Towards a healthier Morgana

Heyo,

So I'm sure you're all excited grinding for the new victorious skin (unless you're already Gold+, in which case, congratulations!). I know a lot of people, myself included, really hate playing vs. Morgana, and I want to offer some potential changes that I think are more in line with her as a champion.

So the biggest part about her kit is her root, it's one of the most iconic parts about her, which is why many said this aspect of her kit is least likely to change. However, for mid lane Morgana, the root is largely in place to hold the enemy in place so they can take more damage from tormented soil, a spell which isn't seen as much of a threat for the most part.

What I propose, therefore, is a shift in damage of dark binding into tormented soil. Currently, dark binding has one of the highest base stats and AP scalings of any single basic ability (300 base + 90%AP). Reducing the damage would retain the iconic root, while making the ability less punishing. Instead, increasing the damage of tormented soil will make the ability more rewarding to use. Currently, tormented soil doesn't pose much of a threat; many times I'll see professional ADCs stand on the spell without much care simply because it doesn't deal enough damage. I believe this change would give Morgana more interesting zoning potential, similar to Ziggs minefield where the enemy has to decide whether to walk through and take more significant damage or be zoned out. Additionally, this would help Morgana in other lanes, since (I believe) tormented soil is maxed first, giving her greater damage potential when she does get a catch.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Thanks
