Diana vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Diana vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Diana wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Maokai's 37.5%, giving Diana a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Diana dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Maokai players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 2.1s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Diana players can confidently pick into Maokai and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Maokai away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Utility
0.3Diana
2.5Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Diana, with 2.1 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Maokai far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights.

Sustain
988Diana
1,755Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Diana, healing and mitigating 767 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Diana is forced to recall.
