How to win lane as Yuumi against Maokai · 46.62% win rate over 948 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Maokai | Maokai’s level-1 presence with W and Q knockback out-threatens a CC-less Yuumi. |
| Level 2 | Maokai | At level 2 his W dash-root chunks your ADC and you have no peel to answer. |
| Level 3 | Maokai | By level 3 sapling zoning shuts down your poke while he sustains freely. |
| Levels 4-5 | Maokai | Levels 4-5 his root-into-Q combos pick whenever your partner steps up. |
| Level 6 | Maokai | Level 6 Nature’s Grasp adds a lane-wide root your R can’t disengage. |
| First item | Maokai | First item, his tank durability and saplings still beat your all-in. |
| Two+ items | Maokai | Two items deep he’s an unkillable engage that deletes your positioning. |
Maokai owns levels 1-2: his W is a point-and-click root once he’s in range, and you have zero CC to peel it — the best you offer is an E shield and heal that rarely cover a full engage. Sit behind the caster minions, only poke Q when his W is on cooldown, and never let your ADC walk up into dash range.
