"Highest natural AD at level 18."

Not quite. Highest natural AD at level 1. At level 18 it's a tie between and  for the highest, although Mao's still pretty high.

So yeah, ADC Maokai is really a joke/gimmick based off that and the fact that between W, Q and high early base AD you can actually cheese early kills surprisingly well. You can do it - if you get fed off cheesing early kills then you can get away with a surprising amount until the enemy team catches up - but it's not good.
