Morgana's potential abuse of Redemption.

ReshiKillim··1 votes·2,010 views

Redemption Total Cost: 2100 G Recipe: [Forbidden Idol + Crystalline Bracer + 650 G] Stats: +400 Health +75% Base Health Regen +75% Base Mana Regen +10% Cooldown Reduction UNIQUE Passive: +10 Heal and Shield Power UNIQUE Active: Target an area within 5500 range. After 2.5 seconds, call down a beam of light to heal allies for 130 (+20 per level of target) Health, burn enemy champions for 10% of their maximum Health as true damage and deal 250 true damage to enemy minions (120 second cooldown).

Can be used while dead.

That's what is currently on the PBE, and it looks pretty harmless. But let's not ignore the fact that Morgana has the most potential to abuse this item out of all champions in the game. She can CC lock someone for 4.5 seconds of continuous CC if the player knows how to manage it.

Morgana's Dark Binding alone is already a 3 second CC at max level, and Redemption boosts her black shield and allows her to self heal, heal allies, and chunk enemies all at the same time. However, it ALSO provides her with tankiness and regen which allows her to better sustain. It even creates the possibility where you'll lose that 10% max HP unavoidably even if Morgana is dies due to the duration of Dark Binding.

Morgana only needs to be level 5 and know how to time it well to be able to Redemption-lock you.

Unless you have tenacity or QSS, which people tend to not have in the early game, this combination could become seriously abusive in lane.

Because 10% max HP in true damage that can be casted from death is harmless.

the 250 damage vs minions/ monsters would make for interesting baron/dragon steals if people are REALLY bad at smiting

False. The way I see it as a tier 5 Morgana player, I could just cast it halfway through my Ult OR after using a rank 5 Q. Not both because I hardly think using my ult just to hit the Redemption active is a smart play.

Only support Morganna would max her binding over tormented soil and get this item meaning there is no way she would have the gold by level 5 and people would in fact have tenacity by the time she has the gold to buy it. I doubt it will abused honestly since you'd still want Zhonyas, warding item, and frost queen first as 400 health on a support rushing into a 5 man team means very little.

umm as a lvl 7 mastery morg support

the item path goes this start item 3303 item 2009 3x item 3340 first back item 3098 item 2043 2nd back item 1001 /item 1028 into item 2049 item 3341 item 2043 item 3158 into item 3092 item 3364 item 3157 item 2045

THEN i can pick my next item. which is usually item 3001 , and THEN i might get the new item..

So because she scales well with the item, she is abusing it?
