How to rebalance Morgana's Q ability/To Riot From @OneDunkMan

Dear Riot Games's balance team,

I'm having a lot of issues not tilting whatever champion I am playing facing Morgana especially playing slow champions like Darius or Mordekaiser or basically every champion in the game except Gangplank because of his integrated summoner 1 .

So I went on Twitter asking @RiotSupport to rebalance her 3 seconds snare... https://twitter.com/OneDunkMan/status/843175889072545792

And then the response came in... https://twitter.com/RiotSupport/status/843215943803310084

So here I am! I think I got pretty solid ideas to conpensate the CC reduction of the snare. (I'm gonna put them all in the same place and you pick whatever you like :p)

-First up, we don't want to be overexcessive with the nerfs and only remove 0.5 seconds of of it. (Live values) 2 / 2.25 / 2.5 / 2.75 / 3 (Modified values) 1.5 / 1.75 / 2 / 2.25 / 2.5

-Second on the agenda, we need to conpensate for the nerf so its not too harsh, but how? The point of picking ![Morgana](https://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/16.11.1/img/champion/Morgana.png) is especially the Black shield against heavy CC teams, but also the catch potencial in the late game with the long lasting bind. So what I think would be a good counterpart of the bind beeing shorter would be to increase the missile speed of the bind since its one of the slowest ability in the game. (Live value) SPEED: 1200 (Modified value) SPEED: 1300

                                                         "From now on I'll just put some balance changes and you may pick from the list if you will."

-Reduce binding cooldown very minimaly so number wise it would be kind of a buff.* (Live value) 11 (Modified values) 10

-Add a minimal slow on Tormented Soil so the bind is easier to hit. (Live value) None (Modified value) 15%

-Reduce Tormented Soil mana cost because 130 mana is a ton. (Live value) 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130 MANA (Modified value) 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120 MANA

-Reduce the the time needed to proc the second part of the ultimate.** (Live value) 3 seconds (Modified value) 2.5 seconds

That will conclude my post on how to rebalance Morgana, feel free to let me know how you consider my post and thank you for your attention on my problems. -PresidentOfGamer, @OneDunkMan

(UPDATE) Riot saw this and gave me a positive response! https://twitter.com/RiotSupport/status/843307733583585282

"Modified values have been changed since they didn't make sense."*

"New change!"**

Perhaps you are forgetting two things.

Firstly, Morganas W Requires Q and R to deal full duration damage, otherwise people simply walk out.

Secondly, Morganas R all but requires a Q hit to actually proc the second hit and stun. In this that is League of Mobility, with Morgana having about 0, the champs most commonly played will just dash out of her Tether if you haven't rooted them there to have to stay.

Your proposed changes address neither of these things, and Tenacity already gives a window of escape from Morganas combo on a Mobility champ, if you choose to invest in it. Immobile champs are up a hill against all CC champions. That is their weakness and they are usually compensated for it by being exceptionally strong from a dueling standpoint.

In closing, Riot has already nerfed Morgana repeatedly. The only option left is a mini or full rework. Even relatively minor nerfs to her Q duration would break her in her current state.

It does make sense but maybe you need to do something on the black shield and the ultimate more like a mini-rework.

I think most of these ideas are good but needs more polishing...
