Riot you don't seem to understand why morgana is an annoyingly strong support

Nunya Bezwacks··8 votes·860 views

When people bitch about morgana they don't say "this early game damage on tormented soil is so broken" people complain about her Q doing a ton of damage on top of holding you in place for so long you get hit by the leave buster let me put this into perspective so people understand i know what im talking about none of you will read it and i'll just get down voted to oblivion but better to try and fail...

I use to be a stickler for the Mr Piccolo method where all you have to do is "DOOOODGE" but look at the ability for a second Her Q at the strongest point....mid-late game or Level 9+ the BASE DAMAGE is 300 and unless they changed it when i wasn't looking it still has 90% scaling....wouldn't be a huge problem except at the start of season 4 riot made changes which made real supports (utility) worthless and replaced them with second mid laners and tanks which means despite being in support role morgana is gonna get MAYBE 2 support items (the starting item and item 2049) so if you get hit by it late game its going to hurt....A LOT...

level 9 its mana cost is 90 at a point when morgana has around 700+ mana and quite a bit of mana regen thats not gonna hurt her

at level 9 the cooldown is 11 seconds seems reasonable...until she builds cdr if she has specific masteries she STARTS with 10% if she gets any of these three items item 3165 item 3174 item 3158 she would have between 35-40% which would drop the cooldown to 7.15 or 6.6 seconds that means you have to dodge death every 6 seconds and since I know you people will say bullshit like "just attack her while its down" hahaha black shield....and to make it even better her Q range is 1175 so getting to her in 6 seconds is rather hard while she is far out of your range.

and the BIGGEST reason why her Q is the biggest problem is at level 9 her q lasts 3 seconds after it hits.... in a game like this where champions can destroy you in less then 1 second leaving you wondering what happened 3 seconds is an EXTREMELY long time if its end game and everyone is level 18 she will most likely have 40% cooldown and 1300+ mana if you get hit by ONE it could easily be the entire game all because you weren't Neo and couldn't dodge everything

now go on and downvote this so you guys can keep your freelow morgana

There's no point in convincing Riot Balance team to deal the change on her main ability.

Zed

Has free costless pokes & deals shitton of damage with ult. Better nerf dat attack speed.


Annie

Pretty much has excessive Point & Click abilities and an insta-stun ult. Better nerf dat basic attack range.


Katarina

Basically everything. Better play around with her passive that doesn't change shit.

They are always a fan of not touching something that will affect LCS plays.

I disagree. Its reletively easy to dodge. Or keep minions between you and morg. Lane phase anyways. In teamfights squishies shouldnt be on frontline, and you should always be aware of where morg is. Your going to get caught sometimes, but its not an oppressive op skill.

If we went and nerfed every skill that was good, we'd have a shitty game.

you need to learn to read, 3 seconds is enough time to keep tanks out of the fight or kill them and if their team follows up it leads to a 5 man ult... yes it really is oppressive learn the game kid

3 whole seconds!? Tanks don't build Tenacity!?@!

tenacity on a morgana Q drops it to just over 2 seconds still a long time to be stuck in a place where you cant move after it does 700 damage

I missed the announcement where Riot said they are doing this to Morg to nerf her support viability. I'd like the link to that so I can read up on it plz.

Oh lol silly me your right they are probably nerfing her for the lane she never shows up in....which one was that ....every lane other then bot

Deep Terror Nami2 votes

Nice link. Good read. You've proven to me that this hurts her as a Support as was Riot's intent.

Well she is a main mage with mage dmg and abilities. If people like her as a support fine. But should Riot say "ok she's a support now, let's get rid of that damage." and make her unusable a mid lane mage?

Nunya Bezwacks1 votes

yeah because that was totally the point not the 3 second snare its the damage that i said was the biggest problem

That is exactly word for word what they said about Zyra like two weeks after she was released.

Support Morgana is trash unless her ADC has superior wave clear so you can push the opponent under turret the way solo lane Morgana pushes everyone under turret.

oh look someone's opinion with nothing to back it up but his word on it....better believe that

What? I play a LOT of support Morgana. His opinion isn't opinion its a fact. There are a few ADC's I'll play morg with, but not many. She only works well with Graves for his high burst potential; Jinx because she lays down chompers, and Kalista because she can throw you in for ults. I favor thresh. Also, morg Q isn't doing 700 to any tank late game with just a zhonyas, and good support morgs don't build damage past zhonyas and frost queens.

Nunya Bezwacks1 votes

no thats opinion you having the same doesn't mean shit kid and every support builds pure damage.

http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Morgana - Scroll the list, They build Frost Queen's Claim, and Zhonyas. That is it, the only full damage morgs on this list are mid picks. Some of the morgs don't even bother building zhonya's and rush straight to locket. These are the top elo players, and what they build. This is what I see in gold + ques as well, I've never seen a full damage support aside from a brand who was trolling his team because he didn't get mid, and he was 0/4 in 8 minutes.

The nerf is for solo lane Morg, support morg is in a good spot. They are weakening her ability to oppressively push in the early levels.
