Farming
0.9Lulu
1.2Maokai

Damage
250Lulu
491Maokai
Maokai heavily out-damages Lulu by 241 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Lulu should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Maokai's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
8,754Lulu
8,631Maokai
Lulu and Maokai generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 123 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.2Lulu
2.3Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Lulu, with 1.1 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. Lulu should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
561Lulu
1,353Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Lulu, healing and mitigating 792 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Lulu is forced to recall.
