One of these champions is not usually played in this lane — treat the verdict as a rough guide.
- The table favors you — Jhin is listed as a counter to Maokai in this lane.

How to play it
- Poke and back off
Use your range: hit, then step back before Maokai reaches you. Never stand where they can.
- Magic resistance
Maokai deals magic damage — Maw of Malmortius as your 2nd or 3rd item.
- Long fights
Maokai is a tank — build sustained damage and keep hitting; burst won't do it.
