mazewalk says “He is really annoying whenever he is AP or Tank. It is hard to disengage his W because he is untargetable during its animation, it is hard to pressure him from fog because of his Maokais juniors. During teamfights let your team tank ultimate if you are escaping and throw them lantern or tank it yourself if you are willing to fight. Luckily, his heals procks off autoattacks so Thornmail counters his Jungle/Top version.”

Fenreee says “|||SUPPORT||| This pick is technically in the extreme category, but you'll rarely see good Maokai players, so you won't actually need to dodge it. The main problem is that he beats you in every aspect except roaming and general map pressure. He has a more oppressive laning phase and controls bushes and key FOW locations that Janna players like to Q from, by using his sapplings. He also doesn't fall off, but you can't cancel his engages early on. Take Glacial if the enemy has enough AP for you to justify rushing Mikael's in lane, otherwise run Aery and play purely for scaling. If you have a rather diveable ADC you should probably just dodge it.”

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.”

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.”

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. ”

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.

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.”

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. ”

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.”

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.”

Youâ€™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 heâ€™s low enough for you to all in him.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

Quezel says “Maokai does a deceptive amount of damage especially in short trades but you win the all in easily just be careful of his w as he can use it to dodge your q.”

SNOBOY says “He has a lot of natural sustain, good base damages, and gets really tanky. Hard to poke him down, and near impossible to kill unless he really messes up.”

Xelaadryth says “This is just awful. Incredibly tanky so he'll outsustain you, teleport even if he gets low, and he can snare you out of your Energy Ball. Just try to push back and cs and land Qs on him when possible.”

Mr. Nyahr says “You can easily outrun his saplings and ultimate, especially with your W. He builds a lot of health, which you shred. Dodge his Q when possible and burn him down. ”

aimez says “Maokai support is not very common, but when you see one, you should not be super afraid of him. Given he does have a lot of cc, he can't do much, unless he has a strong burst adc to follow up.”

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.”

bluejaypig says “After the rework he is more broken with his ultimate root being very annoying, don't fight him in tight spaces and buy sweeper or ward to not get cheesed by his saplings.”

The Lost Drawing says “Se cura mas porque su pasiva depende del daÃ±o que reciba por habilidades, y tu daÃ±o en mayorÃa es eso. La 'Cota de Espinas' es buena pero el pega AP y se arma 'Capa de Fuego Solar' que es AP, un 'Yelmo' o de perdida una 'Mascara Abismal' si es conveniente para tu TEAM”

drunken hunter says “Maokai is a very tanky champ that doesnt get picked really often. But if he gets picked you have to be careful. He can dash to you, slow you and he takes almost takes 0 dmg when he activates his ult. You can try to do the lvl 2/3 engage but this champ is almost unkillable. ”

L3gislacerator says “His point-and-click CC makes him tough to peel, but you can do it regardless. Just make sure to stun him after he roots a target because if you try to before he can dodge it with his untargetability.”
