Can someone explain the reasoning behind it lasting 3 seconds? Because I really can not think of a good reason as to why it lasts that long.
The only thing I reason I can come up with is that her w would be terrible in fights if the enemy wasn't forced to stand still for that long. If that is the reason, imo it would be better to reduce the snare time and the soil duration while increasing the damage per tick.
Martyrofsand1 votesBefore Morgana was a support she was a mid lane with a lot of her damage tied to her W, IE the pool that people can avoid very easily by just walking away. By using her ult and dropping the pool right as it stunned and then chaining her binding she could keep people in it for the full duration and deal her total damage.
That was kinda what her kit was originally. Now she is a support used for the duration of her binding and the CC immunity of Black Shield and the pool only serves as an easy way to proc frost queens claim.
UberAffe1 voteseven so tying most of her potential into a single skillshot and making it so devastating seems like a bad design choice and balance choice
Martyrofsand1 votesNever commented on if it was good or bad, you just asked for a reason why it lasted so long and that is it. Its why Rammus taunt used to be that long, so he could make good use of defensive ball curl, and fiddle fear lasted so long, to keep ppl in range for drain. It seems the reasons Morg has kept hers where the other two have been reduced is because hers is a skillshot and its only a root as oppose to completely removing the ability to act from the character like the others hers just limits movement.
