Morgana's Place in the Meta

Water of Eden··1 votes·252 views

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the past several weeks, Morgana's been making a special appearance on several occasions in bot lane. She's really good both with and against many adc's like Caitlyn andJinx . What I want to focus on is her interaction with other supports. She's clearly a counter to Leona because of her black shield on Leona's Zenith Blade + Q combo. Against Annie and Thresh you have a more skill matchup based on reflexes. For example, if you see Annie flash with her stun up, immediately black shielding your adc will allow them to get away. Another support that may give Morgana trouble is Alistar because he deals so much hard CC and you can't shield while in the air. Also, Ali's ult breaks him from Morg's ult. I could see a Lucian-Alistar bot lane giving a Morgana-Cait or Morgana-Jinx lane a lot of trouble. Any thoughts on how to deal with Morgana in the bot lane, both as an adc and as a support? I love playing both so any feedback would be appreciated. :)

I feel as though Morgana Q, E, and R are perfect for the support role. The only factor of her kit that I find to be questionable is her W as it dose not really lend itself to the support role other than poke. Perhaps if it had a slow or some other status effect.

That said I feel as though she is week as mid in the current meta as her ability to assassinate is rather low.

For me, the W seems great to get the proc on item 3303 . You just W under your opponents and BAM you have 15 gold. Or 30 if you've upgraded. It sounds like not a lot, but I've gone back to base several times with a good 1900 gold in my pocket, which i use for sightstone, boots, chalice of harmony, etc.

While that is true (Also the free dmg from item 3303 ), it does note really "feel" like a particularly support like ability. That's probably because it just happens to be an ability on champ that was not purpose built to be a support.

That said, Defiled Soil with item 3303 really is a great combo.
