Yeah, my main reasoning behind triforce is she benefits from about everything it has. Sheen proc is better on others, but an early sheen can help with her early burst which to me feels like one of her strong suits. Chain abilities gives good burst and snare/stun, mana from sheen makes more opportunity for this, ap from sheen adds just a little damage to each ability, and then sheen proc adds some damage as well, should pretty much guarantee a kill if you're in a duo lane and land her e. Then for the rest of triforce, phage adds flat health (w adds enough resistances that flat health early on her seems pretty powerful) and zeal gives her a bit of movespeed to help with her being kited issues.
, ill be playing that.
Since when does a Cait last hit with q? This one got one level of traps first and didn't use q. Cait was the first champ I played and you don't really q unless they step into a trap since it costs so much mana. She has stupid range and was playing absurdly safe which seems to be something that I couldn't get around. She the traps in a line with a slight angle to them which effectively zoned me hard. After a few levels in e though I was able to E creeps close to her and have it pass on to her instead of another creep.
Yeah I'm sure I just need more practice, not that bad for a 2 day Malz.Like I said, I'm willing to take on that malz vs cait lane, I'm waitin to see one that can take me down, cause I know malz wins the lane mu.
@cash its a team game and its god awfully annoying at time in soloque but there are many clans/guilds out there that will accept just about any1 for preque 5s and trust me its a lot more enjoyable experience. Maybe play ur ds games and keep LoL idle until u find a team
don't give zolga any thoughts now
Chu's Maokai is still wtfbbqhax to me. His item build is a cluster**** of **** that shouldn't work at all, but somehow manages to work for him. That being said, I wouldn't recommend that if you're not Chu because it doesn't make any goddamn sense,

Instant cast AoE spells in particular. Shatter, Gragas barrels/spells, Karma's Wave, Annie's Tibbers and Incinerate, Lee's E, Kassadin's Force Pulse, etc.
there are videos/screencaps... it ain't pretty.
Thank you so much Mogwai. You have really been my go to guy for my questions reguarding champions I've been trying to learn.Chu's Maokai is still wtfbbqhax to me. His item build is a cluster**** of **** that shouldn't work at all, but somehow manages to work for him. That being said, I wouldn't recommend that if you're not Chu because it doesn't make any goddamn sense,
I've always been of the opinion that you should open as a caster with Maokai and transition quickly to tank, a la Bryden7's Malphite. Open with a 2-3 dring stack and then transition to Sunfire + MRes item of choice (Abyssal, Fon, and Banshee's are all good). I also feel that I chug mana like a boss with Mao and have been considering switching the dring stack to 1 dring + chalice of harmony OR philotone + chalice, but I don't play a ton of him anymore so I can't comment on whether that's actually a smart idea (not to mention I usually like to have only 1 big ticket mres item and feel short on mres a lot). From there I would grab either a deathcap (vs. low mres teams, where I would usually get abyssal for Mres as well) or a void staff (vs. tankier teams), but the truth of the matter is that if you just need to keep tanking, you can get away with just building more tanking items.
Now, if you really feel the need to do a lot of ****, I'd say the best way to itemize CDR on Mao would be to open Philo/Dring -> Chalice -> Spirit Visage -> Frozen Heart (akin to many WW builds ATM). Visage helps his passive and the whole package gives you 30% CDR, good tankiness and the mana you'll need to keep casting your **** as it comes off CD. The biggest issue here is that you have no offensive investment, which shouldn't be that big a deal because Mao's base damages are relatively high and has relatively average AP ratios. After finishing that core you could grab a RoA or Deathcap or Voidstaff or Abyssal or w/e for offensive output. You can also do this build with a RoA rush to start, but in that case ditch the chalice since you'll be getting such a big mana pool from your items.
Boots should usually be mercs, but sorc shoes can give you a lot of early lane dominance vs. squishier characters.
For runes, I used to run flat AP quints, MPen marks, Armor seals, and MRes glyphs. I don't like CDR runes except for a few on Vlad to make yourself hit 40%.
