Because most good players know how to dodge a skillshot?

Imperial Japan1 votes

You don't have to land the skill shot to win lane. Her w tends to be great wave clear and harass so even if you're against "most good players" you can harass them down and no matter how bad you are, you could probably land one snare to kill them. Even if not you'll have accumulated lots of farm and you can roam to get other lanes ahead.

No consistent dps in teamfights weak late game

Imperial Japan1 votes

She can take people out of teamfights though. Her Q and W could either kill a squishy or make them unable to stay and fight, her q to zone the enemies key targets, and her Ult could be used to displace the enemy team by making them disperse unless they stay to all get snared. She doesn't need consistent damage as she has an ADC as well. As for her late game she still has options to deal with it and she is able to finish games very early

Yellow teeth and outdated clothing.

Haha, okay then

Because it's boring as fuck

Imperial Japan1 votes

Still hilarious to chunk people like she does and she's really good other than being "boring". Although you might not be too bored if you focused on other aspects of playing her like positioning, etc

Even though it works, people aren't open to things that aren't meta.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Fair point, it went out of meta a few seasons ago people really don't care for what's "meta" even if they're at an elo where the meta doesn't impact them at all

i use Morgana to counterpick some people like Leblanc who are bad at CSing under tower and so i can stay stupid safe and farm with my W.

but for the most part she makes for a really uninteresting laning phase.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Gotcha

Morganna is fine, as long as you have a plan for dealing with jungle ganks. Morg always has the lane pushed, so expect ganks.

Morganna is a situational pick i use for low wave clear champs.

I wonder how Morganna vs Yorick would go?

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

her lane is easy to stall because her basic attack is pretty slow. why would her lane have to be pushed? just dont farm with W.

Sohleks1 votes

More like Morg always has the lane cleared, so no reason to be ganked through her shield and snare :P

Imperial Japan1 votes

Yeah

Imperial Japan1 votes

Her E usually is enough for pretty much all ganks. I usually just go morg against any AP laners as I can just rush Banner and watch them suffer

Boring, its why I don't like playing Annie

Imperial Japan1 votes

It's still effective and she may not be mechanically intensive but it's halirious just chunking down an enemy of 75%-100% of there health with just one q W combo

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

she's not an assassin. that's the entire reason. people who play mid play mid because they want to dash around getting instant kills and blaming others for their lack of resource management when they die. it's a proven fact that a majority of mid players cant manage their resources effectively. if yi wasnt mana based players would be putting him mid too.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Haha, pretty funny and you have some truth in there too 😅

BLACK REALM GOD1 votes

at least you got that it was satire. i wonder how many downvotes i've gotten vs upvotes from people who either are offended or didnt get the joke.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Haha

she´s save, but ultimatly she can´t carry later on as her dmg really drops of in 5v5 fights - so she´s more often used as support.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Which is why you can just finish the game off quickly. As morganna her laning phase is amazing and even if you don't have a really good laning phase you still can roam and get your teammates ahead. Once this is done you can just group as 5 and win before ultra late game. (Especially since people even in plat+ still makes mistakes and sometimes don't think of stalling the game out)

Rıots Bad Client1 votes

Because after laneing phase csing with her is a nightmare.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Not really, if your teammates allow you to just W you can clear the caster minions without a single auto and you can clear frontline minions fairly easily

Risk of Fate1 votes

She's great at dominating lane and that's about it. She suffers the same issue Galio has in that you kind of have to try to be in the middle of the enemy team to get an effective ult off. More often than not people just walk right out of it which goes to waste while you're in zhonya's thinking you'll catch at least one. Her team fights could be better, but it's not reliable late game, maybe only catching people out if you get your Dark Binding off first.

Sohleks1 votes

She's really good at roaming bot and top with her middle game dmg and 5 seconds of CC while being completely non interactive in the mid lane.

Just rush good shoes. Can still 100-0 people with ignite kappa

Imperial Japan1 votes

My q did 800~ damage with only 4 1/2 items 😂 (Including boots)

Imperial Japan1 votes

I usually end off games before they turn super late. I usually dominate lane, roam to have my other lanes get fed, group, then win. Also if you have another teammate with an Ult like amumu or kennen your Ult becomes super easy to pull off. I also find that In lower Elos people don't respect your Ult at all and I usually can catch 2-3 people in one go. If the enemy is actually organized I sometimes go for a one man Ult to kill that carry instead though

i hate when people go morg mid. fucking pool pushed to your tower all game cant all in her cause of the shield. most time i just take cleanse so she also has no kill pressure. but she can still push you in an roam bot/top.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Yeah, I'm loving it 😂 I can actually carry with her where I wouldn't be able to as Orianna or Yasuo

Skia Asteri1 votes

She has been consistently top 5-15 highest win rate for mid lane for all of season 6 and nearly all of season 5 (except for a brief period when she got a damage nerf and people were readjusting). Most of the league community cannot recognize something strong unless they loss 10+ games to it in a single day.

Imperial Japan1 votes

Ooh, that's cool! I didn't know that

inhumanlol1 votes

I have tried it in bots and it is easy except that in normal gank and roam is expected from mid. She can get MS item (like item 3285 ) but by the time she gets it, ganks don't occur anymore, it is team fight time. If I lose mid lane, then I gotta change build to support ( cheap items) and be just support instead of punishing/killing anyone.

Imperial Japan1 votes

I usually just play her vs AP champs such as Lux so I can rush Banner of Command. This helps keep my lane pushed and gets me first turret even if I can't roam. If I can roam well then I just get all other lanes ahead and if I can't well I'll win turret and start a lead there. I also see some people take tp to help them roam

inhumanlol1 votes

On a side note, why not item 3001 as first item? It is cheaper and provides a mix of everything she needs. CDR, MR, Magic Pen and decent AP.

Imperial Japan1 votes

I have to look into the item when I get home but I'll tell you what I know as of now. 1. The banner minion is immune to magic damage as to make the Lux's life hell 2. Morganas base DMg is high enough to not need abyssal 3. The pushing of the banner can help with when you roam and will gain you gold without doing anything 4. The MR is higher so Lux's burst will mean even less 5. The enemy probably won't build Mr so soon so it's not too big of a problem (just set runes to magic pen if you really want) 6. Yolo, why not? The Lux will end up raging
