Maokai's problem is the inability to escape a situation if he decides to press W, so Phase Rush comes to the rescue.

Win Conditions
- Maokai can heal himself with his Passive. Don't panic in fights and auto attack whenever you can.
- Try to group up with your team as soon as possible. Maokai is an excellent choice for larger skirmishes.
- In a team fight, Maokai is better at protecting his team then engaging the fight. To compensate for his lack of mobility, try to create a situation where the enemy engages on you.
Weak Against
- Ivern: Maokai relies on a stable jungle environment to scale into a tanky late-game champion, and Ivern's ability to disrupt this farming process can put Maokai at a disadvantage.
- Sylas: Sylas's mobility and damage output can also be problematic for Maokai in duels and skirmishes.
- Karthus: Maokai's tankiness doesn't provide much protection against Karthus's magic damage, and Karthus can farm safely and scale well even if Maokai tries to disrupt his jungle.
Strong Against
- Rengar: Maokai's crowd control can disrupt Rengar's combos and protect his teammates.
- Poppy: Maokai's tankiness and crowd control can mitigate Poppy's engage potential, making it challenging for Poppy to lock down key targets and control teamfights.
- Elise: Maokai's tanky nature and crowd control abilities can limit Elise's effectiveness in ganking and skirmishing.

Game Strategy
- Early Game: In the early game as Maokai Jungle, focus on farming your jungle and looking for opportunities to gank lanes with your crowd control abilities. Your goal is to provide your team with a strong foundation for the mid and late game.
- Mid Game: During the mid game, transition into a tanky initiator. Use your Twisted Advance (W) to catch enemies out of position and engage team fights, while also providing crowd control and peeling for your carries.
- Late Game: In the late game, your role is to be a frontline tank and provide crowd control for your team. Use your Nature's Grasp (R) to control objectives and zone enemies in team fights, ensuring your carries can deal damage safely. Prioritize vision control and map awareness to secure objectives and maintain map control.
