It's particularly of interest to note that the knockback is so minimal that it doesn't really take any great concentration to make it useful. Even if you knock them away from you while chasing, it still allows you to close the gap in that ~.5 seconds of knockup. I wouldn't be surprised if Maoki becomes a substitute for part of the Taric/Sion duo lane from hell.
