Heimerdinger vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Heimerdinger vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Heimerdinger wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Maokai's 37.5%, giving Heimerdinger a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Heimerdinger 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.

Heimerdinger 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
1,071Heimerdinger
581Maokai
Heimerdinger heavily out-damages Maokai by 490 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights.

Economy
12,186Heimerdinger
11,149Maokai
Heimerdinger generates a commanding 1,036 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Heimerdinger consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
1.0Heimerdinger
2.2Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Heimerdinger, with 1.2 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
550Heimerdinger
2,046Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Heimerdinger, healing and mitigating 1,496 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Heimerdinger is forced to recall.
