Morgana Rework

Not really a rework per se, but could she just get a new W? That skill is literally the most useless ability in the game now, ever since her damage got shifted around. It doesn't provide any utility, the range isn't fantastic, the aoe isn't particularly huge, and it doesn't even do damage. And now PBE has nerfs for it lined up? What exactly is this skill supposed to do?

Like the justification for the initial change was that you were gonna bind them first anyways, which fine, makes sense, but since you only really see her as a support... the MR shred was definitely more useful for your team. Also, even just as a concept, it's supposed to do more damage to low hp targets. So it's supposed to be an aoe dot execute? Only... it doesn't do that. If someone at 10% hp can just stand in it and tank it out no problem, then it really isn't doing that very well, now is it? I mean, what is Tormented Soil supposed to do, exactly? Annoy your enemies to death?

Honestly Binding does WAY more damage than tormented soil. The only single justification for leveling that skill is because it's aoe, and therefore is better against creep waves. Is there a reason Morgana isn't allowed to be a competitive mid laner? You can't tell me it's a lack of interaction, because Ziggs and Xerath are allowed to exist. Guess what? Mages farm. All mages waveclear and farm until they have the items they need to wipe teams. Sorry if it doesn't make for an exciting LCS matchup, but guess what? Assassins exist and could do their job well enough if you hadn't also nerfed them into the dirt.

I'm just saying, if I'm a full AP fully built Morgana, I shouldn't have a skill that just tickles enemies without offering any sort of utility. If you wanna keep it as an execute mechanic, fine I'm actually ok with that. But make it actually kill things if it's not going to offer anything else.

Its her main farming tool, I would rather they don't get rid of it.

Oh I most definitely agree. In fact I would prefer they actually make it a useful skill in teamfights, allowing you to zone with it and allow her to control the pace of teamfights with her kit. Mostly for Mid Lane Morgana, since W isn't a big part of support morg's kit. Or really any part of support morg's kit, other than getting the gold procs with it.

Thing is, of all the things, they are looking at Nerfing it on PBE. I cannot even believe such a thing makes the list of top 100 things that this game needs done immediately, and yet there it is. What could be the possible rationale for such a change? Mid lane morgana is so unviable currently that it's kind of comical, seeing as how she was designed as a mage, and not a support. I mean, it can work, but a lot of things can work. Doesn't make them good.

Yeah it would be nice if they made it more useful.
