Shaco vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Shaco vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 14 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 64.3% win rate compared to Shaco's 35.7%, giving Maokai a 28.6 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Maokai controls the early laning stage, but Shaco outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Maokai needs to press advantages before Shaco reaches their power spikes, while Shaco should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Maokai leads by 1,375 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai has a strong advantage in this matchup. Shaco players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Maokai 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.

Farming
1.4Shaco

Shaco 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
740Shaco
512Maokai
Shaco heavily out-damages Maokai by 228 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 Shaco's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
8,776Shaco
8,910Maokai
Shaco and Maokai generate nearly equal gold per game, with just a 134 gold difference. Neither champion has a clear economic advantage, so gold leads will depend on individual play quality, kill participation, and objective contributions.
Utility
1.1Shaco

Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Shaco, with 1.1 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
500Shaco
1,875Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Shaco, healing and mitigating 1,375 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Shaco is forced to recall.

Maokai late game win rateMaokai28.6%

Maokai dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 100.0% win rate — a 100.0 percentage point lead over Shaco. This lopsided early game means Maokai can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Shaco is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 71.4% win rate — 42.9 points above Maokai. Extended games heavily favor Shaco, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Maokai must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Shaco reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Shaco survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
