myszor says “Brak możliwości ukrywania się w krzakach znacząco utrudnia rozgrywkę szczególnie w początkowych fazach gry”

Liam2109 says “Aunque no tenga un daño masivo, tiene demasiado CC y sobrevive demasiado. Es ideal armarte cortacuras contra Maokai ”

daltonfresh says “Both his root (W) and knockback (Q) will cancel your engage. He will wait for your W to root you and push you back into his adc, so try to play around his cooldowns. His R will also cancel your engage, you can outrun it with your mobility, but you're probably better off blocking the ult for your adc. (Yes, Maokai's ult can be blocked, but make sure your adc knows that too). He is tankier than you and his E”
innae says “Maokai can lock you down very easily. You can bait him by going in on W and sending him into your backline, just be wary that this can backfire.”

ShriekingMammoth says “Similarly to Leona, Maokai cannot do his thing without getting hard punished by you. Just make sure that he is not cancelling your taunts with his Q smash as it can interrupt your taunt. Outside of that, this is an easy matchup for Shen.”

Kirkwardo says “You win poke trades all day so biggest threat is ganks which is the only time I am worried if he ults. ”

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.”

Tips Against Maokai in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

Hazardist says “Maokai wants to get up close to you to apply his Crowd Control, saving you the trouble of having to do an engage yourself. But his Crowd Control can easily set up his teammates for long enough to knock you out of a fight, so make sure to not get caught mispositioning. Runeset to take: Phase Rush.”

GodTakemeBack says “You cannot burst damage Maokai due to his full tank build, and will most likely CC you before you can close the gap. ”

kittygore says “Really anoying. Try to cleanse his R. Try to fight around bushes. Dont get caught. Try to countergank. Fight early.”
Bella Ciao says “Mercs + condition/overgrowth=free win, be aware of his ability to dodge tower shots with w, and try to tank his ult for your team if required ”
SelfLOL says “Has insane peel and if you make a mistake you get CC'd forever. Can invade. Build pen/eclipse. ”

shiifox says “isnt much of a threat 1v1 but has good cc and teamfights”

Jackiewawa says “Very rare pick, only really seen in pro play now. Standard tank matchup, you shred him and clear faster. He can look to cheese and steal your raptors but as long as you start it and have people watch entrances, you can avoid it.”
Neekster says “This champion clears slower than you. When Maokai ganks your laners at level 3 make sure you punish him hard with counterjungling. He will be gapped in no time. With how fast you clear it's most likely he won't be able to catch up your level. At most when played correctly he will be 2 levels down from you. You'll only need good clone [W] usage for Maokai and you'll be dominating the jungle in no time.”
