Maokai vs Sett Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Sett matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Sett wins with a 87.5% win rate compared to Maokai's 12.5%, giving Sett a 75.0 percentage point advantage. Sett 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 1.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Sett 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 Sett 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.

783Maokai
1,373Sett

Economy
11,372Maokai
15,008Sett
Sett generates a commanding 3,636 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Sett consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
2.9Maokai
1.3Sett
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Sett, with 1.6 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
2,877Maokai
1,891Sett
Maokai vastly out-sustains Sett, healing and mitigating 986 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Sett is forced to recall.
