Ideal
Kog'Maw
Maokai creates exactly the kind of fight Kog'Maw loves: slow, structured, frontal, and very hard to break through quickly. His control and objective presence give Kog'Maw enough time to fully abuse Bio-Arcane Barrage range. The duo excels on dragon and Baron setups where the enemy has to walk into already lost terrain.

Kindred
Maokai protects Kindred very well by providing a durable screen between her and direct threats. He delays enemy entries long enough for Kindred to maximize DPS or cast Lamb's Respite on favorable timing. This synergy is strong into compositions that want to force contact quickly.
