It's been a long time since we've had a Morgana QQ thead

And frankly, it bothers me. She doesn't personally bother me and I have absolutely no issues with the champion, but to see such a formerly hated champion fall by the wayside is such a shame. So wth that in mind, allow me to rant about in typical QQ post fashion.

Let's start off with her passive shall we? 20% FREE spell vamp? Are you fucking kidding me Riot? Might as well just rename her passive "don't even bother harassing me bro."

Now onto her Dark Binding. This is easily the most broken ability in the game. A spammable, long ranged, 3 fucking second snare with a 90% AP ratio. But hell, it might as well last 1000 seconds because 3 seconds of hard CC is basically a death sentence at any point in the game. Not to mention that it has a hitbox the size of a fucking truck. And it's not like she even has to be good at hitting these. She can miss every Q the entire game and finally hit 1 that wins the game.

Next up is Tormented Soil. You'll recognize this as the skill that lets her autowin any push to lvl 2 in bot lane and instaclear waves in mid with 100% safety. You'll also notice is scales up to a 165% AP ratio. 165% AP on a basic ability. And an AOE one at that.

Now we get to the real reason Morg is so retarded, her black shield. This ability makes her target IMMUNE TO ALL CC FOR 5 SECONDS. I don't need to go into more detail into how retarded that is. Just know that she counters every support in bot lane because of this stupid ability.

And finally we reach the ult, Soul Shackles. First is does a massive chunk of damage that is completely unavoidable and then slows you by a fuckton to set up the stun which is basically a burn flash or die scenario. Oh, you don't have flash? Well then I guess you die. And don't get me started on flash ult initiations into Zhonyas later on in the game.

With all of that in mind, allow me to propose some balance changes similar to what these boards regularly propose for other champions. First off, nerf the binding CD to 2 seconds. 3 seconds is far too long for a hard CC in todays game. Second, cut the black shield amount in half and make any CC attached to an ability that breaks the shield be applied. Being able to simply counter every piece of CC by pressing a button is one of the dumbest ideas Riot has ever had, and Riot made Zed and Riven. And for the ult, remove the ability to Zhonyas and keep the tether. There needs to be some risk to Morgana trying to ult to start a fight and she should need to build tanky to play as an initiator. I'm sure that, if all of these changes were to go through, Morgana would remain a perfectly strong and viable champion and not just be a worthless piece of trash.
