How it works
You play Support who goes tanky.
How to play
Identify your role within the team (engage, peel, frontline)
If your team needs engage, go Trailblazer and Shurelya's Battlesong
If your team needs peel, go Knight's Vow and Locket of the Iron Solari.
Knight's Vow is a surprisingly good item. Buy it and use it if you have carry or bruiser/fighter who is doing well.
You need to adapt your items to the game. Enemy team heavy on AP? Buy MR. They heavy on AD? Buy Armor. You need some damage? Well buy that.
Be careful to not waste Aftershock. Try timing it and keeping it for going in.
Tips and Tricks
General
You can use E for brush control.
Riot
Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.
