Wukong vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Wukong vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Wukong wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Maokai's 40.0%, giving Wukong a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Wukong 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.

Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Maokai is favored during the laning phase against Wukong, winning 4 out of 5 key stat categories. Maokai holds advantages in farming, damage, crowd control and sustain, making them the stronger laner in this matchup.

Farming
2.1Wukong
2.4Maokai
Wukong and Maokai farm at nearly identical rates in this matchup, with only a 0.2 CS/min difference. Neither champion holds a meaningful farming advantage, so lane dominance will come from trading and jungle interaction rather than CS leads.
Damage
572Wukong
705Maokai
Maokai heavily out-damages Wukong by 133 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Wukong should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Maokai's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
11,103Wukong
10,803Maokai
Wukong earns 300 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 Wukong slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.6Wukong
2.5Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Wukong, 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. Wukong should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
994Wukong
1,682Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Wukong, healing and mitigating 687 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Wukong is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Wukong, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
