I've been experimenting with Maokai support in higher Plat games and it works with relative success. He is definitely more efficient with bursty ADCs like Lucian, Varus, or Jinx so do keep that in mind. In any case, if your Bot lane and Jungler are organized then it is ridiculously easy to ensure a kill 95% of the time with Twisted Advance.

I do wish for some QoL updates to Mao as I think his kit is a bit outdated vis-a-vis the game changes. Sap Magic, for one, should deal something like % damage rather than heal since jungle survivability is now not as imperative as in the past. Sapling Toss is also a wonky skill as it provides limited utility other than vision pass mid game. Maybe Maokai could momentarily stun enemies hit by a sapling or something?
