Is balance team aware that Morgana is a mage and she's supposed to build AP?

Dark Binding (Q) AP ratio lowered from 90% to 75% ??? Black Shield (E) AP ratio lowered from 70% to 40% ??? These absurd nerfs prove Riot's not even playing their own game. [sg-lux-2]

They pigeon hole her on support role like idiots. Morgana was made to be a mid lane mage. She got taken support by pro and then remained there because her ratio and damage was to weak to be on par with other mid laner. Now that she is even, they nerf her ratio and legit force her back support where a bunch of Morg mains are angry because none of them liked to be support.. this is plain uncalled for.

I would assume they are aware she's supposed to but AP, or they wouldn't hit her AP ratios.

Or they think she builds Redemption in 89% of all games, so she doesn't need it.......as a support....

Redemption is not even a core item on Morg...

Might be so, but Op.gg/Champion.GG and Lolalytics = Morg support takes it every game.

Doesn't this push her further out of mid lane if her scaling damage and defense are both taken down so hard

Is this reasonable?

I'm a Morg player. I don't condone the Q nerf (this one anyways - Duration or Cooldown would be better avenues), but I'm iffy on E, if in exchange I got more W damage. Personally, I think E's BASE shield needs reduced, not the AP scaling. It's factors of 1 increase per level......

Honestly I don't really know. I know that knocking 90 damage off a champion's damage at 600 AP is pretty big but you don't pick Morg mid for her utility so I feel like it's not changing anything significant about her.

That black shield change is huge though. With her getting MS for running at you though I'm assuming they wanted to create some level of counterplay and ability to remove her shield.

Both of them together + waveclear nerfs last patch probably aren't reasonable but I don't know a single midlaner that likes playing vs. Morg.

It's ridiculous. Her late game is already shit with her win rate dropping like a rock after 30 min. Watch these nerfs destroy her. They need to go after her base damage instead and make her W Ground people so it does more than just afk wave clear.

There is no reason to nerf Morgana's midlane with a Q nerf and an E nerf. I have no idea what Riot is smoking. Nerf her W's damage if you're going to nerf anything to reduce the amount of waveclear she can get for free, and don't hit it too hard. That's the most Riot should even CONSIDER.
