Maokai vs Thresh

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 8, 2026

Overview

Control side brush with saplings to deny Thresh's hook angles and enable ADC follow-up.
Use (W) root from fog to create engage windows when ADC can immediately capitalize.
Prioritize river vision and brush control to set up objective fights and limit Thresh's roam impact.

Trading pattern

Stack saplings in brush to zone enemy and threaten (W) root engages with ADC follow-up.
Hold (Q) knockback to keep Thresh and his ADC within your ADC's damage range.
Avoid engaging without ADC damage ready; respect (Q) hook and (E) cooldowns for peel.

Danger windows

Respect (Q) hook range from brush and fog; avoid stepping into obvious hook angles.
Beware of (W) lantern saves enabling enemy ADC to safely trade or escape.
Avoid clustering near river corridors when (R) is up to prevent root lockdown.

Early game

Win level 2 race by syncing (W)+(Q) with ADC for strong early engage threat.
Crash wave after securing brush control to create safe roam windows or force Thresh to lose lane priority.
Place saplings in side brush early to punish Thresh's hook attempts and protect ADC access.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks (W)+(Q) combo for strong engage; coordinate with ADC to punish Thresh's hook cooldown.
Level 3 sapling control increases brush dominance, enhancing poke and zone pressure.
Level 6 (R) enables impactful river or objective engages, especially in narrow corridors.

Win conditions

Convert brush control into denied enemy ADC positioning and forced recalls.
Use (R) to initiate or counter-engage around dragon, leveraging narrow terrain.
Roam after wave crashes with ADC safe to extend pressure mid and secure vision control.
