Gangplank vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Gangplank vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Gangplank wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Maokai's 33.3%, giving Gangplank a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Gangplank 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.

Gangplank 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.

Damage
1,347Gangplank
627Maokai
Gangplank heavily out-damages Maokai by 720 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 Gangplank's sustained damage advantage take over.

Gangplank generates a commanding 4,338 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Gangplank consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.5Gangplank
2.2Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Gangplank, with 1.8 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
1,016Gangplank

Maokai vastly out-sustains Gangplank, healing and mitigating 1,136 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Gangplank is forced to recall.
