Damage
950Maokai
1,052Gragas
Gragas heavily out-damages Maokai by 102 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 Gragas's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,661Maokai

Gragas generates a commanding 1,830 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Gragas consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
3.0Maokai
1.7Gragas
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Gragas, with 1.3 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
2,702Maokai
1,783Gragas
Maokai vastly out-sustains Gragas, healing and mitigating 919 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Gragas is forced to recall.
