You may already know this, but Maokai Q can also knock enemy Champions in the opposite direction of the Q's indicator direction if you step in front of the enemy Champion. This is helpful because it allows you to keep your cursor pointed in the same direction you were walking towards and can be input faster (at risk of mis-stepping and knocking forward rather than backward). For e.g. at 2:34 you rooted Syndra then stepped forward and then pointed your Q backwards. If you input your Q in the direction of their tower with Syndra standing behind you, you would still have knocked her back into Jhin. It only saves a split second, but can make a difference when your root duration is short.
@MusicProducer808 Sorry about the confusion. I made a video to demonstrate.th-cam.com/video/vVYSQhWWotQ/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared The first two Q's are most common method (0:00 to 0:10), the next 4 Q's are showing the alternate knock back (0:13-0:19).
Mao / Thresh are my go to supports, Mao is just the best Meele Support right now, Thresh will never be bad cause of his kit and if I get pick / banned out then I still have my Rakan to fall back on. I stopped playing for 2 years and had alittle look at some of your guides, within a 2 weeks i have both my accs almost at plat :P
I main Mao support at the moment. There isnt really a core item since there are so many great hp items with fitting effects for Mao. You can simply adjust your build to the enemy's damage source.
I really hope they don't nerf maokai support. His WR was high leading up to 14.2, but I'm worried that people are going to raise a stink about him now to get nerfed 14.3. I'm hoping they just settle for nerfing sleigh or trailblazer if they feel like he is a problem.
Awesome, I've been enjoying you're videos recently - I'm trying to 'learn' how to play rather than just playing league and these vidoes are helpful :) Particularly with the new patch. I was finding my feet but with the update I feel like I know as much as john snow (not the news presenter). Would you mind me adding Rell onto your champ suggestion list please? I struggle with melee supports, particularly against pokier line ups. Rell looks like a fun champ with the new trailblazer item, combined with the e to speed you up onto people. Making you a budget kled ult.
Too nerfed Even in JNG or top he maxes q If you want to change the build and go liandries mandate or some shi, just know that you could be paying Teemo or a different poke champ!
I was playing teemo support trying to prove my fiends wrong that teemo support is goated (we won) and had to go up against a Maokai. I was in constant fear since they had a senna adc, when I was close enough to hit Maokai I was poked by Senna but could never reach her and my damage wasn’t enough to do anything yo Maokai

Can you explain this again, I do not understand and cannot find any videos on it, is it like threshs flay?

@@spektrNA Ty! I see it is because the knock back is actually a ring around Maokai, pretty cool
11:30
Maokai: Great job Jhin
Jhin: stfu
😂😂
I think Jhin thought it was sarcasm because he just died because he turned around instead of continuing to run.
Typical ADC
"This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Govos/Usan Zed"
kinda fresh with it
My beloved Ioki udyr support is the most broken support this season, you should def try him.
bro ww died to soraka redemption XD
would love to see some Morgana on here, I cant figure out what exactly she does in S14, or if she's just bad right now...
Played one game against maoki who coincidentally counters alot of my support pool and now hes got my 100% ban pick whenever i go support 😂😂
Wait untill Ioki Plays Bard. . .wait, givin away the op techs.
22:58 HAHAHAHA WW DIED TO REDEMPTION
Can you please make a Pantheon video? Been trying out some new builds like Muramana tank, lethality, and bruiser builds.
can you try and do a bard vid???
that cho gath skin is sick
I know you put Poppy at the bottom of the tier list, but I'd love to get a Poppy support video!
Hard to tell what runes you're running, I can see Aftershock, but that's about it.
Thanks for the guys, now I know what I'll spam 😅
BTW, waiting for the one shot Vex support
Have you done Alistar? Hes pretty solid this season.
Maokai can go almost all lane
Only adc is troll. Top is great, support is broken, jungle is strong and mid is viable with full ap
can u please play nautilus? and some items for him this season 14
Shen next !
Nice video! What champs counters Maokai? In order to make the best pick ❤
Can you please try camille support? It's pretty good with new items
Mao / Thresh are my go to supports, Mao is just the best Meele Support right now, Thresh will never be bad cause of his kit and if I get pick / banned out then I still have my Rakan to fall back on.
I stopped playing for 2 years and had alittle look at some of your guides, within a 2 weeks i have both my accs almost at plat :P
You singlehandedly carried this one. Good game
I still don't understand the itemization, could you expand on that? What are the core items, and what are the situationals??? Thank you in advance!!
I main Mao support at the moment. There isnt really a core item since there are so many great hp items with fitting effects for Mao. You can simply adjust your build to the enemy's damage source.
Build what counters your enemies. Look at their builds and react on fhe fly
The only problem is that you walk everywhere but your ADK has no vision and no assistance from you 😅
Seems like the enemy was barking up the wrong tree...
heheh
I love hearing you "boom"
I really hope they don't nerf maokai support. His WR was high leading up to 14.2, but I'm worried that people are going to raise a stink about him now to get nerfed 14.3. I'm hoping they just settle for nerfing sleigh or trailblazer if they feel like he is a problem.

Nice bro 🔥
Zac support! >:D

rell is good in high elo (grandmaster and up) but bad in low elo
Omg that redemption from raka. #goals
what about the old aftershock+liandry+focus E on maokai?
Too nerfed
Even in JNG or top he maxes q
If you want to change the build and go liandries mandate or some shi, just know that you could be paying Teemo or a different poke champ!
Awesome video! Do Janna next if you can. I'm considering maining Janna/Maokai for this season. I believe Teemo support is starting to drop off.
Tiene un tremendo potencial para first kill al lvl 2 gracias a su combo Insect W+Q, tristemente comenzaste con la E.

Actually its pretty cheesy the q ist so good aigainst sum
You took biscuits over hexflash?
how old are you ioki?
Try to make yuumi viable in any way possible 😅. Would love to see that
As if she isn't viable hahaha
Hard disagree about grubs. They’re giga useless unless you have six. And even then they’re not that great unless you’re far ahead.
Lissandra aftershock support man!
i need malphite support
What elo is this in?
play wukong supp with bloodsong
Braum 👌
Spoiler guard 🛡️🛡️
Shen please

u said "great job Jhin" when he was dead so maybe he took it the wrong way and thought is was a bm comment towards him
Early gang

Low elo not helpful
