Warwick vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Warwick vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Warwick wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Maokai's 25.0%, giving Warwick a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Warwick 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.

Warwick 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.

Warwick wins the laning phase against Maokai in League of Legends

Farming
1.9Warwick
1.7Maokai
Warwick 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
708Warwick
580Maokai
Warwick heavily out-damages Maokai by 128 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 Warwick's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
12,096Warwick
9,511Maokai
Warwick generates a commanding 2,584 more gold per game than Maokai. This substantial economic advantage means Warwick consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Maokai should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
1.1Warwick
2.1Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Warwick, with 1.0 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. Warwick should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,870Warwick
1,760Maokai
Warwick heals and mitigates 110 more damage per minute than Maokai, providing moderate extra durability. This sustain edge allows Warwick to stay in lane longer between recalls and gradually win extended wars of attrition. Consider building early grievous wounds if playing Maokai.
