I hear a lot of talk defending Maokai yet when it comes to the real action, in the dozens of games I've played with and against him, he sure hasn't once lived up to the hype.

I can't speak post-patch but before, the best he could do was minor harassment with his saplings and pop his ult and hope that the enemy team was stupid enough to stay in the aoe (which rarely happened considering even the worst players aren't usually THAT idiotic). His ult's good for pushing towers but that was about it.

To put it bluntly, I never fear a Maokai when I see one. Maybe this patch will change that. It seems like he got quite the buff.
