Lulu dominates the meta (2nd most popular, 11.8% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Maokai (1.6% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Lulu's higher tier rating, Maokai wins 51.3% of encounters. This suggests Maokai's kit specifically counters Lulu's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Summon Aery + Manaflow Band combination (67.0% win rate) plus optimal itemization Shurelya's Battlesong, Mikael's Blessing, Ardent Censer, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.7% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.
Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Lulu's superior warding (0.95 wards/min, 12th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Maokai leads in both matchup win rate (51.3%) and damage (480 vs 231/min). Lulu must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Lulu maintains better KDA (3.10, 6th place vs 30th for Maokai), but loses the matchup overall.

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Lulu versus Maokai matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Lulu deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Maokai deals primarily magic damage (80.03%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Lulu is superior vision control (ranked 12th among supports) (versus 20th for Maokai), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.4 versus 3.1) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Lulu player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Maokai player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
