@Riot: Could we look at some Morgana Nerfs/Changes?

It's probably the salt talking when I ask for nerfs, but I do feel that at least some changes could be in order.

I understand Morg/Support mains hate to hear people complaining about their champ/role because they aren't real hard carries, but Morgana still feels like shit to play against.

The most obvious grievance is the potential 4.5 seconds of hard CC single target, and 1.5s hard CC teamwide preceded by a 3s slow.

The issue I have with Morg's kit is that it's unreasonable to be able to dodge every Q she throws out, especially when it can be on a 6-ish second cooldown lategame. Even with not a single point of AP, at high levels she can hit you for 700+ damage without her ultimate and with no counterplay. You get hit by Q, she's ramming those triple digits right up your tight squishy arse.

Not to mention the utility that comes with that unavoidable damage, because her team gets to join in and pound you for the 9 years that you can't move.

Factor in the ulti, and if you get clipped by a Q, you're taking 1k damage, with no chance to avoid a single point of it, and with not a single opportunity for counterplay. I don't think any other champion has a similar ability that, when landed, will allow you to land the entirety of their kit without counterplay. Some champions have abilities that make it easier, like Fizz, but at least then you can flash to try and avoid some of his damage.

A very similar example of this is Lux, however it feels a bit less terrible to take her combo because it's so fast. The CC is shorter, and if she can't oneshot you then you are free to move more quickly. I'm fine with Morgana being able to hold me down and fuck my asshole if she has the damage to do so. If she's ahead enough to kill me and lands a skill, I don't mind that she's able to follow up so easily. But when she's BEHIND, and can't even kill me, but the CC is so ridiculously long that her team in botlane river can walk to baron pit to pick up a kill on a silver platter before I can move again... that grinds my gears.

A sort-of fix I would like to see would be the ability to use movement abilities or spells while rooted. This would allow things like Vi Q or flash to be used, but even after reaching the end of their travel distance the root would remain and they wouldn't be able to walk, so it wouldn't be entirely like a cleanse. Maybe that's too much with all of the movement in the game at the moment, you tell me I guess.

Tl;Dr: I'm a salty kid who gets beat by Morgana a lot. Feels like shit to play against. Send help.

How to deal with morg:

Step 1: Walk to the left Step 2: Don't CC an obvious spell shield while its still up Step 3: Kill her before ult, walk away during zhonyas. Step 4: ??? Step 5: http://67.media.tumblr.com/a4ce17979a6e946fe349403711c8f27f/tumblr_mhsekhwkp01s5nlk4o4_250.gif

It's not that it's hard to play against her. I have no problem dodging 95+% of her Q's. The issue I have is that it's unreasonable to expect to dodge all of them, and the CC is ridiculously long for only landing one skillshot. It just feels terrible.

i play her quite often, but if you are keeping an eye on her, u can move before it hits you....unless you know shes hiding in a bush...and combos you for a group gang bang. xD but you can still see it coming, just have to be alert when shes around...and us Morgana players sometimes like to stick to the middle of the frey. harder for you to pick us out. :P and someone else or a mini gets hit, and then we capture you. :D but really tho, make sure you have you're boots on...im assuming since you are going against her you might be a tank/or adc maybe. then, MR, and boots/move speed are ur friend. eh...also....if ur in a map and you dont see a Morgana, and u know shes there, and u have an Ashe , and she fires and Morgana is not at base. shes hiding. waiting for you....in a bush...possibly with a Rengar or Shyvana . just waiting....to scare the ever loving jeebus out of you. she is the "evil" sister after all. :D
