Mordekaiser vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Mordekaiser vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 16 recent matches analyzed, Mordekaiser wins with a 68.8% win rate compared to Maokai's 31.3%, giving Mordekaiser a 37.5 percentage point advantage. Mordekaiser 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.

Damage
1,144Mordekaiser
694Maokai
Mordekaiser heavily out-damages Maokai by 449 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 Mordekaiser's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,013Mordekaiser
9,633Maokai
Mordekaiser generates a commanding 3,380 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Mordekaiser consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.6Mordekaiser
2.5Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Mordekaiser, with 1.9 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
1,985Mordekaiser
1,906Maokai
Mordekaiser heals and mitigates 79 more damage per minute than Maokai, providing moderate extra durability. This sustain edge allows Mordekaiser to stay in lane longer between recalls and gradually win extended wars of attrition. Consider building early grievous wounds if playing Maokai.
