I think Maokai should be tier 1 because of his ability to defend and hold a turret. Send him bot and he can single handedly prevent pushes and counter push pretty well solo, leaving his 4 teammates to all focus on the top half of the map. At worst, he needs 1 or 2 to assist him sometimes, depending on how hard the other team is coming at him.
