Some thoughts on the inevitable Morgana update...
I'm aware Morgana will be updated alongside Kayle, I just can't say anything about Kayle since I never play her due to how boring she is for me.
But Morgana on the other hand, I can say for certain what I would want out of a rework for her. While of course I'm biased and love her current iteration (look it up on my profile I do play Morgana to some extent), I can definitely see change happening to her kit. Feel free to agree or disagree though, would love to spark discussion :).
My stance is that she should have a Warwick style modernization with a new passive and either a new ultimate or a modernized ultimate to go with her style.
Her current passive is just a bonus stat. Nothing to strategize for, nothing to incentivize builds or to give her an edge, just an excuse for her to have poor hp regen. I don't know exactly what I would replace it with but I would definitely support something more interactive for both parties.
Her Q, at least in my opinion, is her core aspect and trademark ability, like Jinx guns or Rammus armor. She may have to "fish for Qs" but a lot of champions are reliant on something for an engage or harass. Morgana is not an exception. This is probably one of the least likely things that will actually end up changing the most. Maybe the duration will change, maybe the projectile speed will, but it'll generally be the same AFK warning we all know and get hit by constantly love.
Her W is quite bland but currently it's the main difference between mid Morgana and support Morgana. If Riot gets rid of it, they'd have to compensate for mid lane. If Riot gets rid of the Q, they'd have to compensate for support. Currently, she presses W on a wave and gets her health back unless either the enemy pushes the wave away from the pool or she tanks minion aggro to keep it still.
Her E is possibly her other core ability as no matter what lane she is in, it'll be useful (assuming Morgana wasn't first picked and the entire enemy team isn't AD, CC-less champions). CC? Done. Magic damage? To anything not musically mute, annoyingly aquatic, or beautifully botanical, done. Anything else? Shit out of luck. If Riot were to change this it'd either be damage in general and become a generic shield or it'd CC for the entire duration. I doubt it'd get changed though.
Her R is shit with her kit, plain and simple. It's a fantastic ability on paper and quite an impressive engagement spell but it doesn't really scream "Morgana". Her basic abilities say "mage", but the ultimate says "tank". There are so many times where I've never pressed R once in a game because it was such a bad time or it was so unnecessarily disadvantageous that it was a pointless skill. I've even won by never leveling it. I say that if she were to have an update, get rid of this first and foremost. Boom. Successful update. 5/7.
tl;dr, I hate Morgana's current kit iteration and her passive and ult are shit. Her Q & E are probably here to stay. Yes I know Kayle is bundled with Morgana in terms of rework.
