Morgana vs Maokai Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Two very different profiles meet in the Support lane: Morgana the support/mage hybrid, Maokai the tank/support hybrid. Over 429 ranked games on patch 16.13.1, Morgana closes out 54.8% of them. Being 4.8 points clear of the 50% line makes Maokai a favourable draw for Morgana.
Both Morgana and Maokai threaten mainly magic damage, so one resistance covers the lane. Level-one bases: Morgana 630 HP / 25 armour / 30 MR, Maokai 665 / 35 / 32. The 10-armour edge belongs to Maokai. Level 18 armour lands at 96 for Morgana and 123 for Maokai. Base attack damage is 56 against 64, so Maokai wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
The 450-versus-125 attack range gap means Morgana can contest the wave from outside Maokai’s reach. That forces Maokai to play around cooldowns and pathing rather than raw stats.
Morgana threatens Soul Shackles; Maokai counters through Twisted Advance. Ultimates decide the rest — Soul Shackles versus Nature’s Grasp.
No hand-editing here — the Morgana figures come straight from ranked play.
