and it kinda remind me how it's more cancerous than orianna

impossible to kill in lane, push faster than any mage, has sustain, never goes oom, has black shield snare and high base ms, literally the safest mid ever in teamfight, ult+black shield has no counterplay

i really hope she doesn't become meta mid again

Rank 3 is enough actually

Morgana ult is easy to get out of for most midlaners, her Q is one of the slowest if not the slowest snare in game, her shield has a disadvantage in the fact that a good burst mage can burst right through it. Morgana is in no way OP.

tell that to immobile mages

Your entire post implies that Morg mid is op. You didn't flat out say it but you implied it.

immobile mages are uncommon in mid lane for most of the upper elos.

yeah, it's cancerous to play against, i suggest you try to play against it once

there is a reason riot pushed her out of the midlane with 20 nerfs

syndra ori taliyah are top3 pick midlane LUL

Chibi Bronzlife2 votes

Ori should never really be threatened by Morg. Syndra is a skill matchup against morg, the one with more patience wins. Bait the spellshield then syndra can use full rotation and melt morg. Taliyah is in no way an immobile mage if you play her right.

ACENOX1 votes

taliyah is an immobile mage no matter how you play her a champion will remain immobile if he can't be mobile

all of taliyah's mobility is out of combat which means in fight with morgana she can't escape her ult it's like saying tf is mobile because of his 3 min cd ult

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

Hmmm, perhaps don't get in range of ult to begin with? Taliyah has deceptively long range. That way you can utilize her passive to shift positioning because you're you know avoiding Morgana's abilities. Taliyah has mobility, it's just a matter of how you play her, funny it's almost like I just said that in the post you replied to.

Best princess EU1 votes

ja man taliyah and malz are so immobile

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

Taliyah immobile? What world do you live in? She has a mobility passive and an ult that can take her clear across the map...

Best princess EU2 votes

how the fuck are you going to use her passive to get out of morgana ult WHEN ITS OUT OF COMBAT? ult stops if you take damage

seriously, might as well stopping arguing here, mages are all immobile, the only mobile mage is ahri

KaRniVooL132 votes

Ekko Diana Fizz Kassadin Katarina Kennen Leblanc

you are completely right none of these champs have mobility

Ahristocats1 votes

those are not mages, but assassins

i think a mage main knows what he's talking about, but i guess i will stop arguing too

KaRniVooL131 votes

do they not do ap damage?

do they not build ap items ?

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

Kassidin and leblanc are actually also mages, just because they are assasins does not negate that they can also be mages. Ryze is another mobile mage, unless you consider ulting to w/e the fk you want to go not mobility.

Hitting enemies disables your passive.

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

yes I know, that's called combat, hence why I said if you play right Taliyah is mobile. Taliyah is a skill based mage in the fact that you're either really good at her or really bad. There is no inbetween, really good Taliyahs know when to weave some damage in and when not to.

MooooooooreDakka1 votes

All I'm going to say is that staying out of combat for five seconds and then following a wall isn't exactly a huge advantage in terms of positioning in a fight compared to other mages. Range would be an advantage (like most other mages) but unless Morgana just starts running at you and your only concern is not getting within ult range of her I don't think rock surfing would be useful most of the time.

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

It's more about proper use of her passive tbh, Taliyah ult is more for cutting off her escape route if the opportunity arises to go aggressive.

MooooooooreDakka1 votes

I never mentioned her ult, my point is that her passive is kind of impractical to use during a fight because you need to not be doing any damage for 5 seconds or getting hit by anything. Also, even if you aren't doing anything to contribute to the fight to keep the passive up you still need to follow a wall meaning that it won't even be useful in a lot of situations for running away from Morgana. Do you even play Taliyah? I'm just wondering because at least from my experience you're pretty much never in a positon to use your passive during a fight aside from when you're chasing someone down or running away when the fight's lost.

omfg I just played against this bs today, and it's not new to me I see it every once in a while so I'm not just hating on it all suddenly because of lcs. Sure she doesn't have that high kill potential a lot of assassins and burst mages have, but this is just bad to play against. I mean it's not the worst thing out there and imo a lot of mids have way better teamfighting than her but I still hate her laning phase.

good luck killing a morgana mid with an ap champion. :P

KaRniVooL131 votes

wouldnt counter play be ad burst damage ?

black shield dont protect her from physical damage

Ahristocats2 votes

if she's a support sure, if she's mid with ap it's hard

Chibi Bronzlife1 votes

wrong, even ad burst champions that commonly play mid are usually mobile enough to avoid her cc.

Ahristocats2 votes

yeah, good luck bursting the spellvamp mage with an incredible amount of hp and zhonya while being able to zhonya during ult

xD

Chibi Bronzlife2 votes

ummm, it comes down to strategy and intelligent decision making. It is possible to deal with morg. You just can't see the options.

She's actually a decent pick against Zed though, since his ult is extremely predictable in where it places him. She can Q him as he comes out then counter with her own ult/W. Or just walk away if she's gonna lose the all-in.

Morgana countered by Annie Katarina Malzahar Akali Anivia Gangplank Ahri Viktor Zilean

but what you fail to see is why the morg picked worked... the enemy had a rumble top ( AP ) leblanc mid (morg naturally counters ) and kalista which morgs ult and black shield would counter kalista ...

Ahristocats2 votes

morgana doesn't get countered by anyone, she's the safest pick in league with sustain range waveclear cc good base stats while bringing massive power in teamfight, no one can force morgana out of the lane, no one can simply all in a morgana

unless she's weak she won't be ignored

KaRniVooL131 votes

wrong

Best princess EU2 votes

no, he is right actually

KaRniVooL131 votes

yet she has losing win rates all below 50% vs those champs i listed

Best princess EU1 votes

how the fuck does ahri counters morgana? never fought morgana as an ahri main but i play since season 1 and when morgana was meta mid ahri was never picked against her

where did you find those counters?

KaRniVooL131 votes

well one would say due to ahris mobility for one... her true damage ... her charm ... and if ahri throws out Q sure morg could use E but it would bust the shield and the return Q would do damage /true damage... then when E is on CD you could charm ...

that is basically 90% of the board post...

everything is slanted and has bias towards the topic

no one is objective

FAKE NEWS!!! PROPAGANDA !!

I think everyone would prefer if Morg was meta as opposed to Ori. At least you'd be able to farm somewhat in peace without the threat of a ball hovering next to your wave.

He even went the "I'm a pansy" build :( At least I build protobelt with ghost and mess some fools up.
