These replies are hilarious.

1)http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Maokai_the_Twisted_Treant?page=14#article-comments -- I've been playing jungle Maokai since May of LAST YEAR. I was the one who brought the idea to this wiki in the first place, and I happen to be rather proud of that.

2)part of the reason Maokai is good in the new jungle is simply because he doesn't need much at all in terms of items. With a HoG and a Philo he's pretty much set; the only thing that comes close to being an issue is MANA, an issue that's directly and completely solved by either chalice->AUG or Catalyst->RoA.

3)I've tried many times to remove RoA from my build and long ago came to the conclusion that it's too good to pass up (at least for my playstyle). I'd probably build it even without the AP since he makes such good use of the passive, the mana, and the health, but the AP is what brings his spells to the point where their damage is actually significant in my experience. I don't play AP Maokai and I never seriously have, and I haven't laned with him for a very very long time.

I'd thank you to take my question seriously.
