In an effort to enhance the performance of tanks in League of Legends, Riot Games has significantly buffed Maokai. These buffs are meant to enhance his potential as a jungler and improve his performance in the meta.The buffs are currently available in the PBE (Public Beta Environment) version of the game.
However, they will be released alongside patch 12.23, which is going to come out on December 7, 2022.It goes without saying that League of Legends fans are extremely pleased with these changes.
Jungle Maokai is something they have been requesting for a long time, and these changes will deliver exactly that.Before proceeding any further, it is important to mention the changes to Maokai in League of Legends PBE.The changes are as follows:There are two key factors that players need to take note of.
The first one is the heal ratio from the passive. This change will improve Maokai's durability and his presence in fights. The best part about the change is that the buff isn't particularly game-breaking.
In fact, this heal ratio was actually reduced in patch 12.20 to its current value of 4%-10%. That change greatly hurt his performance, and fans asked the developers to reconsider the decision.
