Maokai Build Guide
Maokai brings tank utility to the support role, and current patch 16.13.1 numbers put him at 50.73% winrate against a low 1.76% pickrate, suggesting he is undervalued relative to his performance. He can also be played top lane for a different power curve. Aftershock is his keystone, granting a defensive burst after landing crowd control.
Locket of the Iron Solari opens his build for team-wide shielding, Bandlepipes follows for added utility and tankiness, and Thornmail closes it out to punish auto-attackers. Skill priority is Q, then W, then E, leaning on Twisted Advance for engage. The complete item path, runes, and counters are detailed below.
