Who Wins
- Pre-6 you're slightly behind due to Maokai's Q disrupting your W combo and Miss Fortune's range advantage in poke trades.
- Post-6 you still struggle since your R engage puts you in range of Miss Fortune's R while Maokai can Q you out of your combo.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W-Q combo when Miss Fortune is isolated from Maokai, then E back to Aphelios for safety and sustain.
- Your E shield timing is crucial to block Miss Fortune's Q bounce damage, and you can use R to force her out of position for Aphelios follow-up.
Wave Control/Roaming
- Roam frequently since this lane matchup is difficult and your mobility gives you strong gank potential mid and jungle.
- Best roam timings are when waves are pushed, after successful backs, or when your R is available for guaranteed engage potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't W into both enemies unless you have a clear escape plan since Maokai's Q will knock you away from your E target.
- Avoid using R in range of Miss Fortune's R channel unless you can guarantee a quick kill, since she can turn the teamfight with proper positioning.
