How to win lane as Maokai against Milio · 50.36% win rate over 1,372 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Maokai | You dominate level 1 — Milio has no CC or engage to contest your presence. |
| Level 2 | Maokai | At level 2 your Q+W all-in is unpeelable since Milio brings no lockdown. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | Level 3 still favors you as his single-target shields can't stop a committed W engage. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Through 4-5 you keep forcing shields and win every trade you initiate. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Your level-6 R root beats his R cleanse timing if you force it first. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even — his Cozy Campfire and ADC item finally match your poke. |
| Two+ items | Milio | By two-plus items Milio's range buff and stacked shields let his carry out-scale your engage. |
You own levels 1-2: Milio is a pure enchanter with zero lockdown, so the moment you hit 2 and have Q plus W, you can dash a target and Bramble-knock them with nothing he can do to peel. Zone him off CS and deny his ADC free farm because he can only shield reactively, not disengage your commit.
