Maokai vs Yone Matchup Summary

The Maokai vs Yone matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Yone wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Maokai's 33.3%, giving Yone a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Yone controls the early laning stage, but Maokai outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Yone 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 crowd control, where Maokai leads by 2.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Yone 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 Yone 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.

Damage
712Maokai
1,023Yone

Utility
3.0Maokai

Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Yone, with 2.0 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.

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.
