Morgana Mid Lane?

What's your opinion on Morgana Mid? I've been looking to expand my champ pool, and she seems like she'd be fun to play. I'm just wondering how she'd do mid, what items to get (Besides RoA and Zhonya's), and what the best matches would be.

Morgana has always been and still is a very strong and safe mid laner who specializes in pushing and punishing mispositions

Morgana does just fine mid against most match-ups. Black shield gives her a certain degree of safety which allows her to be picked into most things. She also has impressive scaling and base values on most abilities.

Her waveclear means that she's really punishing for a lot of people to play against, they either have to empty their mana pool clearing the wave or risk being bound and comboed under turret.

For build paths, something like this is pretty good:item 3020item 3027item 3165item 3157item 3089item 3135

The reason I included RoA is that in order to get close to people late-game it's best to have something increasing your health, but Morg uses Rylai's terribly, therefore RoA is your best option. Abyssal is also really great as a MR option and it's ridiculously cheap right now!

she doesn't really lose lane, but her damage output is quite lacking for a mid laner, shes just very good at clearing the wave.

It's always awesome to have a Morgana go Mid, unless the opponent's Mid is Yasuo or Zed (which is becoming more likely these days, which annoys me because I main Morg). You generally want to go item 1027 and item 2031 to start, but item 1056 is also good...sometimes. I don't really see the merit in going Doran's Ring anymore. Try to build item 2049/item 2045/item 2302 for sight, then switch your Trinket to item 3363 when possible. Building AP is almost always the way to go (sometimes having better defenses against hard-hitters or Assassins/Gankers works too), but if you see a teamfight coming item 3800 is excellent—plus the extra health and mana lets you stay out longer, meaning you can hold your lane better. The slow from it also comes in very handy in teamfights, especially when you have a Stunner like Braum, Sona or Bard, or a Slower like Tristana, Ashe, or Nasus. Try to build item 3152 as well. For Spells, you can forgo summoner 12 since your Turret distance is small. I like to go summoner 7/summoner 4 or summoner 7/summoner 14 if you have more confidence you can get fed. Morgana should Gank whenever possible. Always build/max her Q first, practice taking Last Hits on minions vs Bots to get as much gold as possible. Learn to know when to and not to use the Q/W combo, and know when to use your Ult to max efficiency. When your teammates need help, HELP THEM—not only are you the Mid-Laner, but as Morgana your Abilities can make the difference in most teamfights. Don't be too pushy in-lane, though; Morgana is not Tristana, and while the occasional few hits with minions is good you should pay more attention to potential Ganks and times to Gank. Try to build her Abilities and Masteries to take full advantage of her AP and Spellvamp, though having Tier 3 Gold-earning Seals doesn't hurt (each one gives .25 Gold per 10 seconds, so having all 9 makes 2.25 per 10 seconds—13.50 extra gold per minute can make the difference between getting that item you need. Having CDR Glyphs is also very handy, since you can use your Abilities more often. Hope this helps.

RoA , linandrys, sorc boots, rylai's, athene's, deathcap and replacement of rylais with luden's if need be.

While she was a strong mid laner, I just don't see her in it anymore. It's people like Yasuo, Zed, or other "broken" champs that are in the spotlight right now.
