Morgana buff

Morgana needs a serious buff. Her game impact is simply too small.

Let me preface this by saying I'm platinum so I'm not exactly super high elo, but still I'm pretty significantly above average.

I recently made a new account. I wanted to main morgana up to plat/diamond. I've found that Morgana is 100% incapable of carrying a game no matter how well you do.

You see in silver your teammates will be 100% worthless. There's no point in blackshielding vaynes for example when you're doing double her damage as morgana support by the end of the game. That is not hyperbole. I OUT DAMAGE MY ADC 100% OF THE GAMES I PLAY AS MORGANA SUPPORT. Which is disgustingly sad.

So even if you play well, black shield your carries, die almost never, ward the most in the game, buy the most control wards in the game, have 60% kill participation or more, out damage everyone else on your team by 10s of thousands of damage, and land clutch Qs all the time it will not carry the game. You will still need other competent people on your team.

This is not true for other champions. Many other champions can easily carry in silver. Until today when I met some profoundly stupid silver players I had a 100% win rate as Eve jungle. Sadly, I don't want to play Eve and nunu jungle to absolutely hyper carry people in silver.

If I play well in the majority of my games I expect to win the majority of my games. Except as I said my contribution as Morgana seems largely irrelevant in the scheme of the game.

Oh and don't bring up Morgana mid. Morgana mid basically promises the opposing mid a free farm unless your jungle spam ganks or the other mid is absolutely mindlessly brain dead. So at the end of the game if I have 300 cs and I'm 10/3/10 it isn't gonna matter if the enemy Zed has a similar score and farm because Zed is a much stronger carry. Let alone the fact he is an insanely good pick against Morgana. I'm just using him as an example. It could be that the enemy top lane did as well as you did. If that top lane is an Illoai or Fiora you will simply not carry the game.

So when I'm clearly out classing the people I'm playing with and against it makes no god damn sense why Morgana can't win. On my main account I have no problem doing the exact same things and steamrolling in gold/plat. The fact is that silvers are simply too worthless to be carried by Morgana. I mean after all, what's the point in giving Ashe all the farm in lane if a silver Ashe is going to have 67 cs by 30 minutes?

It really is a Morgana only problem. I can lose my lane as Veigar early and absolutely hyper carry the game late game regardless. I can lose my lane super hard as lux and still carry. i can gank like absolutely crazy and feed my teammates as Morgana and lose.

I feel that his highlights a problem in league of legends right now. In several areas:

1.) The burst assassin meta is insanely unbalanced. Ever since the release of Zed this game has been all about burst assassins and characters like Karthus are permanently retired. Why? Because in low Elo play (bronze-gold) you need to be able to instantly eliminate the enemy carry who went 15/0 in lane because your teammates are trash. This doesn't happen in plat very often. People don't hyper feed and if an enemy carry is doing well all 5 people on your team know to take him out.

2.) It encourages players to play the game wrong. There's no reason as a mid for me to go gank bot lane. By 10 minutes in my bot lane will probably have already died 8 times. If i gank I run the risk of just making the situation worse. So instead there is more incentive to dust my opposing mid hyper push in order to draw attention away from bot lane. Alternatively I could look to do dragon or herald. HOWEVER. In correct play you wouldn't need to completely throw away the bot lane. This makes players incredibly selfish.

Let's say there's a gank going on in the river. If I go help a teammate then there is a high probability that all four of my enemy teammates will show up and none of mine will because silvers are unaware that there is a map in the game. In fact I played a game earlier. I watched a Shyvana jungle spend 30 seconds in the river heading towards my bot lane. I pinged it. My lane never once looked at the map and they died. I was absolutely mind blown. Like why even put the map on the hud if you never look at it.

TLDR: Morgana needs a serious buff to be a competitive mid in a burst assassin meta and silvers are garbage.
