Who counters Maokai and who Maokai beats

Maokai is durable and his crowd control is scary, but his range is short and his engage is committal. Twisted Advance is a brief dash that has to actually reach you to root, so a lane that out ranges him and chips him down before he can close keeps him on the back foot. He has no big burst of his own and leans on his team to convert the roots, so peel, shields, and disengage blunt everything he sets up. His ultimate telegraphs from a long way off, which gives mobile or alert enemies time to step out of the root path. When you pick Maokai, you are betting you can land your engage and survive the fight, so respect ranged poke supports and stronger lockdown tanks who beat you to the punch.
