I liked this build only I typically prefer to get sapling toss maxed out first for harass then I focus on Rooting.

I agree that going to level 3 sapling toss makes it easier to farm, but considering that Twisted Advance should be your priority - getting 1 point Smash and 2 in Sapling allows you to max Twisted faster, and do more effective damage in a gank/save situation by stacking your abilities. Also the faster you max Twisted, the longer the person is rooted and the easier to escape or lockdown a Champion.

at level 3 sappling toss you can 1 hit caster minions, greatly increasing your ability to farm with maokai which i find to be much more beneficial than increasing the duration of your snare that early in your skill sequence. getting that sappling toss to where you can actually farm minions is key in my opinions, because last hitting minions otherwise can become too difficult.

Alfamer - I can tell from the 3 guides you created that you only look at the quick summary at the very top of guides. So, yes.. to you it looks like I just state "buy boots and a rod and you're done".

If you take the time to actually read through the guide, you'll see I go into a bit more specifics about what items to focus on getting. So please take into account the entirity of the guide, and not the two second glance you took at the top of the page.

Thx,
