Trundle vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Trundle vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Trundle wins with a 66.7% win rate compared to Maokai's 33.3%, giving Trundle a 33.3 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Maokai controls the early laning stage, but Trundle outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Maokai needs to press advantages before Trundle reaches their power spikes, while Trundle should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 1.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Trundle players can confidently pick into Maokai and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Maokai 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
717Trundle
638Maokai

Trundle generates a commanding 2,396 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Trundle consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game.

Utility
0.8Trundle
2.4Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Trundle, with 1.6 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
1,592Trundle
1,838Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Trundle, healing and mitigating 246 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Trundle is forced to recall.

Maokai dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 66.7% win rate — a 33.3 percentage point lead over Trundle. This lopsided early game means Maokai can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Trundle is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 100.0% win rate — 100.0 points above Maokai. Extended games heavily favor Trundle, 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 Trundle reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Trundle 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.
