How strong is Morgana really?

I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on my personal favorite, Morgana. I've been maining her since 2011 and truly love her play style. However, over the years I feel like she has become weaker and weaker. Some games I do very well with her, others I get completely destroyed and it's very frustrating to lose badly with my main.

So what's the deal: is Morgana going down hill in terms of tenacity, burst, ect.... or am I just off my game? For example I played singed a few days ago and used everything I had on him in perfect order and didn't even drop half his health. The real kicker is he had no magic resist! How is this possible? I remember back in the day people were getting pentas with morgana. Now you never see her bring the pain like she used to.

very viable, even as a midlaner. very easy to farm with in a lane, very good CC. Her AP ratio's are incredible as well. the only issue is that her damage spells are unreliable with so many mobile champions.

Her utility will pretty much always be decent.

Both mid and sup Morgs are pretty weak, about worst tier between traditional supports and mids. Mid Morgana is a mid to late game champ and generally can't kill an equal skilled player until 2 items, and while she can farm fairly safely, junglers with mobility can punish her very hard. Morg support is weak due to her Q being slow, fairly easy to kite and literally being land-or-die skill in many situations, in which even if you land it, it is not a gamechanger. Also, QSS etc makes you literally useless and Protobelt has reduced her usefulness even more.

League has become very mobile over the years, and seeing that Morg has subpar ult, nerfed to shit W and quite useless passive. makes her gameplay very feast-or-famine. If they can't dodge Q, you win. If they position properly, you're just boned.

I would say that at this moment, Zyra is Morg 2.0. Sure, she does not have spellshield, but autoaim plants with rylais counter a lot of mobility that 90% of champs currently have.

She's decent. Good against X, bad against Y.

She's a champion you use as a way to counter pick the enemy team, not a safe pick.

She's a support not really that much of a mage anymore. She's still a viable pick for midlane though. Pretty good DPS if you have liandry's on her...Seems like she would be good at kiting. Also great waveclear.

Wow, I've gotten way more response than I thought I would lol! Thanks for your time everyone.... you have given me a lot to think about and work on.

Morg mid is the best. Most games I'm virtually unkillable.

Just kind wish her early farming ability went up a bit.

ITS A SINGED! Did you have Liandrys? No? Then you do no damage to singed. Even if you do you don't do a lot.

Also how has anyone ever gotten multiple pentas with morg? Her kit is really bad for pentas.

Morg is really good, and will always be really good. Her Q is slow but fat, and roots for years. Her spell shield is HUGE. Her ult has been suffering hard from the mobility creep but you're guaranteed to land it on one guy when you snare them.

TBH I feel like she could use a small rework, mostly aimed at solo lane morg, which is SO frustrating. Give her a new W so you can nerf her Q and keep her kit intact but less braindead.

Morgana is a pretty versatile champion both as a support and a mid laner. She can play both roles really well and if you can land you skill shots she can make a lot of good plays.

I am in Gold I, but I am not a midlaner. I am a top laner main and support secondary. If I have to play mid in a ranked game I either pick Morgana or . I have a smurf account in low Gold and I will play mid more often on that account. When I get mid I typically play Morgana on that account, max pool, and press the tower. Most midlaners then have to stay in lane or I take the tower.

I am ungankable because of my black shield so I can overextend. It is amazing because people attempt to gank me all the time and fail a lot (I max black shield after pool). I take summoner 12 too, to keep returning to lane quicker and pressuring the tower.

I am pretty sure the strategy annoys the mid lane mains a lot and I have won games just simply by putting A LOT of pressure mid.

The problem is that against really good players that main mid (lower plat) this is not as effective. I actually stopped playing Morgana support simply because I am not good at landing bindings against upper elo players. I now play Sona or Leona when I support in ranked.

Morgana has some really good damage, but her damage does drop off the longer the game goes on and is dependent on her skill shots and her black shield to carry her team to victory.

I don't know what your rank is, but she is completely viable mid if you are good at landing your skillshot.

She is simple, safe, and has some burst. She cannot carry as easily, but is very reliable.

Everyone who tells you she is only viable as a support do not play a lot of mid Morgana that are good and she is a pretty low pick rate compared to other midlaners. You can play her (and win) pretty easily up until upper Gold.

She can probably bench 120 and squat 150.

I'm almost out of the snare she hit me with in season 2

depends if you are still low elo /low diamond while only playing morg you probably have no clue what you are doing to be honest. Esp with how long you have been playing if thats the case what you think on how to play morg is prob wrong along with how to play the game.

my experience tells me that opposing morgana players fall off in the mid game. my experience tells me that this is not a champion issue, but rather a player issue.

She's terrifying.

Most of her power comes from her shield, which allows a good player to ignore most CC effects in the game. No one else can do this, period. It makes her unique and powerful.

Her other abilities are good, and she can contribute, same thing with her ult - its solid and works, but her real power is that shield.

I'd love for them to tweak/nerf her shield so they could inject more power into the rest of her kit.

Her 3 seconds snare is sometimes stronger than a Blitz pull IMO

She's more of a tank mage like swain now then really bursty. Sure a q ult can murder most squishy targets but she's more a constant nuisance. My normal buil for morg is roa sorcs zhonyas abyssals liandries and either morello or athenes depending on what we need.
