Yasuo vs Maokai Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Maokai matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 8 recent matches analyzed, Maokai wins with a 75.0% win rate compared to Yasuo's 25.0%, giving Maokai a 50.0 percentage point advantage. Maokai dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Yasuo players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Maokai leads by 1.5s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Maokai has a strong advantage in this matchup. Yasuo 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.

Damage
802Yasuo
589Maokai
Yasuo heavily out-damages Maokai by 213 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 Yasuo's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
10,593Yasuo
10,260Maokai
Yasuo earns 333 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 Yasuo slightly faster item completions.
Utility
0.9Yasuo
2.4Maokai
Maokai brings significantly more crowd control than Yasuo, with 1.5 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. Yasuo should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
1,370Yasuo
2,181Maokai
Maokai vastly out-sustains Yasuo, healing and mitigating 811 more damage per minute. This massive durability gap means Maokai can absorb significant punishment and remain in lane while Yasuo is forced to recall. Building grievous wounds early is essential for Yasuo, and focusing on burst trade patterns rather than sustained fights is critical.
