Maokai vs Yasuo Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Yasuo matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 25.0%, giving Maokai a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Maokai dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Yasuo 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 1.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai players can confidently pick into Yasuo and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Yasuo away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Damage
589Maokai
802Yasuo
Yasuo heavily out-damages Maokai by 213 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 Yasuo's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,260Maokai
10,593Yasuo
Yasuo earns 333 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 Yasuo slightly faster item completions.
Utility
2.4Maokai
0.9Yasuo
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Yasuo, with 1.5 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
2,181Maokai
1,370Yasuo
Maokai vastly out-sustains Yasuo, healing and mitigating 811 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Yasuo is forced to recall.
