Morgana's Q Hitbox is still broken: Unacceptable.

CloakAndGrenade··8 votes·2,185 views

Morgana received a full visual update two patches ago. That means her entire character model was redone. All of her spells received new particle effects.

So can anyone explain to me why Morgana's Q hitbox is functionally nearly twice the size of the visual model of her skillshot? There is absolutely no reason why Dark Binding should not have a visual indicator that represents the actual impact zone. Nearly every single game that contains a Morgana, whether it is me playing her or someone else, I'm noticing that people are being rooted that were nearly a full minions breadth away from were the effect of the skillshot was. I'm not lagging, I cruise at a solid 20ms ping and upwards of 60fps during most games. The skillshot is still broken. In fact, anecdotally, it seems to have gotten worse.

There is no excuse for this. She was just updated. Every skin, effect, voice line, all completely different. This should have been an easy on-the-way fix.

You must not know all that much about the coding process.

They didn't touch the functional part of her Q in the re-code. Only the part with its aesthetics. In short, they changed the look, but the Q its self was never fundamentally tampered with in any way. Which is why this is still a thing.

If they are going through the trouble to update a champion they should bug fix the damn thing. Why is this a controversial statement lol.

Idk about controversial as much. I was more just trying to state how they went about it (or rather, how they avoided the technical part like the plague)

No idea why you're being downvote bombed. Probably because this is a post about Morgana being having an issue instead of being a "Fuck Yasuo" post. xD

They likely didn’t “fix” it because they didn’t think it was much of a problem in the first place. As a morg player Q is pretty damn hard to hit if the enemy sees it coming and/or is skilled enough to dodge it by pathing away or by using a spell such as a spell shield or a dash, so I think this “bug” is helpful in the way that it helps you land your q more times.

And morg q is a root so you can use a QSS to instantly stop it, build tenacity or use a spell shield. Morg Q is very easily countered, so the reason people are downvoting you is because they don’t think it is a problem at all.

QSS has a 90 second CD. Even if Morg doesn't level her Q at all or build any CDR, it's got a 16 second CD. That's not a counter. Not to mention QSS only builds into a single item that's only situationally useful for ADC's and fighters, an item which isn't that good to begin with. I find it kind of laughable that you brought it up. Skarner ult? Malz ult? yes. Morgana Q? No. Spellshield, sure. Sivir is a counter for a reason.

Tenacity? Alright for tanks and tanks alone that will opt into both tenacity runs and rush merc treads after using both summoners spells leaves them at 65% capped tenacity (since the stat has diminishing returns like Armor and MR do). This means her 3-second root is around 1.25 seconds. This still makes it one of the longest roots in the game.

But this is all irrelevant. Is Morg Q broken (in terms of balance, stat wise)? No. A good Morgana can time the movement of her enemies, especially when using terrain. It's strong when it lands so It should require skill to land. The fact that you are advocating for a bug because you can't land Morg Q's boggles my mind. If A champion is only successful because her hitbox cheats, that's not a good thing. Morg would still be successful without the game cheating for her.

Because that's what it is.

Morganas Q is fine right now, its nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. Thresh and blitzcrank have much, much worse visuals to boxes on their hooks. What are you playing that makes you so salty? Zac? Cho gath? a champion whose hit box is (significantly) bigger than their model?

Other champions having the same problem is not an argument. "Everything else is broken so it's ok for this to be broken."' What kind of logic is that?

Your bias is showing. I dont think morganas Q has a bad hit box compared to the visuals right now, considering that its as easy to miss as a braum Q. Are you salty because you think you walked out of it a couple of times, or because an edge clipped you?
Are you just salty because you want to moan?

You're not actually contributing to anything, all you're doing is saying the same thing over and over again

I agree completely

I love how you make a perfectly acceptable and correct statement and people just downvote you to hell because they simply assume you died to morgana last game. You're right though. I believe it was intentional, as Morgana was in no way overperforming and they didn't want to 'nerf' her with the visual rework. IMO they should've still made it actually representative of the hitbox though.

I agree, and it's like this for many champs still. Completely messes me up and makes me not want to play that game with that champ/s
