How to win lane as Maokai against Blitzcrank · 52.12% win rate over 990 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Blitzcrank's level-1 Rocket Grab is an instant pick threat on your ADC. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | His Power Fist spike at level 2 makes any forward step lethal. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | At level 3 you can bait and punish his grab cooldown, evening the trade. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | At 4-5 Sap Magic sustain offsets his poke, keeping it even. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Level 6 favours you as Nature's Grasp lets you engage on your terms. |
| First item | Blitzcrank | First item lets a fed Blitz combo still delete squishies from fog. |
| Two+ items | Maokai | With 2+ items your tankiness eats the hook and your W-root outlasts him. |
Levels 1-2 belong to Blitzcrank: one Rocket Grab on your ADC is a kill before your combo comes online, and his Power Fist spike at 2 makes any forward step lethal. Stand behind minions, use your body to block the hook lane, and don't let a whiffless Blitz dictate the lane.
