Tips for Playing as Heimerdinger with Maokai
Spreading out Hextech Micro-Rockets leads to more reliable damage and more efficiency against multiple targets, but focusing it creates the biggest impact.
The success of Electron Storm Grenade is very important to Heimerdinger's survival. The slow and stun both are capable of keeping enemies in place long enough to punish them, but it is also the first line of defense against a surprise attack.
Turret placement can be a deciding factor in a battle. Against most enemies turrets are best when they can support each other, but if the enemy has a lot of area of effect damage your turrets can be destroyed quickly. Placing turrets in brush can lead to a surprise attack in your favor.
Advice to Understand How Maokai Will Play
Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.
Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
