it becomes ridiculosuly oppresive because you need to be tanky and you arent.. and you arent getting any passive tank stats that would be helpful so you just stay behind being blown up constantly whilst trying to be the front line.

I have a suspicion the actual reason maokai doesnt get mr per level is actually because of sapling toss. Having a ranged poke skill somehow nulifies his right as a melee champ to have mr
