Morgana Quality of Life

Paladin 0f Life··2 votes·799 views

So as the title says. Is Riot thinking about reworking Morgana? She is in a weird spot. She doesnt NEED a rework. But some minor changes to ult, E and W could dramatically improve her play rate and a much needed element she is lacking... FUN(omg an opinon ahh scary). Sure you just chill in lane shield and throw out solid Qs. But just a slow on W or increased dmg output by shielded target. And I know im not that good but seriously her ult is really hard to use both parts until you get item 3157 . Would be cool to see her passive change onto her ult so she has increased spell vamp while her ult is active. Maybe change passive to something more meaningful(cough grievous wounds cough). These reasons are not awful. She is not broke or unfair. But just a few simple changes and good lord a visual update would be amazing. And I would love to play her more as a control mage mid and even top, should meaningful changes come. Any word from Riot on this?

morgana doesn't need quality of like with what is essentially a 7.5 snare that isn't hard to get in her kit. sorry and on top of that she doesn't belong mid and especially top LOL

A decent Morgana can lane ok against practically anybody mid, and she's not half bad with teleport top either, depending on the matchup. Her biggest weakness is she needs her team's help later in the game to actually nab the win, though don't underestimate her damage. She's a good roamer too.

as somebody who has like an 80% winrate with her playing her exclusively at mid, I agree... she is pretty boring to play. She's OP af, but boring. It's like oh wow I just 360 no scoped somebody to death with Q and W so sick broooo

I use her ult fine without item 3157 . With item 3107 becoming a must buy for most (all imo) supports, item 3157 isn't purchased until later anyway if i even do, therefore I learned to use the ult without.

But yea, I could use a change to her W at least and maybe the ult.

There are just so many missed opportunities though you know? I just feel like zhyonna is a must buy on her when it would be better if she just didnt require it for a "safe" ult in a teamfight.

or yet build battle mage and spell shield yourself and run at them :P

Or, hear me out, maybe, just maybe, Riot could FIX the unmitigated train wreck that is the hitbox of her Q?

I thought they did a while back, is it still kind of messed up? idk if I'm just used to it, but I find it fair to dodge.

Overall I'd say Morgana is in a balanced and fine spot overall. Her playrate doesn't need to be high; Morgana is a safe pick but right now the meta is orientated more towards either high AP supports (Zyra, Brand, Velkoz, Malzahar) that can be difficult for Morgana or utility supports (Karma, Lulu, Nami) that can be difficult match ups as well. I imagine as certain supports like Nautilus, Alistar, Braum come back in popularity, Morgana will too. She has roughly a 7.50% playrate which I don't think is bad; if they buff her kit now she'll likely need to be nerfed later since her kit is very fragile - it can become unbalanced very, very easily.

If anything I'm sad that Morgana didn't have the W buff go through that gave it grievous wounds to champions below 35% health (which I think would have been like Varus' E, where it's as long as they're on the tormented soil). I think it would have given her just a little bit of an advantage against heal supports since she struggles pretty hard against them. I think her current passive is fine and it's nice to give her some sustain, though; as the game goes on her passive's benefits can become more and more obvious. It's not obnoxious like Vladimir/Swain levels of sustain but IMO more comparable to Ahri.

Yeah I totally agree. It would just be nice to see such a cool champ have some variance in her play... especially mid. I love control mages and seeing a slow on her W. lol that would be a dream come true. Having a little nuance to her W or E could help her in the long run as they will likely end up doing something eventually with all of these over complex champions they keep turning out. And she has to have a visual coming in a year or two. Just curious as to when?

i have lvl 7 on her on 2 accounts,, and she is VERY boring to play mid... but still very exciting to play as support. i honestly dont think she needs a buff though.. although that buff i saw giving her W grievous wounds with the target under 33% would be a good buff if you were to buff her... i still don't think she needs it though...
