WHY IS JUNGLE MAOKAI SO GOOD?!

I mean, I LOVED seeing SoloMid crush with Maokai in the jungle every game, and the fact that it made the jungle Rammus look bad was so lulz.

But seriously, what makes him so amazing as a jungler, and more of a threat than a Rammus in the jungle?

Maokai is a much bigger threat than rammus as he can do more damage in lategame. Rammus goes straight into his tanky items but pretty much no roles outside of that.

Maokai also has a damage reducing aoe which also returns damage depending on how much he was hit. He also has an auto attk heal after 4 skills are used regardless who used them which can give him a long sustain. I play him quite a bit just not as a jungler. Though i can see how he can be. Rammus just cant compare to this.
