Stuck in the Mud!! Morgana Root Last Forever!

Since I am not a big person on these here boards, my forum post will probably go by without notice. Perhaps if i get some attention of one person we can start something.

Morgana's Root is the longest "stun" in the game currently, as a support that has played Morg in the support role, and faced her, I can attest to this claim. Maxing at 3 secs, this seems like eternity for any melee champ (since they cannot cast anything to get them out) and ranged champs alike ( since everyone is now out of AA range and some spells cannot be casted from this root). In some cases the root acts like a stun, immobilizing the champ and not allowing them to cast any retaliation abilities. Here is my proposition:

  • Nerf each level of root duration by .75 secs. so now the Q would look like 1.25/1.50/1.75/2.00/2.25 secs.
  • To be honest though, the root is combined with the ability of Tormented Soil. If the Tormented soil dmg/sec was increased or at least hit the champ more frequently, then the nerf to the root duration would be more accepted. For example, instead of being hurt every 1 sec, make it to where you are hurt every .75 secs.

This is just some food for thought. I believe that Morg in the support role is forcing the opposing support to buy a specific item to free anyone trapped in the root. I believe this is not what Riot's wishes are. Leave you opinion below and share the link with all of your friends. LET'S NERF MORGANA!!!!

imho her snare's duration comes at a major cost of damage capacity. It's relatively slow missile speed and wide hit-box makes it difficult to land and somewhat easy to dodge unless at short range, and easy to deny with minion blocking. By this same logic Blitz pull is just as detrimental, as it has a faster projectile speed and results in just as much cc if paired with the knock-up (2 secs of cc + displacement) as it is more often than not.

Can it be changed? Of course! I do feel the snare has too much of her kit's power budget invested and changing it around to make her somewhat bland playstyle more engaging would be a marvelous idea imo, but a straight nerf? Not so much.

Blitzcrank grabs are more dangerous than Morgana roots. Nami bubbles are arguably just as if not more dangerous than morgana roots.

Morgana doesn't have a stun, she has a root. All (non mobility) spells and abilities are usable during it. ADCs bot can autoattack while snared as morg's autoattack range is lower than any carry. (If she isn't autoattacking during the snare she is being wasteful.)

I've always found the bind to be one of the easier skill shots to hit in the game. Its so wide its very easy to place it where opponents either have to be or will get killed anyway if they dodge. It may be a little slow, but its so wide that anyone who is even slightly late noticing or reacting to it will not be able to dodge without some kind of blink.
