Maokai vs Braum Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Braum matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 34 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 61.8% win rate compared to Braum's 38.2%, giving Maokai a 23.5 percentage point advantage. Maokai dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Braum players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 0.8s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai players can confidently pick into Braum and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Braum 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
1.3Maokai

Damage
495Maokai
333Braum
Maokai heavily out-damages Braum by 162 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Braum 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
8,932Maokai
8,581Braum
Maokai earns 350 more gold per game than Braum, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Maokai slightly faster item completions.
Utility
2.4Maokai
1.5Braum
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Braum, with 0.8 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
1,195Maokai
1,183Braum
Maokai and Braum have comparable sustain profiles, with only 12 HP/min separating their healing and damage mitigation. Neither champion can out-attrition the other in lane, so trades will be decided by burst potential and ability usage rather than sustain.
