Never noticed the blog section on the Wikia before :O

I used to play 24/7 maokai, until I realized I couldn't really do anything else. The main thing you need to keep in mind is that when you play DPS, getting as many hits as you can off is the important thing. It's fairly sad, but if you can grasp being afraid of melee fighters, and unloading on the most vulnerable targets, you'll eventually understand carry. Course, because I still have a tank heart, my biggest issue with carrying is that it's really a misnomer. A carry literally can't do anything without a solid tank to do the dirty work for them. The carry is extremely reliant on the team, and must depend on the tank, fighters, support, mage, etc to do their jobs properly in order to do your properly.
