Blitzcrank vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Use brush control and fog to threaten (Q) hooks that pull targets into ADC burst.
Deny Maokai's sapling brush control to limit his engage angles and vision.
Prioritize lane pressure to force Maokai's ADC away from safe positioning and reduce follow-up.

Trading pattern

Hold (Q) threat until minion cover thins or enemy escape cooldowns expire, then pull.
Deny Maokai brush control to prevent his (W) root engage and sapling vision.
Coordinate engage timing with ADC burst to punish Maokai when (W) is down.

Danger windows

Respect (W) root and (R) ultimate in brush and river choke points preventing safe ADC access.
Avoid face-checking sapling-controlled brush to prevent forced engages without ADC support.
Watch for enemy ADC follow-up immediately after Maokai lands (W) root or (R) engage.

Early game

Track level 2 race closely and contest wave only if ADC can follow (Q)+(E) all-in.
Hold brush and thin minion waves to open clean hook angles for ADC burst.
Use early wave crashes to create roam windows while ensuring ADC safety and river vision.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (Q)+(E) all-in threat; force enemy ADC away from safe positioning.
Level 3 adds (W) chase speed; leverage brush control to maximize hook follow-up.
Level 6 (R) silence boosts all-in and peel; engage only with confirmed ADC follow-up and vision control.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and hook picks into denied enemy ADC positioning and lane priority.
Roam safely after wave crashes to extend pressure and secure river vision for dragon setup.
Use (Q) picks and lane pressure to enable favorable 2v2 fights and objective control around dragon.
