Maokai Build Guide
Maokai offers tank-style utility from the support slot, and the 16.13.1 numbers show a 50.73% winrate on just a 1.76% pickrate, which hints that he is underrated for how well he performs. He also works in the top lane, where his power curve plays out differently. His keystone is Aftershock, which hands him a burst of defensive stats once he lands a crowd control effect.
His build starts with Locket of the Iron Solari to shield the whole team, moves into Bandlepipes for extra utility and durability, and finishes with Thornmail to hurt enemies who keep auto-attacking him. He levels Q first, then W, then E, relying on Twisted Advance to start fights. The full item path, runes, and matchup counters follow below.
