If you're good at landing bubbles, they last awhile (albeit not as long as morg snares), and suspension can't be cleansed (being a form of knockup), so they can have comparable hard cc in that regard. Nami has a heal which doubles as decent poke, so she can sustain better than morg. Nami can give an AA steriod that also slows too. Via nami's passive, she can help speed people up to help them escape/chase. As a result, her entire kit is useful for support stuff.

Meanwhile morg has her snares which last forever, and black shield which can be quite useful to keep cc off an important carry, as well as aoe slows/stuns via her ult, but tormented soil is not inherently supporty, nor is her passive (spellvamp).

They both have their place depending on the skill sets of those using them, and I wouldn't consider one just a better version of the other (there are very few champs I would feel that way about), so theres always gonna be situations where one might be more useful than the other. I am rank 7 nami (as of about an hour ago) and barely play morg though, so I'm probably a bit biased.

Nami's bubble can be cleansed. It is actually coded as a stun, despite the floating making it look like a knockup.

can't yasou ult off nami bubbles tho? Is that because it just has additional displacement added to the stun?

Yes. It still has a displacement effect so Yasuo can still ult it. You are just slowly moving up as you are stunned, but you can cleanse it at any time to clear the stun and immediately drop back to the ground and move around again. How high you float up is entirely dependent on how long you are stunned by the bubble (so affected by tenacity).

morgana has better "catch" skill, dark binding having a higher range and a more forgiving hitbox. also a better early game damage output, for snowballing a lane, and if your composition depends on landing that 1 important CC, she can "nope" it.

nami has a better overall team fight power, especially once fights last longer: she will have multiple rotations of her kit, multiple iterations of AOE CC, multiple heals and multiple damage buffs. Also if both sides are committed to fighting, nami has outright more/better CC.

morgana, i feel, is better when you need to initiate. is better when your lane is early game bully / snowball. is better if you have a player who must not be CCed (kat, yasuo, yi, volibear).

if either composition is tanky, if you want full team fights and you already have an initiator, if you kite and move alot in fights, nami will outscale morgana.
