Elise vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Elise vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Elise wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Maokai's 16.7%, giving Elise a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Elise 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 sustain, where Maokai leads by 1,029 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Elise 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.

Farming
1.0Elise
1.1Maokai
Elise and Maokai farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
735Elise
539Maokai
Elise heavily out-damages Maokai by 196 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Maokai should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Elise's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,430Elise
9,686Maokai
Elise generates a commanding 1,744 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Elise consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.3Elise
2.3Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Elise, with 1.0 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. Elise should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
696Elise
1,726Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Elise, healing and mitigating 1,029 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Elise is forced to recall.
