Tips Against Maokai in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

parker3n9 says “This is an incredibly free lane for Swain. Maokai doesn’t pose much of a threat in lane, and once you have your ultimate, you can even turn many 1v2 situations to your advantage. Focus on consistent harassment with Grasp of the Undying and maintain pressure to keep him on the back foot. As long as you don’t allow him to scale uncontested, this lane should be easy to dominate. Recommended Runes: Grasp of the Undying Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport or Ghost and Teleport”
Spartaniko says “He has good sustain and very good gank setups, however, your Q poke and short trades are better. Track the enemy jungler and you will be fine 1v1 against this champion. E his Q.”
ABL Pantheon says “Never seen in Top, only in the past, but it's a a bit rough. You win early but lose as the game goes on. You can poke with Q and engage with W when he has Q, he can cancel it. He can also use W to disrupt your Q or W and E when he is going on you with Ultimate.”
SemenDrinker says “Bone plating Blade This guy does 0 damage and eats your entire combo to the face. Just be careful of his gank setups”

Frankoloko says “Pick Demolish and start Dark Seal. 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 use your E (directly below you if possible) as he W's onto you so that it guarantees the hit. Try ulting after he used his ult so that you make it disappear, but this is not necessary usually. Don't ult him later on, he will be too tanky to kill.”

Tips Against Maokai as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

ShoDesu says “You can use plants to counter his saplings but its hard to run away from mao once he ults.”
JVS8 says “he difficulty of the Maokai matchup depends largely on your experience playing against him. Maokai is considered strong into Bard due to his superior objective control and slightly better laning phase. However, there are ways to counter him. One effective tactic is to bait out his W and then quickly use your portal to take him with you to your turret. Once there, stun him immediately—this can either secure a kill or force him to flash to escape.”
BabyCuddlePunkin says “A great Maokai is a bit of a skill matchup, but will punish ANY mistakes you make. He can buffer your stun to avoid it with his warp. He can really throw you out of position. The key to this matchup is poking him outside of his warp range. If he gets onto you and you aren't extremely ahead in the lane, you're probably dead. You need to also beware if he goes on your ADC. You'll have to decide between a trade on him, using your stun after he warps, or walking right past him to make sure his ADC is CC'd or threatened to de-pressure your ADC that is engaged on. Very nuanced decisions here.”
mUI0g says “His long range E poke applies heavy slows, his ulti is a strong engage tool that is difficult to avoid. If he catches you with W, it is best to just all-in and die.”

Aerenax says “Maokai has tools to get on your carry without you being able to do anything. You can block his R easily with your E, so look for these opportunities. ”
Aerenax says “Maokai is annoying as he gets on top of you easily and he can CC you very long with his W and Q. However he has no way of getting out easily so you can punish that.”
zSharpFire says “Has sustain, cc, untargetable, will zone you out of bushes. ”

JVS8 says “The difficulty of the matchup largely depends on how well you know how to play against Maokai. Maokai is considered strong against Bard due to his superior objective control and slightly better laning phase. However, there are strategies to counter him. You can bait out his W ability and then use your portal to transport him into your turret range. After that, use your stun quickly—he will either be eliminated or forced to use his Flash.”
JÃOJÃO'S BARD GUIDE [14.17] by JVS8 | Bard Player
Arctic Arrow says “Maokai can be mildly annoying due to his ability to disrupt your engagements with his Q (Sapling Toss), which can make it harder to land your E (Crimson Curse). However, if you wait for him to engage or use his cooldowns, you can focus him down or target the enemy ADC effectively. His overall impact is manageable, and once his abilities are on cooldown, he has limited options to turn the fight in his favor.”
