Maokai the Twisted Treant

Maokai is a rageful, towering treant who fights the unnatural horrors of the Shadow Isles. He was twisted into a force of vengeance after a magical cataclysm destroyed his home, surviving undeath only through the Waters of Life infused within his heartwood. Once a peaceful nature spirit, Maokai now furiously battles to banish the scourge of unlife from the Shadow Isles and restore his home to its former beauty.

Maokai Tips

MetaBot Tips
  • Maokai secures less objectives than most champions. Your value may be better oriented towards helping other champions secure objectives.
  • Maokai has a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
  • Maokai has more base armor than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against attack damage type enemies.
  • Maokai has more base attack damage than most champions, so they should be trading autos aggressively in lane.
  • Maokai excells at supporting other champions, and should prioritize helping carrying type champions again kills and snowball.

Maokai Builds

Playing Maokai

  • Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
  • Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
  • Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.

Playing Against Maokai

  • Saplings will chase the first enemy that gets too close, but detonate after a few seconds or if they collide with other enemies. Be especially careful around brush sapling, as they are much more dange
  • The cooldown on Maokai's self healing is heavily gated on how many time you hit him with spells. Careful about wasting abilities on him.
  • Maokai will avoid taking damage while he's using Twisted Advance, so don't waste your spells.
