@@둠심 It's normally been hard to get in contact with Korean players, I appreciate you so much for getting back to me quickly and answering all my questions!
Hi! Why you pref ad support item instead of the ap one? I guess it's because you get more benefit from aa on early after engage than the ap scaling, but not totally sure yet
Thank you for this! I've been wanting to pick up maokai for some time in case Leona got banned, but could never find a comprehensive guide that didn't turn him into a squishy E max ap. Will definitely check out doomsim stream, thanks for introducing him!
@@BCawk Thanks man, can't wait to try it. If it interests you, I've also heard of Xin Zhao support being played in high elo by several Chinese players hehe. Looking forward to your next video, keep up the good work!
You forgot to mention the R that hits instant (changing the direction), Maokai combos (in this case there are several, and it depends on the situation)
Wanted to learn how to play Maokia for my first tanky support and won my first 2 games with a S+ on my second game thank you so much. Great guide and I look forward to watching more
Heck yah! I'm glad you found some good success, sorry the items are a little dated but I'm glad the strategy still translated well. Welcome to the fam!
Great video, thx! I was looking for a Maokai Supp to look up to and learn from, now i got one! Doomsin ftw! I will be carrying his name through the woods of low elo ;)
Hell yeah! To be honest I copied the intro from this Spongebob Episode as a meme: ua-cam.com/video/uwlyItIfjrM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DailyCartoons I may have showed my age a bit too much with the reference though lol
Had the same idea… idk why he goes shouldergards instead. Dead mans plate’s damage scales of base ad so steel shouldergards should never be better than relic
Picked him up when I came back to the game last year. Been mostly using ap to good results but not always the best use I knew a lot of these tricks but even then the build I couldn’t have thought of myself Tried it in 3 games and won every one. Yeah this was great. I see Diamond at least next season if I imply this
Wait the flash W trick Dore not work with me xD I learned that the hard way because many times I tried to click W then flash to range maokai just doesn't W and stops moving completely as of I disconnected 😂
After watching this video i decided to 1 trick maokai with astounding results 60% win rate over all and so far a 100% win rate in ranked i would greatly recommend picking him up
Question, as I am a Maokai main, and I usually build e first for laneing phase, since it’s crazy poke. I don’t max it but I use that and biscuits. Does that work?
Usually w or q is first upgrade because level 2 engage is reallyyyyy strong. If they have a strong level 2 engage, then you need to be able to defend it, and the knock back (q) + point and click root (e) is very VERY good. And vice versa it is good engage level 2 especially if you have the level advantage. Not to mention your passive healing gives a substantial amount of heal which can be very crucial in gettting first blood. I'm gonna assume youre a lower elo (no offense) because 1) the e + q combo is just too good to not take initially and b) e is also used to ward bushes too and usually the enemy jungler won't be bot lane until youre level 3 anyways. The only time i really recommend going e first is if their support is like a passive enchanter and not an engager and if your adc doesnt want to fight and is a scaling adc or if you know that their jungle will probably be bot very early.
I was on this, botany fix, playing the likes of Zyra, Maokai and Ivern supports, and Maokai is by far my worst one. Nothing feels worse than rooting the enemy as your jg is coming and your Tristana adc leaps towards our tower instead of the enemy
He has the chance to now be your best my garden loving support! I know that feel though. Was happening a lot to me as amumu support, me going in and my ADC watching or running away
As a Support-Tank main-ish... I approve Maokai Support. ✨👍 Korean dude is a legit Top-Tier Elite Support-Tank main! Even though some of his abilities are laggyAF... he still make it work... and rekt people like a pro!
@@BCawk that hate mid/ top/ junglers in support role Q>Q They nerfed my Fiddle support almost 600k mastery before the nerf QQ. but im trying to use the vid you made :D
Thank you for explaining me like a great person BCawk
You are a great person! This is Doomsim guys! Go show him some love with a UA-cam subscription and a follow on his stream, he deserves it.
@@BCawk It's amazing that you talk to me first. You're a much greater person!

Preseason, Abyssal Mask is replaced by a true mythic, the Evenshroud.
It basically took the Mask immobilizing part, added mythical bonuses.
I love moaki, I love just spamming his E into all the bushes and them watching the enemy run

Yah, I feel like the E max AP build is a little meme these days. I hope you find success on this, Tooth! Thank you for checking out doomsim as well!

No clue how you dont have more subs, amazing content and very well made! Underrated asf, keep it going.
Thanks, Rinor! The UA-cam algorithm is is a cruel mistress - but I'm still thankful for the steady growth we've had so far!
I headed to his stream, and behold he's watching this video too
I've been climbing this season with Maokai support and it's SO good
I hope your channel takes off! Such great content!
You guys making kind comments definitely helps. Thanks, Zak!
You forgot to mention the R that hits instant (changing the direction), Maokai combos (in this case there are several, and it depends on the situation)
Very true, I always find one or two things I miss when making these thank you for pointing this out!
Super helpful, thanks so much, learnt a surprising amount!
Great material! Love it
Love your videos man , very well organized keep it up
Appreciate it, I'm on the grind my friend!
Nice video, everyhing was explained clearly and fast. Keep on the good work!
I tried to keep them as info packed and quick as possible! Thanks for the nice comment R0VEL!
Most excellent video!
Working so well with evenshroud , completely dominating mid game lane opp

Doomsim's awesome! Thanks for checking out the video!

i am always happy when i see your update notification
I am always happy when I see comments like this ❤ thanks, Moonlight!
Thank you, I will now go TREE ON MY ENEMYS.
I loved that intro got me so hyped up

Thank you for giving it a chance, I hope it helped!
can someone explain why maokai takes steel shoulder guards instead of relic? most of maokai's dmg comes from his ap abilities so i always take relic
Had the same idea… idk why he goes shouldergards instead. Dead mans plate’s damage scales of base ad so steel shouldergards should never be better than relic
We are watching Doomsim's live cast at same time, haha
Picked him up when I came back to the game last year. Been mostly using ap to good results but not always the best use

Tried it in 3 games and won every one. Yeah this was great. I see Diamond at least next season if I imply this
I have faith in Diamond this year (if you have the time to grind), I'm glad you're finding success, Dak!
Great video!
Thanks J K, and thank you for your help translating
bro your quality is waaaay above your views and subs.. big work!
I appreciate that! Tune in every Monday for new videos, I try to make them at least 1% better every week!
Should mention you rush swifties every game first item regardless of enemy comp
Into was godlike!
you can also double proq ult sort of by Q 'ing sideways whyle enemy is ulted
you're the goat for support champs
This is high praise! I gotta live up to it -- thank you for the kind words homie
Wait the flash W trick Dore not work with me xD
I learned that the hard way because many times I tried to click W then flash to range maokai just doesn't W and stops moving completely as of I disconnected 😂
Still waiting for the day I see an Ivern or Elise support video on this channel.
Two big ones I've been trying to find! I feel like Ivern has some good potential
when do u go ap Mal?
I sub instantly good content
Thanks, Jeorge! I always try to make these videos a little better every release
After watching this video i decided to 1 trick maokai with astounding results 60% win rate over all and so far a 100% win rate in ranked i would greatly recommend picking him up
Hope it's still going well Owen! Thanks for this great testimonial my dude
and hes even in free rotation, perfect!
Total coincidence but I'm glad it worked out!

Taliyah support? Btw I love your videos continue like that
Thanks Lamaa! I'm pretty sure I'll do a Taliyah video soon since her support winrate is pretty wacky right now
I'm a Maokai main now
I'm sure you could play him well even before this :P. Excited for you to break challenger soon!
Galio was a god supo until the lady nerf and the next patch they gonna revert the nerf, please bring a galio video
Lets go
Doom Sim!
He's literally the best!
