Morgana/Kayle Rework Idea

Basai·7/5/2017, 5:20:37 PM·3 votes·824 views

So, Morgana and Kayle are fairly old champions. Most of the older champions in the roster have fairly straight forward gameplay options. For example, Xin Zhao runs at you and autos you to death, Master Yi runs at you and autos you to death, Morgana runs at you and presses Q E then R, and Kayle runs at you and autos you to death, with going invulnerable every once in a while. So I thought about what 2 of those champions would look like if they were reworked, specifically Morgana and Kayle.

So because of their lore, Morgana and Kayle should be pretty similar, but have enough differences due to the idea that Kayle is the righteous sister, and Morgana is the fallen sister. So lets start with Morgana:

Morgana Passive - Enemies damaged by Morgana are "Cursed", lowering Magic Resist as it is applied. Increased against enemy Kayle.

Q - The same skillshot that it is now, but for a much shorter duration and acts as a channel interrupt like Viktor's R.

W - Her W can be very similar to how it is now, but instead of a circle, she flaps her wings and creates a path of "tormented soil" forward in front of her, increasing in cone size due to level of the ability

E - Her E is what makes her a very valuable support, being able to protect allies from magic damage and CC. But what if we can give her that same role while at the same time making her lore as this fallen angel more apparent. Okay, but how? So when she casts her E, she occupies the same space as an ally, almost as an angel protecting her ally. Then both champions become immune to CC and the protected champion gains a magic damage shield. The caveat being, a percentage magic damage absorbed by the shield is taken by Morgana and if the shield gets destroyed, she gets forced out. A final thing to be added to the E is that the first attempt of crowd control on the protected champion causes the attacking champion to become snared for a short amount of time so not all of her CC power is in a 5 hour long Q.

R - The same as it is now, but with an additional caveat, and that is although it can be channeled during her E, if she gets ejected from her ally, then the ult channel gets cancelled.

And now to the sister

Kayle Passive - Taking damage from champions give Kayle tenacity for a short duration. Increased if damaged by enemy Morgana.

Q - If E is toggled on she fires an arrow that reduces targets MR by a certain amount. If e is toggled off, she stabs her target, reducing armor by a certain amount.

W - Changed to a small charge forward, that heals in an AOE at the end of it. And since she is still a fighter and not a full marksman, the charge is longer when directed towards champions, ally or enemy.

E - Kayle equips a fiery bow that has the same effect that it has now, except the ability is now a toggle, and every auto with it now drains mana, but the mana cost is decreased as the level of the ability is increased.

R - Her ult is similar to her sister's E, except since Kayle has not "fallen into darkness" in terms of lore, her ability is "more powerful" causing her ally and herself to become invulnerable.

This is obviously only my perspective on the 2 sisters, and since I personally don't play either champion a whole lot it may take things away from the champions that dedicated players might love. But, I don't work for Riot and this is only my theory crafted ideas so it isn't really something to worry about. There also aren't any specific numbers because this is just an overview of what I imagine it could be like. I also realize that this could get no attention at all, and be pushed to the bottom of the boards in a snap, but I just wanted to share a few ideas. If you do have criticisms or questions, if you leave a comment, it would be greatly appreciate!

I really like this (as someone who plays a casual Kayle from time to time) and I like the idea of them playing off each other but I see two problems with that.

  1. Kayle and Morgana have passives that are REALLY good with their kit. I like your changes and think they are very intuitive, but changing Kayle passive will kill the champion.

  2. Kayle is a Top laner who can be flexed into the mid lane. Morgana is a Support who can be flexed into Mid lane. If they were to tie these two together, I would want more change that would make their match up happen much more frequently. Make Kayle more Supporty or able to be played ADC, or make her scaling so that she's best mid lane, and change morgana's numbers so its better for her to be played mid.

Idk. I'm a bronze nobody but I do like what you have done. Good work. I tip my hat to you.
