Maokai vs Ivern Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Ivern matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 9 recent matches analyzed, Ivern wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Maokai's 33.3%, giving Ivern a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Ivern controls the early laning stage, but Maokai outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Ivern needs to press advantages before Maokai reaches their power spikes, while Maokai should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Maokai leads by 850 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Ivern 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 Ivern 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.

338Ivern

Ivern dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Maokai. This lopsided early game means Ivern can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Late game (25+ minutes) is equally balanced, with Maokai at 50.0% win rate — only 0.0 points ahead of Ivern. Team fight execution and macro play determine the winner at this stage, not champion matchup advantage.

The power dynamics shift as the game progresses — Ivern has the edge early, but Maokai gradually takes over. However, the margins are slim enough that either champion can win at any stage with the right plays. Focus on taking advantages when you have them rather than waiting for a specific game phase.
