Looking at Maokai.....I may get him and test him out. He seems like a fun champ to play with. Plus he's the type of champ I prefer.

Edit: Just looked at the Maokai video. This is what I see:

Arcane Smash: Maokai's CC skill (slow/knockback). This is best comboed with Twisted Advance

Twisted Advance: Maokai's initiation skill. Since he's tanky, this would - naturally - initiate teamfights by stopping targeted enemies for a short duration. Combined with Arcane Smash right after, it could pretty much shut down squishies and any other targets with enough teammate support.

Tree Sapling: A nice harass/short-duration warding skill. Great for general harassment or to ward critical areas for a short duration (25 sec duration) without needing to fill up an item slot. This can also be used to deal additional damage.

Venegful Malestrom (ultimate): Best used in teamfights to protect teammates (reduces damage) and returns damage back to the enemy once the skill is canceled.

For skillbuilds, Im going to guess he can be built this way (general tanking purposes):

Tree Sapling (1) --> Twisted Advance (1) ---> Arcane Smash (1) ---> Twisted Advance (3) ---> Venegful Malestrom (1) (Level 6) ----> Arcane Smash (2) ---> Twisted Advance (5) ---> Arcane Smash (3) ---> Venegful Malestrom (2) (Level 11) ---> Arcane Smash (5) ---> Tree Sapling (2) ---> Venegful Malestrom (3) (Level 16) --> Tree Sapling (5).

Of course, if you want to focus on harassment more (deal more damage), switch things around, and focus more on Tree Sapling .
