Maokai winsZilean wins

From the enemy's side — Zilean's page lists Maokai among its hardest matchups.
Stronger start — Maokai's level-1 stats beat Zilean's — press from wave one.

How to play it

Press early
Maokai is stronger in the first levels — shove and deny farm.
Cut the healing
Zilean sustains — Searing Crown on your first back.
Magic resistance
Zilean deals magic damage — a matching defensive item as your 2nd or 3rd item.
Ward the jungle
You out-trade Zilean; the only danger is their jungler — ward before pressing.

When you are in danger

Respect the spike
Zilean gets far more dangerous with the ultimate — dial back after level 5.
