Tips Against Maokai as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
NotAragami says “He acts the same way as you, harass people with E and has a point-and-click CC combo. He will not let you play bushes as those saplings hurt. Keep your distance from bushes AND him, ward them is optional but recommended if you have wards to spare. ”
0
OakuMarai says “AP Maokais are useless. Guardian. If he starts E level 1 poke the hell out of him and his ADC. If he picks Q do the same but be cautious about it. If he levelled W, respect his engage threat. Other than that he's more or less Treeona. CC his ADC if he engages.”
0
OakuMarai says “he's got good poke and he can engage quite easily. try to engage onto his ADC if he engages onto yours. if he engages onto you, wed him to your turret with W and pronounce them dead treant and wife.”

TreezNutz says “Your traps can trigger his traps, and you can get away pretty easily by pressing Q and can block his ult with your clone.”

DixonTheGuideMaker says “Avoid standing towards the bottom side of the lane as Maokai will place Saplings Sapling Toss(E) inside the bushes and they’ll deal a lot of damage to you if you’re caught by them. Make sure you hit level 2 at the same time or before Maokai as he has great all-in at level 2. At level 1, if you’re unsure what ability he has taken, make sure you stand back and out of range just in case he starts Twisted Advance(W), he can’t gain an early health advantage. In the early game, try to use your range advantage to poke and harass him down. Try and stay at max range though so he cannot get on you with his W.”

M4DN355 says “Save your E for when Maokai engages on you and you can turn fights around easily. If he uses his full combo on you, just E away since his damage is so littler and Q him into your teammates if there are no minions in the way since he'll be on cooldown for a moment. Laning phase is really easy, but later game (after level 6) will become a bit more difficult due to his ultimate.”

Lugos says “Those E's in the bush make it very annoying, always be aware of that, and keep a distance, you will be fine.”

Mr Jamba Juice says “Type: Support - Any Tank played in the Bot Lane is somewhat easy for Taric. Tank Maokai Support is actually more of a Level 2 Threat, as he's more reliant on his Engage (W) and R rather than his Saplings (E). Don't play in the bushes in this matchup, you will get poked to death. Play Parallel to your ADC when the wave is Pushing towards you, and in front of your ADC when pushing Towers to prevent them from being W'd by Maokai so far away from safety. If Maokai tries to engage in this way, you can Stun him and punish him harshly.”
0
Navn says “Laning phase won't be too rough, but there's also not a whole lot you can do with him putting sapplings into bushes, and it'll be hard to find opportunities to engage since he'll have a lot of vision control too.”
0
Jageiko says “Maokai Support is your bane. He will break your spine. Perma keeping you from bushes with his E, his W goes through yours, he is too tanky to kill and has too much CC for your ADC to follow you. You got counterpicked and Its gonna suck a lot.”
0
RoseOfInnistrad says “Mao'kai actually is quite the nuisance in lane, but not great at following up your roams so look more for those. It's very hard to engage on to him or his ADC because of his W and Q (which of course cancels your mounted W), and his saplings also make it very hard to play around bushes. After 6 his disengage gets even better, but he is quite slow and one dimensional, leaving you with a lot of opportunities to find some game winning fights, playing peel or engage. ”

HachchickeN says “Situational good, if somehow ahead his objective control is hard to manage”

LordZaneLP says “i dont know this matchup, but you can tank him for sure, since most maokais support go ap you outtank him easily and kill him if he engages you, never engage him tho. Thats what he wants.”

AscorbicAcids says “Can't stop his engage and you have no brush control, post level 6 you can knock away his adc after he Ws in.”
0
LordZaneLP says “he makes so much dmg like blitzcrank and also heals himself and has poke and engage, rly unbalanced champ, but in mid late game you can beat his teamfight potential. Just dont try to win lane against him, its kinda impossible but after minute 10 you already outscaled him.”

Demonsedge90 says “Maokai's passive gives him a heal so you need to watch this and don't overcommit to him, watch his bot lane and look to focus them and always respect him when making your decision.”

hampenguin says “He kills bush-prowling but he's also not the strongest in lane. He does outscale you though while AP.”

SunnySneezer says “You're both ranged but the diff is he just spams saplings that apply constant pressure until they die while you have to actually hit your skillshots to do that. ”

Nozul says “Há quem ainda faça Maokai suporte. Compre Mikael e teu jogo ficará mais fácil. Não se posicione mal, senão ele te acerta o W, te enraiza e te deixa vulnerável para que o time dele te mate.”

TheBlueImperial says “He's a major counter to you purely because he almost impossible to engage on. However, you can counter his engagements pretty easily or counter engage onto his carry. Absorb his ultimate for your carry if he tries engaging with it, you will survive it but your carry wont.”

PumpkinMatters says “Eu botaria essa árvore chateada em "menor ameaça", mas acho que precisamos respeitar o que um Maokai consegue fazer. Existem outros sups que fazem tudo que ele faz, só que melhor, mas ainda assim esse champ apresenta algumas ameaças. Há duas builds possíveis pra ele: AP ou tank. Se seu oponente for pra dano, qualquer iniciação nele garante uma eliminação para seu adc, mas você precisa ter cuidado com o E do Maokai, que joga as cria dele no mato, porque elas dão muito dano. Caso vá para tank, o cuidado tem que ser redobrado, mas segue os passos das outras brigas com sups de iniciação. Quem começar, perde”

beefyylol says “Really tough matchup. It is virtually impossible to get bush control versus Maokai and his engage is super reliable with his W. Maokai ult is also great for peeling his team or counter engaging whenever you ult. ”
0
PumpkinMatters says “I would put this upset tree on "minor", but we need to respect what a Maokai can do. There are other sups who do what he does, but better, but still this champ has some menaces to us. There are two build he can go to: AP or tank. If he chooses AP, any engage on him can guarantee a kill to your ADC, but be aware of his children inside the bushes, because they HURT. In case he goes tank, you need to watch out, but the matchup will be similar to other engage supports: whoever starts, dies”
0
Winter Nicole says “Maokai: He can be annoying his his Q that he throw and his ult where he can trap us for awhile and he can be a annoying champion when it comes to him being a tank supp. (Recommend playing it safe and stunning him and heal your teammate the second your guys are stun and ult them so his adc doesn't do damage on your adc and Q them to do magic damage on them)”

TheAngryJacket says “Tank support, poke early for gold and damage, if he all ins target the adc, watch for bushes, e to lead saplings into the wave to control the push”

The Wands says “Poke potential with E and imminent danger with engage, tap the adcarry if it comes to fight.”

pastelzia says “Maokai is a engage tank but can also be played as an engage mage.
Maokai's Bramble Smash allows him to release an arcane shockwave that travels forth in a line in the target direction, dealing magic damage to all enemies it passes through and slowing them by 99% for 0.25 seconds.
Maokai's Twisted Advance allows Maokai to dash towards a target, becoming untargetable during the dash, and rooting enemies upon arriving to the area, canceling You and Me! and refreshing it's cooldown.
Maokai's Sapling Toss allows him to fling a Sapling to the target location, granting sight of the area. Once landed, Saplings remain stationary for 30 seconds or until they react to the first nearby visible enemy, chasing them for up to 2.5 seconds. Saplings explode upon colliding with an enemy or when they expire, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies upon detonation, capped at 300 against non-champions, and slowing them by 35% for 2 seconds. Saplings placed in a brush instead last 30 (+ 2.5% bonus health) seconds and deal double damage to struck targets over 3 instances as well as revealing them for 3 seconds. The first instance of damage is dealt instantly and the second and third instances occur each 0.75 seconds thereafter. The total damage is capped at 600 against non-champions.
Maokai's ultimate, Nature's Grasp, allows Maokai to summon a colossal wall of 5 thorny brambles that slowly advance in the target direction, accelerating over time, each stopping when they collide with an enemy champion. Each bramble deals magic damage to enemies caught within and roots them for 0.8 − 2.6 (based on distance traveled) seconds.
Overall, Maokai has a lot of crowd control, making him a good counter to Yuumi.”

Discord231 says “Maokai suele ser el soporte con mayor win rate vs Rakan, y tiene razones para hacerlo, pues puede cancelarte los combos, y pokearte desde gran distancia, además de que será amo y señor de los arbustos, haciendo que no puedas presionar a su adc.”

Maokai will never kill you.
Focus on farming and you will be a monster,when maokai had enough of the laning phase and he decides to join his team, bonk some towers.”

Sandor Clegane98 says “I prefer to call this the lumberjacking lane,literally outpoke his pansy ass and soon you'll find yourself wondering what to do with all the wood you just piled up.
Dblade.”

neuroplasticity says “
One of few champs that can rival you in terms of synergy with Imperial Mandate even though most Maokai players prefer tanky builds nowadays.
He is surprisingly scary in lane and annoying as hell ontop since his saplings make bush control Impossible.
His engage is point and click making it a pretty reactive matchup where you have to keep your distance.
His flash-W has little counterplay when setting up ganks for his jungler. That being said Maokai similar to Leona has no tools to escape once he engages and from 6 onwards you can disengage reasonably well with your ultimate.
In lane you want to save bubble for the enemy ADC and just scale up. You provide more utility for your team later on.
Redemption and Mikael's are both reasonable options depending on how fights play out.

Mr buckets says “How hard the matchup is really dependant on your experience playing against Maokai, Maokai is listed as a champ great into Bard since he has way better objective control than Bard has, and his laning phase is a tad better, but there is ways to counter him. Bait out his w and quickly enter the portal to take him with you into ur turret, and then quickly stun, he will either die or be forced to flash.”
0
Aerenax says “Maokai is annoying as he gets on top of you easily and he can CC you long enough with his W and Q to avoid you from dashing or running away from him. Also have to be careful on face checking bushes as the sampling brigade is waiting to blow up in your face.”

LimTheDestructor says “Engage his adc. Don't greed for killing Maokai when you aren't 100 % sure it's freekill - respect his health, healing and Aftershock.”
0
warmfishu says “Sap Magic (P) gives him a lot of sustain. Bramble Smash (Q) will stun and knock you back if you are near him. Twisted Advance (W) is a dash root. Nature's Grasp (R) is a large-scale root, though slow. Sapling Toss (E) does percent health damage, so watch out for brushes.”
0
Rasta Da Masta says “This may come as a surpirse, but this is a skill matchup. He has tools to sustain through lane, zone you out of bushes, juke your kit with untargetability, and set up ganks with his long ranged R.
Use your range to your advantage, don't take even trades, and”

PicklePantsLOL says “He will all in you when you walk up to harass him. Poke from afar to increase your survivability. ”
0
Korippo says “I don't really know where to start with this scratching post. He has self heal, his tiny tree minions are really annoying, and he has quite a number of ways to CC both you and your ADC thanks to his ult, Q, and W. Mid to late game he will mostly heal off any poke or peel damage, so it's very hard to get to him with his team around thanks to his number of ways to setup around them. I don't generally recommend playing Yuumi into this.”
0
CorgiBorgi says “E when he ults/W's and bait his sapling. Also use your Shield to body block the ult for your ADC.”
0
Distinger says “Maokai is a joke of a champion. All he does is staying AFK in a bush waiting to Flash W on you if you get any close.
Just perma ward bushes so you have vision of him and his traps.
Same as Blitcrank, if he engages on you wait for him to use Q so it doesn't cancel your E.”
0
0Banda says “ Maokai hard counters you so hard, he's W counters your combo as he can stop you and root you mid-air, and in teamfights he's R is really difficult to escape from
Against Maokai you should build as usual, but in the rune section you should take Unflinching in order to counter some of Maokai CC. You should also roam as much as possible since you have 0 kill pressure against him”

Idleangelo says “His point and click engage is manageable, but damn the saplings are annoying to deal with, especially mid game, when you're trying to set vision down for objectives”

bobsalad says “A bit annoying when he puts sapling in bushes but you can trigger the sapling then run away. You can outrange his w.”
0
Jowoey says “This is only really picked with something like Samira or Lucian because of how annoying the root is. Lane phase is really hard to play against him but you can almost certainly outroam him. Never extend too far into the lane to poke him. Wait for him to try to last hit a minion for his Relic shield and then maybe get a W on him if it's safe.”

TheBestestBork says “He can be annoying, but if its too much just rush boots and watch his mini-me's die on their futile way to you.”

King Crow says “He can deny bushes, which is what you do. His engage range isn't the best, but the amount of zoning he creates naturally counters Fiddlesticks.”

DeusSciMachina says “Ult can lock you down and he can poke you with saplings while having good sustain due to passive.”

Topazor says “His lockdown is a tad worrying, but if he dashes on to you he leaves himself completely open to being counterstruck and autoed from there.”

Naut1Trick says “Tree man. watch his saplings. Keep an eye on them. Keep an eye on his ult in team fights, become a wall for that to prevent your team from being rooted and then dying.”

DanNS12 says “Don't stand near the bush and be careful when harassing him he can flash all-in you and watch out for his lvl 6 he can cover the whole lane in vines and all-in you. Also in the later stages of the game, it's extremely annoying to contest objectives or ward because he just throws his garden gnomes in bushes which chunk you for half hp lol.”

Doody_tco says “Heavy CC that makes Yuumi struggles to save her carry early game”
0
Jaori says “It's easy to lose in this one if you hadn't played it before. Whenever he uses his W, wait with your E until the root goes off. If you use it before, the body slam will not cc him, neither will it damage him. You'll be left with no escape and a wasted ability.”

Bardificer says “Rush warmogs and you're chillin. E and second wind / revitalize means you're unpokable for him. Get that warmogs too, and he's useless.”

qosmox says “Position your blade, make 1-2 emp. Q auto’s and apply your grasp whenever it’s up, and back out, and repeat. You’re simply so much stronger all early levels than he is, abuse it to the max with short trades. The only thing you should be careful about is taking longer trades inside a minion wave, since he can lock you down for a long time with W + Q, while healing himself up with the passive. So keep short trading him down for every CS he goes for until he’s low enough for you to all in him.”

Daraysen says “He is pretty open to you but he is tanky, he will try to use his saplings in the bushes, use it against him, activate them and pull them into your minions to make the wave come to your tower.”

KeleiX13 says “Maokai excels at brush control with his saplings. Keep brushes warded to keep yourself from being hit by one. If you know there is a sapling in a brush, either wait for it to die by itself or lure it out and try to out run it with your E. Maokai ult doesn't usually hit unless you are already CC'd, be it soft or hard. His W range is rather small so you can still slap some powerchords onto his without worrying too much.”

LilRidge says “Maokai's (E) Sapling Toss is going to be a big problem in this lane. They make up for a lot of his poke, so you will want to avoid walking into unwarded brushes as they get stronger when in brush.
Try to get the saplings out of a brush by checking the brush and moving away from the saplings as you are faster than them when mounted.
Play to Counter-Engage as he will stop your engage with his.”

Starchase says “Care of his E, his poke with that ability can cath people off guard most of the time, sustain all the damage with your E.
Tell your ADC to stay away from the bushes, there is where his E becomes much stronger.
Care about his lvl 3 and lvl 6 all in, he has great setup for ganks.
Rush Mikael's Blessing.
You outscale him pretty hard.”
0
Takitsu says “Another niche pick. Maokai is a better tank than Thresh, so if he gets onto your carry, rather than look for the enemy carry you should focus on peeling maokai off. Save Flay for before he gets into range of your carry, or after he has landed on them. Maokai Saplings are your responsibility to drag out from the bushes. You can even lead them into the minion wave to help steal cs from enemy carry :D”

mscocca says “High defenses and too many Crowd Control effects - that Nidalee fears the most, are going to give you a very hard time.
Plus, he is going to abuse and get you out of the bushes where you should be staying the most during the laning phase.

vnillz says “He's not really played as a support anymore, but I have seen him occasionally. Watch out for his sapling toss, because they can easily burst you down and he has the upper advantage with it to harass you. Try to out poke or trade evenly as much as you can. ”
0
Jexeff says “One of the cheesier supports. Although Maokai is starting to lose popularity, it is still a pick that you will run into. Keep track of his saplings in order to avoid unnecessary damage. A good Maokai will also place sapplings in bushes that will cutoff jungle paths and bushes you will pass through in your rotations. You can always try to drag saplings from lane bushes towards your creep wave to control the wave closer to your tower. This can be beneficial in some cases where it will be ideal to have the wave closer to your tower. Other than that, hold your flay if you see them approaching to prevent wasting it during their twisted advance. Once they have used twisted advanced it is important to flay away from you so that they cannot combo into bramble smash. If they have used twisted advanced they become fair game for all of your CC. Definitely one of the harder and more annoying matchups you will encounter.”

Frank6264 says “Actualmente uno de los mejores soportes del meta y uno de los peores enfrentamientos para una Karma. Eviten entrar en los arbustos sin visión porque puede pokearlos con su E y bajarles mucha vida sin siquiera acercarse, además de que su engage no se puede esquivar. Traten de pokearlo en línea para que no pueda entrar ya que es un personaje cuerpo a cuerpo principalmente.”

Dannala says “Maokai has some sustain and some mobility with an untargetable ability which makes making a proper Cocoon engage difficult if he has a nearby target. Most likely will be a farm lane as he's too tanky and slippery in most cases, but poking him early is simple and with little risk but low reward. ”
0
Titans Revenge says “Maokai support is, well, broken at the time of writing this guide. He is definitely annoying for Thresh players as he can simply just dodge your hook by pressing E and engaging on you with an instant root. Even as full AP he is hard to kill due to his passive healing on auto attacks.”
0
RedNBlue says “He is sort of wonky, he will use his sapling toss and bomb you as you take wraith stalkers from him. You just have to hope while your slowed you don't get rooted and jumped on by everybody in bot lane and die. That will be very hard and troublesome.”

ANC Bence says “Position on the left side of the lane no matter what, in this match up you can use bushes because of his E, but with a strong adc on the left side of the lane you can win all ins. Just don't walk into bushes. ”

GMGZ2 says “A skill match up, whoever hits there abilities better wins. Sadly for Shaco I say Maokai has a slight advantage, both of you have something that can be used in bushes to deal DMG to anyone that gets close. Also, both of you have good poke and CC. Maokai has better sustain though so that is the difference.”

fm Mac says “Maokai can get on you or your adc easily meaning you have to stay on your adc, it shouldn't be the end of the world if he gets on your ad and your ahead but if you get behind he can perma 1 shot you if his adc is there.”

just_juniper says “Imagine Lux. But with way more CC. And instead of being a Demacian noble, it's a literal tree. Avoid bushes like the plague and always stay out of his W range whilst poking. The matchup is winnable, but so annoying.”
0
InsaneWind says “Does it really need to be said? Saplings! you can use your W to eat them up, at level 4 when you put your second point into your W you wont take much if any health damage from them. Late game thou AP Maokai struggles to survive but deals TONS of damage, be mindful of bushes do not blind check them or you will fall victim to 3-5 little saplings that can take you well below half hp or kill your carries.”

White Cr0w says “Skill matchup.
An smart Maokai will ward his jungle, and ask for help when he is countered so they destroy you in 2v1 with his CC.
When invading, avoid taking common paths, and going 1v1 him isn't a good idea if he has everything up. Focus on feeding your lanes and securing all drakes. Since his ganks are epicly strong earlygame due to jump-stun, make sure your lanes are warded so enemy jungle is, so your allies can predict his ganks.”

Wicked Cherry says “I've seen it happen and at that time I hated it but he's not really that much of a threat. He can only root you with two of his abilities. So stay out of range or silence him. He's too tanky to kill but great to harass.”
0
orbiterpluto says “Loads of tankyness and cc. Building enchanter would be the better option as he may target the carry instead of you. Once he roots someone you root him back. Pop your ult when he engages. Keep in mind that Daisy can shield you from him ult so stay behind her when he uses it.”

ICannon says “If someone does decide to play maokai support,you're pretty screwed.Either play very safe or dodge the game.”
0
Daedralus says “This guy can be quite annoying due to his rather stupid damage compared to how tanky he is as well. His hard CC abilities are your main problem as you cannot heal off during these time periods and will really hate the game due to your Q having a delay on its damage and heal proc as you might die during that time interval (personal experience here). His ultimate is also annoying as it provides him damage reduction which also means heal reduction. But overall, if you simply get a sprit visage at one point, his damage will be greatly reduced and your healing increased, that you shouldn't have a problem. Keep your ultimate as a last result and do not engage him with it as it is better to keep it for a 100% heal from a low percentage.”
0
EnchantedCat says “One of Kayle's easiest matchups since it's practically a free farm lane as Maokai is just a CC-healing machine. Beware of the enemy jungler since if Maokai can get close to you it's probably a free kill and can easily towerdive you with his jungler, however apart from that this lane should be pretty free and you should be able to scale nicely.”

PandaSenpai101 says “Never facecheck bushes as his E does more damage if it comes out of a bush. You should look to poke him with Q and vitals. His sustain can become annoying, but it's not too big of a problem. His E costs a lot of mana early, so look to all-in him when he doesn't have mana.”

Tips Against Maokai in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
TwTvRANGERZX says “Don't start trade or fights with E, since he can just knock you back and disengage. Start by walking up and hitting him until he Q's you, then E after him. Play aggressive in early before he gets armor items.”
0
RandumPersin says “One of the easiest matchups in the game for Renekton. Take conq, build cleaver at some point, and you never need to worry about this guy. If the Maokai is cracked he can W our Q, but even then we still win the trade with E aa W aa E; it's 100% unlosable. Maokai scales super well, so make sure to lock in an early freeze between levels 3-9 and maintain your dominance into midgame.”
0
AdventurousBoldJourney says “He can't deal with your damage, we outstat him early. He can set up for his jungler well, so be wary.”
0
SrMolinv says “Le ganamos en early. Pero tiene un 4 porque es dificil de snowballear. Mucho disengage, mucho daño base conforme escala y mucho sustain. Este matchup depende mucho del jungla que tenga Maokai. Farmea todo lo que puedas, obligale a gastar mana y se mas util que el. Puede cancelar nuestra 3Q con su Q y evitar la R con su W. Cuidado con el arbol”
0
Smudey says “Maokai kinda sucks early game, even after the rework. You are way stronger than him early so try going for as many short trades as possible. This keeps him from sustaining through you with his passive if you did long trades. Don't overpush though since he has a really good gank setup and can stun you under tower so try to freeze the wave under your tower if possible.”

Fizzy says “Tive poucas experiências com maokai porem digo que é consideravelmente facil se conseguir encaixar seus parry dentro do combo dele, podendo stunar ele”
0
RuchaczSzmat69 says “I didnt play against maokai for a very long time but i do think its a free lane, the only problem is his sustain that you empower with your Q poke as his regen aa resets with every spell he got hit with. His main combo is going in with W, place E on top of you and Q you, set yourself free from his stun with your W aa with passive him and instaplace barrel underneath you. Then destroy it, passive auto him again and you should win the trade every time.”

BreadyToCrumble says “Maokai is easy because he has very little kill pressure and you'll win pretty much at all stages of the game. Be careful of the bushes though as his empowered saplings actually do lots of damage. Also, he has really good gank setup with all of his CC so try not to overextend or dive him. Slowpushing is great as he has pretty weak waveclear.”

Oogaboogaga says “Maokai tends to out sustain you with his passive and has very good gank setup for his jungler. Play smart and farm in this lane.”
0
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Maokai is also weak in the early game. It's hard for him to kill Nasus. All you need to do is safely farm until your level 9 powerspike. With 150+ Q's stacks you can start to play agressively. ”

CosmicTurtle88 says “Same as Malphite, but he can heal a bit. Just farm him for Grasp procs and once the wave is pushed in you can all in and run him down with Ghost. If you're really smurfing you can eat
him when he Q's you so he's in your stomach when you get knocked back, and will come with you. Bramble is good vs him too since he needs to auto to proc his heal. ”

Taiquyorah says “MU à l'avantage de Maokai car il peut esquiver les barils grâce à son dash.
Il ne peut pas vous tuer et vous non plus donc c'est une farm lane, vous serez plus fort en late game sur le stuff critique et le stuff bruiser.
Il vous out-sustain donc ne chercher pas à trade sauf si vous pouver le tuer.”

One of the easiest matchups for Yone.
You can zone him or freeze on him.
Steer away from bushes and he is useless. You can denay his ult with a good E or R.
Very easy to gank if he has no ult.”

wooverbo says “?????????? who plays this top lane still... He is not strong enough to have any kill threat on you. Just spam Grasp procs and kill him. Just keep in mind his cooldowns when trying to run away from a gank with your Abyssal Dive since he can cancel it with most of his kit.”

Maokai is annoying in lane he is so much sustain you can just stack your passive on him but if its a maokai you aint killing him no time soon he can escape your wall with his dash so play safe stack up and wait for jungle ”

VituVonDoom says “Usually, tank matchups are difficult for Jayce, but Maokai... Just does no damage. Run FS or Conq, and cut the tree down with your hammer. Stay away from the bushes, his potatos will hurt you quite a bit, and make sure to rush antiheal”

NegativePhoenix says “Maokais rework has given him some backbone and brought him back into power. Full tank Maokai even can 3v1 a good team and come out alive. Early game due to his buffs his power is a bit stronger than yours but as the game progresses you obviously scale better especially since he is going full tank. If you know he has a sapling in a brush, stay away from it or bait it out and have it chase a minion instead. He has to be in your face for trades and will use his saplings to poke so avoid that as best as possible. You can W his ult as well if he isn't close enough so keep that in mind. He's just a CC machine so be cautious when getting ganked since he has enough to keep you still.”

Potent213 says “Rare matchup but really easy, you win any form of trade as long as he doesn't get his empowered E with bush on you.
Both his Q & W are reactable and parryable very easily, same for his ultimate.
Abuse him in lane, look to freeze and deny him xp and cs as he cannot commit as you win if you fight while the wave is pulled in towards you as you can chase him down.”

If you want to totally remove his fun just take Ignite and he stands 0 chance. You don't even need to kill him, you can just chill, farm and you will win. The only issue with Maokai is the time you take to kill him, since good players will kite your Q2 with both Q and W, so be wise in your Q recasts.”

MHLoppy says “His Q makes it difficult to deep trade him without your ult, and his passive will probably keep him healthy enough that you usually can't brute force past that disengage. His level 6 doesn't do much in lane against you, so if nothing else that's a good power spike to get a kill with. Remember to be wary of bushes, as empowered saplings can really hurt if you get in range of them. He has extremely strong gank-assist if your ult is down or it's pre-6, but his damage without saplings is quite limited these days.”

Cryniu says “Al inicio veo muy viable jugar agresivo.

Your Desired Username says “One of the easiest match-ups. There is absolutely nothing he can do to win this lane. Never settle for a short trade and always save you E for AFTER he Q's you away so that he can't get away. Try ulting after he used his ult so that you make it disappear. Rush mercs. Don't ult him later on, he will be too tanky.”
0
boboderaffe says “Nobody plays him top anymore but he can avoid your Q and ult burst with his W. You can’t really outtrade him because of his passive heal, you’ll simply drain your mana. Worst of all, his ult is a huge cockblock in teamfights.
If you’re unlucky enough to face a good maokai player just chill and farm as long as you can and look for tp plays past 6. ”

Play to bully/scale and he cannot match you in the sidelane. ”

I Am Goliath says “Similar to most tanks for Urgot, scaling matchup where you can't do too much to punish him early, I recommend building Cull on first back. Once you have Black Cleaver you can start to extended fight him more, once you get death's dance as well you should just destroy him.”
0
Anoying bro5 says “More of an annoying match up. You can parry his Q and his E to stun him. Beware of ganks often as Maokai is easy to assist his jungle. Maokai is fairly easy to kill early if you play around his grasp proc and stuns. After he gets bramble, just focus on farming and possibly freezing to get your jungle to secure the kill.”
0
Stinkee says “Maokai is a very unpopular top laner right now so you will not see him often. He will beat you in mostly every way. His Q will cancel your Q, he can W to dodge your Q or E, his saplings do percent health, his passive gives him a ton of sustain. It is very difficult to come out of this lane with a lead. He will rarely have enough damage to kill you ever though without a gank. Just look to farm. Rush Abyssal Mask here.”

Sovereign Kitten says “Plain and simple, Maokai counters bush harass which is our main form of cheese in the support role. While normally building full AP with Imperial mandate. It's devastating. You'll want to never use bushes to harass, and survive the lane with your ally until you can get out.”
0
BoilTheOil says “Take trades against him during the first few levels because that's when he's weakest. You have to combine E and W together or else he's going to dodge W's damage with his W. After he gets his first item component ( armor boots, bami's cinder, etc) it becomes hard to trade against him because he can disengage super easily. ”

Phrxshn says “This is a fair match-up for Singed so not too hard nor too easy. Dodge his Bramble Smash(Q) by avoiding the front of Maokai. Avoid his Sapling Toss(E) as it deals "Maximum Health Percentage". Dodge or get out of range of Nature's Grasp(R) to avoid snare.

LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Maokai has tons of crowd control and is impossible to kill. By WQ'ing you or your adc he can deny your entire engage. His ult can counter your ult, but only if you get caught by it. His saplings can also provide vision for incoming ganks, can deny your engage (they also slow), or can just poke you or the ADC from bushes.”

quinn adc says “First, Maokai players will use their W, Twisted Advance when you use your Q on him to dodge your Q.
His W is 525 range, which is spot on perfect with our auto attack range.
However, our Q is 1025 range, so the goal for maokai is to try to land longer ranged Qs on him.
Legit the only way you'll get this ability off because if you walk to close then he will dodge your Q with his W every time.
If you blind Maokai, he cannot W you since it is a lock on ability, but make sure he is actuall nearsighted first before walking up so that he doesn't get his W off before the nearsight de-buff applies.
Maokai actually does incredible damage, but he relies on his all-in combo to really ever do damage to you.
His Qs are easy to dodge in lane, which makes his sapplings his only form of threat, which aren't that easy to land.
If maokai Ws you, just retaliate with vault insantly and consume a harrier proc to out run the rest of his combo.
Be careful of entering bushes top lane becasue maokai will likely stack those with sapplings. You can't really outrun Maokai R, and so just watch out for his engage post level-6.
If he iniates with his R, and you can't get out of it, save vault for after. Let the R root you, then when Maokai Ws you, vault away after his W to allow you to escape his engage.
When you get 3 items you will SHRED maokai.
I'm telling you guys, this build on the left is hands down the best tank shredder build for Quinn.
You COULD get away with bork into mao, but I still prefer IE- Runaan's - Lord Doms because Bork just delays your Lord Doms spike.
You want this item ASAP to shred their armour, and bork just simply delays this 3 item spike.”

PH45 says “Can be semi-difficult to kill as he has built in sustain and he can just Q you if you try to jump on him. After 6 and with a couple items he shouldn't be a problem to you though. Again, be careful since he can setup ganks quite well.”

iZeal says “Very mana hungry early so you can just permapush him in and there is little he can do. Later on he becomes much harder to deal with since he shrugs off your damage with his passive sustain and has insane teamfighting capabilities. Be aware that his W can dodge your Q3 easily and his Q can displace your knock up sweet spot.
Once he has bramble trading becomes more difficult, so you might want to just push him into tower so he has to exhaust his mana if you can't fight him anymore.”

Sporkintahn says “ANNOYING!!! --- You won't see many Top in the current meta as he is a pretty OP support at the moment. --- If you do find yourself against one he is extremely annoying to deal with, is very tanky, has lots of sustain and a lot of CC that will lock you down in fights. His gank assist is extremely high so don't overextend too much in lane so keep tabs on the enemy jungler. --- He doesn't deal a lot of damage overall throughtout the course of a game but his base damages are still very high early in lane. Most will go tank which will make him very hard to kill as the game progresses and on top of that his sustain with his passive will make him even harder to kill in lane when trading regularly, many times he will just sustain back up any harass or trades you get into him. Be careful of the Brush as he can still deal a surprising amount of damage with his Saplings when they are placed there. --- You can win in lane by playing smart and around his cooldowns, don't take bad trades, be mindful of the brush and his saplings and don't overextend. You should be fine but you may not get ahead.”

Drake6401 says “This is a pesky laner because of his sustain and CC. He's very good at buzzing you off every time you want to fight and is amazing at setting you up for his jungler to gank.
The best way to beat this lane is treat it like most tank matchups and zone him off the wave by establishing early kill pressure. Because of how easy he makes ganks to be, heavy warding is recommended and pray you are on blue side of the map because it's harder to gank than red side. Later in the game, you will want to invest in a Mortal reminder if he's an issue in fights.”

Rhoku says “TL;DR - EASY LANE. DON’T TAKE BAD TRADES. DONT GET CHEESED BY SAPLINGS. TRY TO WIN TRADES HARD BECAUSE OF HIS SUSTAIN. CLEAVER IF BEHIND(somehow). CONQUEROR DAMAGE NEEDED.
Even if you miss ALL of your abilities and just auto attack him, you will probably kill him. He is very shit at extended fights. A Maokai will be looking to safely farm with his abilities and keep trades with you short, damaging you a little and then disengaging, with him healing off of his passive later. Just don’t leave yourself in a position where he can easily knock you back without you retaliating. Q spam poke him off of minions. If he roots you in order to dodge the Q, just W/E him in order to stop him from escaping. If possible, time your E/W (whichever one is left) same time as his knock back so the slow lets you catch up. Maokai is VERY GOOD at setting up ganks.”

The Rock Titan says “"[Grasp w/ Conditioning, Doran's Shield, W > Q] - I think Maokai is pretty easy since you both can't really kill each other. Given you maintain good HP.
- He's basically free Grasp procs for you. Be aggressive and keep stacking your grasp.
- Fight and trade away from bushes!
- Get MR for sure, your goal is to farm and proc grasp as much as you can.
- One thing to becareful is that he has very good jungle gank setup, so let him push you in!
- If your jungle ganks for you even once this game, you should win the lane. (Same for him though if his jungler gets a good gank off of you)
- Problem is, he's also playing hoping his team is going to carry him just like you...
- So winning or losing literally depends on which team's other 4 members is more fed
- You don't want to feed Maokai... he's pretty crazy with the sustain later on..."”

aurus666lol says “Tank with cool damage, but now he changed his role into Support, so I will call this matchup as tiny. If you meet him on topside, try to avoid getting hitted by his E from bushes, and always cast E when you see him casting W. It is tricky but still make-able”

JaxIsAHobo says “A joke of a matchup, once you build some sustain into him. Don't use your leap to leap to him to engage, as he can disengage easily with his knockback, and your Q costs far more mana than his knockback. Instead, try to engage on him by walking up and auto attacking, and using your Q to leap back on top of him after he's used his knockback to deal significant damage to him. Build Botrk or Sunderer first here, depending on your preference. I personally prefer botrk.”
0
Bombabo says “Maokai won't beat you in damage, but he will likely win a war of attrition. Keep in mind that each of your passive procs will lower the cooldown of his passive healing, making him hard to kill. In laning phase, He will likely play passively and keep his health topped off, until his jungler comes”
0
Vandenelis says “don't stand between him and your minions, so you don't get hit by his q.

I recommend using your ult on cooldown on minions to get free stacks”

SethPRG says “This tree is very weak early, and you can bully him. Try to freeze as best you can, because punishing him can be a bit of a struggle when he litters saplings in all the lane bushes. Just make sure he can't W your W to dodge it and you should win. Now eventually it will become almost impossible to kill Maokai Mid-Game because of his tankiness and general sustain. Hopefully, your early bullying of him will have a deep psychological impact, allowing you to keep punishing with him not fighting back. You won't be able to kill him most of the time, but in team fights, he is basically a free nuke onto the enemy team with your ult as he prefers HP items over armor stacking. It's best to ult him over his R into his team so you avoid the root, and the enemy team is too focused on you RKOing Maokai on them to be worried about your rooted team. It's in your best interest to build Divine Sunderer if you want to be able to solo kill him a lot, but Goredrinker is better here if you think there won't be much going on till a team fight, and you have a tank killer like Vayne. Go Executioners early and build Abyssal Mask eventually.”

Play this lane as aggressively as you can because he has reliable sustain thanks to his passive which means that he might just outsustain you at some point if you dont fight him. Never use Q if he has his dash up.”

EU_Toxicity says “One of the easiest tanks to deal with, just stay away from bushes and he'll never outdamage you as long as you can stick to him. Save your CC for after he uses his Q knockback and pull him back in. He can use his W to dodge your Q although in a 1v1 he should still not have enough damage to kill you. He has great gank setup though so be very wary of jungle ganks.”

iZeal says “Run him down, only use your Q once you have a couple of bleed stacks on him already or else he will W to avoid it. W or E his Q so he can't disengage. Be wary of ganks as this is pretty much the only way for Mao to "win" this lane. His teamfight impact is huge however, so hope that your botlane did not int.

NoxianBlood says “Maokai is a sustained tank but you can easily out trade him every time just get some magic resist, and stun him with few knock-ups and don't make him root you and Q you, he can interrupt your channel, and watch out for late game he will incredibly out sustain you but overall Maokai doesn't really pare well against Sion, so if you play this correctly you should win.”

AWierdShoe says “Position your blade, make 1-2 empowered Q auto’s and apply your grasp whenever it’s up, and back out, and repeat. You’re simply so much stronger all early levels than he is, abuse it to the max with short trades. The only thing you should be careful about is taking longer trades inside a minion wave, since he can lock you down for a long time with W + Q, while healing himself up with the passive. So keep short trading him down for every CS he goes for until he’s low enough for you to all in him.

TrinityForceYasuo says “Maokai is really annoying for yasuo, he can cancel your Q with his or dodge it with your W which snares you. Try to stay away from the bushes because most likely he will have put 1 or 2 of his E's in there. Early game is the time to try. Contest EVERY SINGLE CS and trade with him to make an all-in possible bit later. If he gets too tanky i would suggest go for a bork or some early crit and when you have the space for an extended trade the crit will give you 50% armor ben from R. Bork will help you take bad trades (sustain after trades AKA lifesteal) and kill him too. Also his R is blockable with your W. Freeze against him because he is a tank and he won't gonna win extended trades.”

Saarlichenbog says “Maokai's sustain rivals yours but his tankiness is unmatched. He outscales you later and seemingly sticks on you like glue later in the game with the short CD of his W which sets up a sequence of CC which chains you to a single spot and rendering you useless. However, you can absolutely take over the laning phase against him in a 1v1 scenario with his sustain lacking until he gets Spirit Visage. With his early game being his weakest point, taking advantage of his low damage early on allows you to outduel him and possibly stall him off his items until much later on in the game which isn't feasibly reliable for him in the fast paced meta we are currently in. It's a little difficult to play into this matchup later on but it's generally not a one-sided matchup.”

Frostyfps says “You can start Q and look to stack passive early to fight him at level 1 or cheese at level 2, you will have no issues in this lane as long as you respect his minion wave and that he sets up ganks really well. It is also extremely hard to dive him if it is post 6 and keep in mind that your character will auto him when he roots you so spam S if you are under his tower (if you have auto attack enabled in your settings). He is hard to fight when he has bramble if you haven’t gotten ahead of him before then so you might need to wait until botrk.”

Luceris says “Standard Grasp Runes
Build CULL Manamune or Black Cleaver
Fairly easy lane phase. His hop onto you is 525 range and his Q (displacement) is 600 range. So playing at your max range for the full lane leaves him nothing to do but attempt to farm. Maokai is also SUPER HARD TO KILL as Senna. That is the only reason it is a 50-50 matchup. If you do not farm properly then he will spike harder than you and he will just hop onto you and ult you to death XD You can get loads of stacks in this lane due to his passive healing him, this causes him to feel more comfortable taking poke THUS giving Senna WRAITHS AND GRASP STACKS!!! Manamune is great for scaling but if you dont cs well it stops your first item spike by a huge amount. Going Black Cleaver is a sager option that allows you to stay in your lane and keep maokai there too.”

ERNESTSAURUS says “CONQUEROR SETUP - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS OR CULL + POT =
Maokai is one of the easiest matchups for Nasus, remember Nasus was used in WORLDS by Longzhu Gaming as a COUNTERPICK against FNATIC Maokai last pick, Longzhu was able to win the game with a clear Top lane advantage as Nasus was 2/0/0 even . This is one of the most realistic lanes that you can ever have as a tiny threat to Nasus. Maokai simply lacks of Mana sustain and Damage to outpoke Nasus, farm behind your minions and look to predict his Q to reduce his damage and once you get lvl 6 and Sheen he can't stop you unless he has his jungler but with the Conqueror setup, you can pretty much do 1v2's. Later on to the game you should have kills from laning phase and look to either teamfight if the enemy team has little CC, or look to setup a splitpush in case they have a lot of CC. This lane you will only lose it if you are either trolling or you got permaganked.”

Grayified says “Conqueror or Lethal Tempo Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Long sword refillable potion start. The biggest thing about maokai matchup is sticking onto him with his ways of disengaging with his Q. Maokai can actually cancel tryndamere's spin with his Q knockup if he times it correctly, so you need to always look to start trades with an auto attack or wait until he q's minions to look to spin on him. Make sure that if you are doing an extended trade that you move your character in between auto attacks to stay between maokai and his escape path (usually his turret.) Maokai wants to take short trades with you, but Tryndamere wants the long trades. So make sure when you pressure him that you are manipulating your wave so that it is in a position where you have plenty of room to run him down. When you dive a Maokai after getting him low enough, make sure that you save your spin to stick onto him rather then just for damage. Always start a dive off with an auto attack if its possible that way you can save your spin to better stick onto your opponent. In the mid-late game Maokai gets really tanky, but on the splitpush if he is overextended past his turret you can still run him down. Maokai usually won't have enough damage to threaten a 1v1 solo kill against tryndamere. If you cannot dive maokai, use your mobility to outrotate him and look for spots to flank his team after pushing him in.”

I Am Goliath says “Another favored matchup for you atleast in lane just because your W and poking abilites are so good against tanks and champions that can't get to you, the only thing Maokai can do to get onto you is W which then you can just E away and keep on kiting him.”

wallobear53 says “Maokai will plant his E saplings in the lane brushes and the river brushes both as a way to provide vision as well as allow him to avoid gank due to the E slow. Be careful about them and let your Jungler know about their location beforehand.
Maokai can tank up a lot of damage and then heal it back up with his Passive. Rely on your Auto-Attacks for damage and make sure you go for short trades and don’t give him enough time to heal a lot of health with his Passive.
After his first back, take a good look at which item he has taken as it can allow him to win extended skirmishes with ease. If he all-ins you, CC him immediately and then back off after landing whatever amount of return damage which you can possibly land.

ModxLoL says “Despite what every other low elo Riven main claims, Riven actually beats Maokai in lane when played correctly. The most important thing is to not get knocked back by his Q when you're trading with him WHILE YOUR SHIELD IS NOT UP. His Q and W are what you have to watch out for in this matchup. It's why W into 3rd Q is a really important combo in this matchup. If you don't 3rd Q immediately after your W, then he can use either his W to cancel the damage and knock up(which means another auto) of your 3rd Q, or he can knock you out of your animation with Q and disengage.”

MateuszNH says “Skill matchup in his favour.
On highest elo he is almost unbeatable for you but without as much pressure to deny your CS as extreme thread champs, In lower ones you can all in him lvls 1-3 and you should be fine after 6 if he doesn't stack too much armour or buy black cleaver (don't do it if no one else is tanky though). Avoid trades in lvls 4-5, his Q is too strong punishment.
Try to jump on him with E everytime he uses Q, otherwise he can use it to disengage(if he doesn't just melt him and it's free game), try to bait him away from bushes and do get yourself cheesed into them by his Q. Keep good vision because he set up ganks extremely good.

Discord Rengar Mains says “You can't kill him, he can't kill you, but he scales pretty well and his CC is kind of nuts. He can set up ganks decently well too, and if you are not careful he can whittle you down without you even noticing. He is also kind of annoying because of his empowered E on bushes, which means that you might eat free (if not crippling) poke for trying to abuse your strengths. That's not to say lane is hopeless however; far from it. You can deal with him easily at levels 3-5 and if you get a kill or two he will never be able to do anything to you on his own. The only real problem is that, if the lane goes even, he will just facetank everything you have because of armor and his passive, which means that trying to kill him on your own is a complete waste of each other's time. To try and get a lead, get charges early, begin poking him down, and at levels 2 to 3 you can try to go for the kill if he is around 50% HP and you have ignite. You can save up W for his Q damage, it will reduce most of it without issue and if he isn't careful he will run out of mana fast trying to bring you down. BotRK + BC makes this matchup considerably easier, if only because you will hurt him enough to reconsider (if he didn't get bramble vest, ofc).
Ignite and TP are both valid options, but don't get the former if you think you won't be able to kill him for whatever reason early game. Conqueror is the way to go, it just allows you to fight him at any time without issue.”

Braddik says “Small window pre-6 where you can maybe kill him if he has zero tank items. His cc however is super annoying you'll never catch him, and his life steal keeps him healthy. ”
0
Pedrokis says “Não é um tank tão chato de se jogar contra que nem o Malphite. / O maior problema dele é a cura; recomendo buildar Chamado do Carrasco e Cutelo Negro de first e tomar cuidado com os ganks do jungler inimigo, visto que o Maokai tem um tanto bom de CC.”

The Lost Drawing says “Muy molesto pero matable.
Aplica la mima que a Garen y a Kled”

Joaking says “He seems easy, but he's really strong. Don't underestimate maokai. Long trades are better against him.”
0
TheBiskoppen says “Like all other tanks Maokai will out scale, get a exe or bramble west early and you should be able to duel him till around level 13.”
0
TheRevenantsHand says “Besides the fact he refuses to die, Maokai isn't to be that scared of. That out of the way, don't just let your guard down against this tree. He'll do quite some damage early, and will heal a lot. To kill him better, Cut Down should defeat him good. Morellonomicon and Liandry's should end him. Ult him only after he ults.”

[10.6] Mordekaiser lane bully *Crush and Enthrall* IN DEPTH

ChocoChurro says “He can not disengage as easy as Zac, but can interrupt your Q + AA + W combo by CC'ing you, and he has a lot of sustain.”
0
ozmankaan says “Another unkillable, bt he cant kill u too. just farm calmly till 6 n get BC as soon as possible, he is doable then, he is easy to trade against just hard to kill coz too tanky, u will win lane easy.”
0
Split King says “You probably won't kill him if he just stacks tank stats, but he really can't kill you either in 1v1's. Maokai can, however, lock you down, and will often do so combined with a gank. This matchup is mostly about avoiding ganks. ”
0
feederfromelohell says “Don't even need Lumberjack. If you still lost to him refund the champion.”
0
Big Belly Bop says “You will need to keep away from bushes and get wards out ASAP. Maokai doesn't have lots of damage in his kit but he does have CC, which is a jungler's favorite thing. People love to camp this ol' guy due to his Slow, Root, Snare, Knockup, etc. Poke him early on and be ready to have a tent set up! Flash + TP, Corrupting Potion, Sustain rune page. You can trade out Bloodline for Tenacity if you prefer.”
0
ExfIamed says “So basically our "juggernaut" ( juggernauts are suppose to beat tanks btw) gets one shotted by maokai at pretty much every stage of the game regardless of how far behind he is and how ahead you are, but you can in laning phase once you get cleaver and executioners MAYBE beat him in a fight. Pack a lunch though cause you'll be at it for a couple days.”

9690 says “Very easy lane. Cannot trade with us at any point in the game.”
0
Loevely says “I see this champ so little that I honestly have no clue how good he is. Conq / Fleet / Grasp and beat his ass. Get grievous wounds early to stop his healing. ”

ENX Kai says “Troll pick SEASON 10, welcome to the deforestation.”
0
oscarlotus says “Your worst matchup by far. If he lands his W on you once you will 100% lose the trade no matter the level. He even wins over you early game by that point you know its a losing matchup.”
0
mightydylan101 says “Maokai is a rarely seen champ but he is more now then the past few months. Be sure to just outfarm and outscale him because if you get caught too close he can combo you and easily dominate lane if you dont stay back.”
0
ProgettoYorick says “I have practically no more than 2 games against maokai, but I can tell you that its damage is zero against you want, in this case you will be the bullies of corisa
OTP tip: prioritize the farm, don't waste resources hitting it.”
0
AlienMV says “While by himself he is not threatening, he has significant CC for ganks. Be sure to ward up and be wary if he starts running towards you.”
0
Mr. Nyahr says “Don't let him root you and combo, and be mindful of where he throws saplings.”
0
picklehater77 says “Once he gets his hands on his first health item, you won't be killing him, just play safe, farm up, roam when you can. ”
0
Bajnok says “Don't get near bushes. Simply farm lane. Try to poke him and get him in the early. Take teleport in this case or ignite if you are sure about you gonna kill him during the early game.”
0
ChrisPs says “After the recent patch he has become a braindead spammer to be honest , try to play safe and ask for help if needed .”
0
Atlascrower says “Maokai can reset you poke with his Passive, has tons of cc, but early mana-problems. Its not difficult for you to get into the Game, but you cant kill him. Be aware of Ganks, His CC is enough for you.”
0
Pacal Votan says “He has a good sustain and a nice combo, but its not enough to kill you. just ignore him and farm.”
0
Guantecillo says “Mucho CC pero carece de daño, sólo kiteando puedes ganarle.”
0
AsomeSonic says “he's not a mjor threat but prob beats you more than even in lane, just his passive keeps him up on you, your much better after lane in team fights, his w goes through your w”
0
SummonedLight says “Can go either way. Most likely you will win though.”
0
EpicDan01 says “His damage is very low and our cleavers can chunk him for good damage. Try not to dive him as he has good peel and can let the turret kill you for him.”
0
Rhinoface says “You just win at every stage in the game. Morello and you're fine”
0
Poppu says “He heals alot, strong CC, AP, and tanky-ish. Even match up IMO, play for the team. Disengage him from backline. Stack Grasp as much as you can.”
0
Petethebossch says “You outscale after 6 but watch for ganks due to his heavy cc. Also gankable”
0
Lynboe says “Maokai ne peut pas vous approcher. Et si vous gérez votre vague de sbires correctement il se fera sévèrement punir s'il essaye de farm, le Doran’s shield rendra ses trade insignifiants, les bottes de Mercure sont également très efficaces face à cet Arbre.
Essayez de freeze la vague de sbires proche de votre tourelle afin de l’empêcher de faire faire quoi que ce soit.
”
0
TheOsKaRoO says “You outscale him with your passive heal, however chasing him is really painful due to his stuns and slows.”
0
Jnewbringspain says “I hate this guy. His tankiness and sustain is simply too great. He still manages to do damage without any items, so just get out of his way and try your best to farm.”
0
messketchup says “Similar to Malphite: he has a good engage for ganks and teamfights. His sustain could help him but it should be pretty a straight forward lane.”
0
Sonny2o9 says “He doesn't have enough damage to kill you. Be careful as he can dodge your damage with his twisted advance (w). Trade with autos and q until you can one shot him. Free kill if he doesn't have flash. Remember you can Combo through his twisted advance and ultimate to escape a gank or to all in him. ”
0
Devitt45 says “Maokai is a tank, and doesn't do enough damage to Garen that he can't heal through his passive. Just farm, you will eventually be able to kill him.”
0
Zestysquid says “You probably won't kill him ever unless he jumps into your boxes early on. If it happens later in the game he'll usually survive even 4+ boxes. His Q can knock back boxes and briefly stun them. Best option in this lane is to push him into tower and try to kill the jungle if they gank.”
0
Prince Afghan says “Maokai will be very difficult to kill but also does next to no damage as you can sustain almost all of it back up. Just focus on warding and not dying to ganks and you will be set.”
0
M2 Jizu says “Aunque el Maokai vaya full tanque, comprate resistencia mágica, revisa el equipo enemigo para ver si necesitas las Botas de Mercurio, si ves que las necesitas compralas en el primer back.”
0
Bombabo says “Maokai will most likely play passive and ask for lots of ganks. Don't overcommit on him unless you know you're alone, in which case you can kill him fairly easily.”
0
veroverse says “This guy sucks. CC is your enemy as Urgot, as you can't walk around them to proc passive. Additionally, his W can make him immune to your R.”
0
RainbowNova says “Maokai isn't annoying against Tankmo. If he uses his passive on you while you have Thornmail, the healing will be demolished. His abilities aren't that annoying, they're more cc-based than damage based.”
0
Lil Tidepod says “Maokai is really tanky, and his passive can turn the tides of a lot of fights, as the heal he gets from it is insane, but he really shouldn't be a threat to you without his jungler. He simply doesn't do enough damage. His W makes your Q easily avoidable, as he goes untargetable when he uses it and he'll root you when he gets to you, but good timing will allow you to hit the majority of Q's. ”
0
DrMoneybags says “Maokai does pretty solid damage, but after his non-stop nerfs after his rework he's not much of a threat if you play well. He's only as much of a threat as his jungler is, so be sure to ward efficiently against ganks. Cleaver+Mortal Reminder+BotRK will help you fight him when he stacks HP and armor lategame.”
0
Big Boy Matty D says “He pretty much can't kill you unless he has help. You have a few windows to kill him before he gets too tanky, at level 3, 6 and when you complete Trinity Force. Try to engage when he uses abilities to waveclear. If you can't kill him look to push up and roam using your ultimate.”
0
Qubert64 says “Longest fight in the history of fights. Run klepto and laugh when neither of you die.”
0
The_CuItivator says “Another tank another win. If he Ws you, he dead. But can easily create ganks for the jg so watch out a bit.
”
0
Zdenster says “Take Klepto or Conqueror. Rush Merc's Treads, then Sheen.”
0
TheNinjaRoid says “Can't really kill him early, unless you get ahead. He's fairly tanky, and he has good sustain. Ask for ganks to get kills. Mercury Treads and Sheen and you'll be fine.”
0
ElleryTheViking says “Pretty boring match-up. Two tanks bludgeoning it out. He wont ever solo kill you though. Q W E spam can definitely do some work, but with his cc and passive he's pretty hard to actually put down. Best bet is when he overextends post 6 is to ghost ult and all in him. ”
0
SynergyXO says “dodge q, watch bushes he throws his Es into. and you can take ignite to stop his healing when all inning him.”
0
E61K says “Make sure to keep pressuring him since he has very good sustain in lane. Other than that it's important that you Q him instantly after you pull him otherwise he will just dodge it.”
0
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: Tanky, Sustain, CC heavy. Weaknesses: Predictable CC, Sustain matched, Out-scaled. There was once a time where Maokai was a menace in the top lane, but now that time has passed. He is a much easier matchup than he once was considering you match him in terms of sustain and He’s a tank and you’re Fiora. You should be able to handle him throughout the early game if you do not feed him as you will scale much harder than he does. You can riposte his bramble smash and his root to get a free stun off and same applies with his ultimate. His sustain does make it difficult to all-in him so you are essentially focusing on farming and gaining items where your passive begins to shred him and the HP he is starting to build. Also, he shouldn’t be able to match you in a split push later in the game as if that needed to be stated any more.”
0
Funkihunter says “Not too much of a problem. His passive healing can become an issue. Instead of building Sunfire Cape as 1st or 2nd item, swap it out for Morellonomicon.”
0
BeastKing says “If you lose this matchup maybe illaoi isn't the champ for you.”
0
Moccamasterpro says “Pre-6 he cant trade you. after 6 all his abilities are shit, because they all include cc. an easy lane.”
0
Proxxecube says “Tree, also known as Groot, can be slightly dangerous as his sustain from cannibalism can make him a pain to push out. But, he is a tank, and you can simply shred down his enormous health and resistance pool.”
0
Tvoi_clop says “Основная проблема Маокая это его пассивка. Старайтесь харасить его как можно больше с помощью вихрей. НИКОГДА НЕ ПОДХОДИТЕ К КУСТАМ! НИКОГДА! ”
0
Trixelkour says “Counters you with more health and sustain than ever. Rush Adaptive and Merc threads to survive. Get Ghost and Flash just to play it safe. Makes you very susceptible to ganks. Don't even think about solo killing him, you have to be extremely ahead.”
0
E61K says “Avoid face-checking bushes and save your windwall for his ultimate. As with almost every super tank you fight PD>BORK>IE.”
0
undeadsoldiers says “Maokai - Conqueror
Early items (in order) - Tiamat, Mercs, Phage
- NO all in lvl 1-2 (even if passive stacked)
- Play safe in lane (avoid trades)
- Stay away from the bushes where he hides his saplings and never faceheck them when entering lane (he can early cheese you by rushing to lane and filling a bush with saplings)
- NO all in alone until Trinity
- He can dodge your ult with his burrow
- Ult cooldown: 120/100/80
”

Zachlikespizza says “He is very similar to Malphite except he is very spooky early. Maokai brings a very suprising amount of consistent damage early game and may be able to out play you by w'ing through your q's. Always be on guard against him and keep an eye out for the enemy jungler.”
0
Mouadyam says “another tank to dunk, just be careful as he can lock you down for a jungle gank, easy lane overall”
0
Testqment says “Champs like Maokai or Mundo are no problems. You can trade them almost every time and just one shot them.”
0
TakeLPlease says “Maokai has tons of armor and health late game. Use their health and armor early game as an advantage. Late game will be hard to take them down. They will also deal lots of damage if you don't take them out early game, so beware. Also be careful of his exploding minions as it does massive tons of damage and keep you out of brushes.”
0
FlakNShrapnel says “He can be a pain with his cc and slows, but you outdamage him, so if he ever goes in on your just lick him and you win.”

iam colorblind says “Easy to play against.
Just make sure dont get stunned under turret!
Diving him is a No-Go!”

Skullsunderer says “His CC can screw you and make very vulnerable to ganks and being chain CC'd. ”

Lvl 100 Trunks says “Healing is strong when you try to fight him, he will CC, jungle ganks are always there.”

OrangeBeard says “He cant do much to you, because he cant build against your e true damage and slows so just max that and rush frozen gauntlet and he cant escape you”

Dacnomaniak says “Now that he doesn't do percentage health damage with his W theres not much he can do against you. His sustain is annoying but just try to out push him in lane to win.”
0
thedunkening111 says “He's not too bad. Can get tanky, but always killable. Even if zenith blade puts you behind him, he'll still be able to knock you away with how his own Q works. Look for long trades, and all in him when he is in lethal and can be bursted.
Take Conqueror”
0
galvapheonix says “ Maokai isn't too difficult to lane against. He has to get close to you to attack and his saplings got nerfed so don't do nearly as much damage. He will eventually become extremely tanky and have an unreasonable amount of cc so if you get ahead don't get cocky.”
0
Cyti says “Very even match up, since you cannot kill him but mid-late game, he can kill you. His passive makes his laning very easy against Veigar and so you should not poke him. Focus on getting cs instead. ”
0
Thoir says “Maokai is one of the easiest match up for Irelia. You can zone him from the farm and try to push the first wave and the first minion of the second wave to get a fast level 2 and kill him.”
