Maokai vs Evelynn Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Evelynn matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Evelynn wins with a 62.5% win rate compared to Maokai's 37.5%, giving Evelynn a 25.0 percentage point advantage. Evelynn 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. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 1.9s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Evelynn has a strong advantage in this matchup. Maokai players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Evelynn overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
0.6Maokai
0.9Evelynn
Maokai and Evelynn farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
687Maokai
1,179Evelynn
Evelynn heavily out-damages Maokai by 492 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 Evelynn's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,273Maokai
15,550Evelynn
Evelynn generates a commanding 3,278 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Evelynn consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
2.5Maokai
0.6Evelynn
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Evelynn, with 1.9 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. Evelynn should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
2,123Maokai
1,030Evelynn
Maokai vastly out-sustains Evelynn, healing and mitigating 1,093 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Evelynn is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Evelynn, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
