what in the fuck riot.... why do you keep nerfing morgana?
Give her some of her W damage back, lower her q root duration(or make it scale based on distance traveled) and revert her shield nerf
Literally what the fuck is morgana doing at any level that makes her deserve these nerfs?!?!?!?
It's quite simple, really. She blocks playmaker supports such as Thresh or Pyke from hooking then deleting someone in tandem with their ADC and can deny assassins on mid by playing safe and farming with W. And since only way Riot wants you to win the game is "do more damage than the opposing team and do it faster than them" champions who enable playing defensively can't be allowed to thrive.
Last patch support Morgana had an absolutely insane win rate, ban rate and pick rate, so a nerf to her supportive capabilities seems in order. At least maybe now you can actually select your champion.
As a main mid Morgana I'm fine with this shield nerf realy, most champions can bust it anyway. But I realy need the W to go back the way it was. It's not fun to stay in lane forever just to get farm so I've gone back to some of my other fav mid champs and they sure can clear the lane alot faster. And the W wasn't even a 100% kill on creeps. Now it's about 60% on rank 3 W so you'r realy forcing me to stay in lane! She's one of the slowest champions in lol with 330 base movement speed ( there are alot of other champs with this sure but 80% of them have dash of some sort)
No because morgana is basically the best bot lane champ ever created. With W low mana cost and good damage she can just pop W every few seconds to proc her items and electrocute if she's feeling annoying and get free gold, then walk point blank and Q you til next patch, oh you picked blitz or pyke or naut or thresh or fucking anyone fun. Spellshield counters is all bitch.
Morgana was kind of obnoxious before the rework and consistantly sat at 30% banrate with a good winrate.
She was reworked and buffed which made her more popular and obnoxious.
She had a huge winrate, banrate, playrate (presence)
There are no reason as to why to NOT nerf her.
It stinks that they nerfed her Bshield but that is the most frustrating thing in her kit, maybe tied with her bind.
If this does happen to hurt her I'm sure they'll buff her pool since that's the only reasonable thing they can buff.
Morgana is not strong enough to warrant these nerfs, she is a midlaner and there is no hope for her to hold her own against the likes of Yasuo, Akali, and Katarinas to name a few after this nerf, and after any of the subsequent nerfs Riot has planned for her abilities and damage. This legitimately makes me so sad, it's like Riot does a wonderful visual rework and then completely annihilates my favourite champion.
She supposedly has a 53% winrate (most likely in midlane compared to a 51% winrate as supp against champions that better deal with her limited support kit) this is only 3% greater than 50%. So Morgana at least loses 47% of her games, and wins 53% of them. I strongly disagree with the idea that Morgana counters almost all support champions that's just false. There are multiple strategies and methods of dealing with her kit. She has a shield that can temporarily prevent hooks, however the cooldown of those hooks is lower than her shield, and so it's not an unrealistic defence, plus as a support you can only defend one person out of 2. She has a root for her Q which is actually easily dodged or avoided by staying behind minion waves, it's nothing like Lux's q which can go through 2 minions, and Neeko's which can go through multiple minions, as a morgana player I personally struggle against tanks like Alistair, Galio, and Blitzcrank because even if I hit my CC I do negligible damage to their health and neither can an adc in pursuit of the kill, nefing Morgana's damage will only ruin her in support situations, and completely ruin her midlane. The assumption that ban rate equates to strength is false, just because many people ban a champion doesn't mean that they are very strong, it could just be because the majority of casual players do not want to deal with Morgana's CC, and AOE W and she was created as a midlaner so her abilities naturally do damage, but compared to other champions Morgana does a comparatively small amount of damage, like for example Brand's full combo.
This Nerf is ridiculous, and completely ruins Morgana's viability as a midlaner, and as a desirable support. There are supports such as Sona with higher win rates, and it's not like she's being nerfed into the ground. I unfortunately may stop playing the game after this.
