Seems to be flask or dring start into RoA then straight supporty tank items. I'm guessing 9/21/0 or 0/21/9 masteries, just not sure on runes.

I'm guessing 9/21/0 or 0/21/9 masteries, just not sure on runes. mpen,armor,(scaling)MR, and quints are your choice tbh. A lot of maokai's damage is in the base values. After RoA I like FH/SV/Banshee's/randuins/locket in some order and combination. Build one for the lane opponent, and then after that build whatever you need to survive. Haven't tried it, but I suppose you could go something like a liandries or void if you want more damage. | ||

I guess if you want to farm till like level 9-11 and then go group and try to gank nasus when he pushes 2nd top tower you can go even i guess | ||

Can't really burst nasus for much more than a half even if you're a level or two ahead with ult burst, and then everything is down and Q spam alone doesn't even out damage nasus sustain, let alone cowl or flask. You'd probably need morello's on top of roa so that you can quickly burst him below 50%, and then non-stop harass him to actually win with jungler help. Definitely not a lane you can win without help unless the nasus REALLY sucks(I won once, but the dude went dblade>sheen in this matchup and got spammed out of the lane...) | ||

Can't push hard enough or harass enough to beat him up early, so cho just sits in the wave and the e damage really adds up. Strong non spell based harass/push beats maokai pretty hard. This Cho shits on laning mao so hard and he outduels him every time and pushes faster | ||

There was only 1 gank from their J4 and I forced him to blow flash and my jungler came at 6 (he got the kill). I went ROA first but he was still bursting me hard. Go qe max q and just push the wave, last hitting as best you can. Ryze can't last hit under turret without spells very well, and every spell used on a creep is one that isn't hitting you. | ||
