mow is good i like it but veil will give u 300 block any dmg while maw is 400 magic only. and that passive bloks any cast that in late game will tend to deal more than 400dmg on its own and we arnt even talking about the stunsnare or debuff that comes with it. so it gives u more shield then when u tend to think about it. it does not give dmg that is a bit of a downer. But that passive would block a stun that could have killed your combo or aa. maw vs hydra hmmm

hydra aoe dmg and heal dubbles the speed of farm at least. And helps you drain hp from more than 1 taget.

maw magic resist and magic shield prevent allot of magic dmg.

1v1 maw would be better but the point behind hydra for me is a insane jug speed. more gold faster = more time 2 gank= enemy team has much weaker laning. It also allows you 2 jump onto a enemy champ surrounded by his creeps and using the aoe to heal u and prevent creep dmg that would have killed you. Plus all that splash dmg in teamfight helps your carry buy making u the bigger problem for the team iceborn can give almost the same dmg with more cc but the ad +life steal and regen vs ap, armore and cd makes hydra a better item for my taste i use frozen hammer if i wanted aoe slow over dmg I would takecristal septer it has more slow more ap and a nice chunk of hp

If the ap realy is carring super hard then yes i would consider selling it late game to get maw instead.
