Statistical Matchup Analysis

While Maokai remains a niche pick (1.6% pick rate, 36th place out of 51 Support champions), Milio dominates the current meta support with 8.7% popularity. Mastering this matchup is crucial for Maokai players - you'll face Milio in the majority of your games. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Unsealed Spellbook + Hextech Flashtraption combination (59.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Trailblazer, Locket of the Iron Solari, Thornmail, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 48.4% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Maokai's superior warding (0.92 wards/min, 22nd among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Maokai outputs more damage (433 vs 190/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Milio: leads in both matchup win rate (51.6%) and KDA (3.80 vs 2.50, 2nd vs 26th place). Maokai players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Milio as Maokai (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Maokai versus Milio 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 Maokai deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Milio deals primarily magic damage (80.56%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Maokai is superior vision control (ranked 22nd among supports) (versus 42nd for Milio), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas.

Key aspects of the Maokai Support versus Milio Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Maokai player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Milio player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

    Maokai tips:

    • Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.
    • Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.
    • Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.

    Playing Against Milio

    • Milio's movement abilities forecast their destination. Try to use this to your advantage.
    • Champions with crowd control that can be applied quickly excel against Milio.
    • Catching Milio with no allies around severely inhibits his mobility. Try to find him alone.
