Maokai vs Vayne Matchup Summary

Maokai dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Vayne players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

Damage
713Maokai
998Vayne
Vayne heavily out-damages Maokai by 285 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 Vayne's sustained damage advantage take over.

11,386Maokai

Vayne earns 386 more gold per game than Maokai, equivalent to roughly one additional component item. This economic edge comes from a combination of better farming, kill participation, and objective control, giving Vayne slightly faster item completions.
Utility
2.5Maokai
0.4Vayne
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Vayne, with 2.1 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
2,079Maokai
739Vayne
Maokai vastly out-sustains Vayne, healing and mitigating 1,340 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Vayne is forced to recall.
