So I love Maokai. He's a great solo laner, he's a great duo laner (all supporty like, free wards, slows, knockback, roots, damage shield OH MY!), he's a decent jungle (I wouldn't say great, he doesn't snowball so well) and he's a great tank. He's my #1 Flexible Champion in Draft Mode.

But, for all his roles he needs specific rune pages to be effective.

Jungle- Maokai Rune Page - Armor Marks, Evasion Seals, CDR Glyphs, AP Quints (I try to follow a guide on Solomid for that, it works great)

Quoted:
Does anyone else use a similar Rune Page setup for their Jungle? I'd love for this to not be specific to Maokai


Support - Support Rune Page - Magic Pen Marks, Mana/5 Seals, CDR Glyphs, AP Quints

Quoted:
My standard support page, this one is fine!


Solo Top - I haven't actually tried this yet, any suggestions?

Quoted:
I haven't played Maokai solo top yet, what other champs would use similar rune pages to him? I want to learn some which could use the same page


Tank - CDR Tank Rune Page ( Leona mainly) - Magic Pen Marks, Evasion Seals, CDR Glyphs, CDR/lvl Quints

Quoted:
This one isn't ideal. I use my Leona CDR focussed rune page for Maokai because it has the Evasion, Magic Pen and CDR (which I like on Maokai), but it's lacking the AP Quints which make Maokai so strong early game


So after all this waffling, here is the meat and potatoes...
  1. What champs use a similar Jungle page to Maokai?
  2. What champs use a similar Solo Top page to Maokai?
  3. What champs use a similar Tank page to Maokai?
  4. Are there any changes I can make to my Rune Pages which would make them more flexible for other champs?

Right now it feels like I either need 5 rune pages dedicated to my Maokai roles, or inefficient rune pages which could hit my Maokai effectiveness (particularly the Jungle and Tank) but would be effective for most cookie-cutter champs.

Can anyone help?

Solo top, you can use an AP runepage.

Mag pen marks, MP5/lv seals, AP/lv glyphs and Flat AP quints. Tank masteries and you can find all the explanations for these in my guide.
This works for mid and bot too.

Not quite sure about the jungle runes/masteries though other than super counter jungler Maokai.

Stonewall has a video about it though so, you can find it around there.

For jungle you should have Magpen Marks I think.
For support you need Armor marks, Armor seals, Mag Res Blues, and Gold p5 Quints.
Depends on your lane I guess.

For my jungle I use this guide: http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=6644, it's worked pretty well and Armor just seems much more viable for Maokai's tanking than Attack Speed (which stonewall uses). He gets VERY low on dual golems but it's all good after that
