Guide to Countering Braum as Maokai

Tips for Playing as Maokai against Braum

Maokai's passive makes him extremely durable against focus fire from spells - so long as he can still basic attack something.

Try looking for flanks or other situations where Nature's Grasp is unavoidable or takes enemies by surprise.

Saplings can be tossed into brush for empowered effect - but don't stack well.

Advice to Win Against Braum

Unbreakable gives Braum extremely strong directional defense, either wait until it is down or outposition the ability.

Braum must land Winter's Bite or a basic attack to start Concussive Blows. If you get marked, exit combat range before getting hit 3 more times to avoid the stun.

Braum's ultimate has a long cast time, use that extra time to dodge. Walking over the frozen ground left behind will slow you, position so that you don't need to cross it.
