Champion Update: Morgana

Riot·4/2/2015, 9:53:20 PM·8 votes·164,689 views

We’ve just about finished our latest update on Morgana, who’s now dressed for success and ready to torment live!

Morgana

Exiled Morgana

Sinful Succulence Morgana

Blade Mistress Morgana

Blackthorn Morgana

Ghost Bride Morgana

Victorious Morgana

Unlike most of our recent work, Morgana’s update was predominantly aimed at brushing up the Fallen Angel’s readability, meaning we focused on adjusting the gameplay clarity of her abilities. We’ve widened the visual width of her Dark Binding particle to better represent the actual size of the missile. Now Morg players can judge more accurately whether their Q’s going to land, while her enemies can more accurately see where they need to get to to avoid getting snared. We also fiddled with Tormented Soil so that it’s a little more visible in brush, and tweaked Black Shield so you can better understand if Morg’s E has been taken out or just faded away. Finally, we made some changes to Soul Shackles, giving visual and audio cues as the tether ramps up to stun, and adding a new unique sound whenever enemies successfully duck outside the tether’s range. Have a look at the videos above for Morg’s new ability effects!

That’s about it for Morgana! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

I was really hoping that when this came along, Exiled Morg would get the gold/red particles it deserves as a 975 skin.

"Now Morg players can judge more accurately whether their Q’s going to land"

You already can. If you throw it in the general direction of anyone, + or - 45 degrees, it'll hit.

I always thought it would be cool if they made pairs of reverse skins, like Redeemed MorganaMorgana and Fallen Angel Kayle Kayle

I don't understand why they can't make Exiled Morgana's abilities red and yellowish... that would look so sweet i've been wanting that for over a year. GG ritoitem 3070 item 3070

Now if you could just update her dress, so it looks like a dress, instead of a centaur crossed with a garden slug.

Looks like Blackthorn Morgana's Q has a wider circle around the enemy's feet when they are snared compared to the other skins. Probably not a big deal, but I thought I'd point that out.

This isn't a visual update. This is a texture re balance. Honestly it seems like Riot put a ton of work into this, but I feel like they're gonna have to look at her again in a year. It didn't get rid of the problem that she doesn't have legs, her posture, or her outrageous ears. Her anatomy is still a disaster and her wings still don't have discernible feathers. And don't get me started on Exile Morgana. This is upsetting to see tbh and I would rather wait for riot to finish completely overhauling Morgana, as opposed to a texture re balance passed off as a visual update.

I saw this and got so excited that her entire kit was being reworked, and was let down so much. Rito please nerf Morgana

Awesome, though Ghost Bride is what I use and it looks pretty much the same as before.

i dont understand what their thing is with making snares and binds not look like they actually trap anything...its like a ground only flash and thats it. the old one translated the idea that "you're stuck" a lot better...

I don't like the ultimate graphic. I thought the chains looked better!

pls pls pls put the chain sounds back on ghost bride morgana's ult

I really feel like the blackthorn effects aren't as good as they used to be. It doesn't feel like a 1350 RP skin anymore.

i'd like to see more leaves in the blackthron skin, i like more the actual Effects on the skin, also her W needs a bit more animation, it looks cool but, it's missing something

The updates are nice! But i can't get over the new Blackthorn W particles. It used to be black thorns(tormented soil) that would dissipate in an elegant way. Which is why i bought the skin long ago, now its gone :(

Why are Exiled Morg's abilities not red!

what a waste of time for one pointless champion that can get rocked every game.
