Maokai vs Trundle Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Trundle matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 10 recent matches analyzed, Trundle wins with a 70.0% win rate compared to Maokai's 30.0%, giving Trundle a 40.0 percentage point advantage. Trundle dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.

Trundle 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 Trundle 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.
