Neeko vs Maokai

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use disguise and brush control to create uncertain engage angles and deny Maokai sapling vision.
Focus on enabling your ADC's follow-up by landing (E) roots through minions.
Prioritize river vision to prevent (R) engage and secure objective setups.

Trading pattern

Fish for (E) roots through minions to set up your ADC's burst and follow-up.
Hold (R) for multi-target all-ins or counter-engage when Maokai commits (W) root.
Deny brush before Maokai stacks saplings to limit his poke and engage threat.

Danger windows

(W) root combined with enemy ADC follow-up creates high all-in threat.
Brush saplings deny vision and force your ADC to face-check or lose lane space.
(R) engage is strongest in river choke points; avoid clustering there without vision.

Early game

Contest level 2 carefully, only if your ADC can follow (W)+(Q) engage.
Deny Maokai brush control early to reduce sapling poke and disrupt his engage angles.
Use wave pressure to create safe windows for roaming or vision setup around dragon.

Power spikes

Level 2: (W)+(Q) combo enables strong engage; track this to avoid unsafe trades.
Level 6: Your (R) offers strong all-in and teamfight control; use it with ADC follow-up.
First AP item: Increases your burst and poke, allowing more confident pressure and poke windows.

Win conditions

Convert brush control and (E) root setups into ADC access denial and pick opportunities.
Use (R) windows to force favorable 2v2 fights or secure dragon vision and control.
Roam safely after wave crashes to pressure mid and return before your ADC becomes vulnerable.

Tip: For Neeko vs Maokai, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Support lane check.
