Damage
546Maokai
640Annie

2.2Maokai
1.0Annie
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Annie, 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.

Sustain
1,974Maokai
477Annie
