While statistically Maokai is slightly stronger than Lulu as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. 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 Maokai deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Lulu deals primarily magic damage (77.45%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Maokai is superior vision control (ranked 29th among supports) (versus 31st for Lulu), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.1 versus 2.4) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Maokai player to maintain constant pressure on Lulu, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
