How a strong Maokai player plays

  1. 1

    Q to interrupt your third Q

    Maokai holds his Q to interrupt your third Q; if you don't use Q, he won't either, forcing you to lose trades.

  2. 2

    W to dodge your ultimate

    Maokai uses W to dodge your R; he waits for you to cast R before using W, ensuring your ultimate misses.

  3. 3

    Bait tower dives for a counter-kill

    Maokai deliberately leaves openings to bait you into tower diving, then uses W to root you and lets the turret secure the kill.
