How to Play Maokai in ARAM Mayhem

Play at the front: open fights with Nature's Grasp (R) down the lane, then Twisted Advance (W) onto a carry, since you are untargetable during the dash. Sap Magic heals you on attacks and recharges faster when you cast or are hit by spells, so stay in the middle of fights. Heartsteel and Spirit Visage make you harder to kill, and Courage of the Colossus shields you when you land your roots.
