Champion Update: Morgana

Riot··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.

Please don't forget about Lord Mordekaiser. It's very old and has no particles or animations.

Gentelman cho gath please. I really love his unique quotes but he really deserves unique animations also as a legendary skin. Rito pls, i dont wanna wait till its rework item 3070 Chogath

That's the entire reason I bought her. I'm trying to deal with the disappointment. Maybe it'll show up in her complete VU (model update? etc?) if they do one...but now with a TU and effects update, I don't think it'll happen.

Agreed. To avoid current existing skins from becoming Chroma skins, they'll need new particles.

Steezy Steve7 votes

Wildly agree. It's my favorite skin, but the particles are extremely lack luster.

I think its really dumb that Exiled Morg is only one that didnt get its own effects.

KingBoo4518 votes

Sinful Succulence Morgana, Blade Mistress Morgana, Exiled Morgana and original all have the same effects.

Agreed...this update is a little on the lazy side. But thanks Riot for finally representing the actual hitbox for Q. Getting caught by the "peripherals" was starting to become equally cheap and annoying.

Taken from a post I did below -

"In updates we try our best to parallel what is on live currently. Exiled Morgana only had unique auto attack and idle effects. I don't disagree that there are varying levels of deliverables for older skins prices, but in this case we wanted to take what she has on live and make a nicer version. "

I'm in a software Junior Project right now and I'd just like to say this. The bare minimum can be an awful lot to go after. It may not seem like it but that's just the truth of the matter.

Then they shouldn't use a price scale based on the amount of work required for a skin, then ignore it because "it's hard" or it's "a lot to do."

A long time ago, in a season far, far away, Exiled Morgana skin was released at a ridiculously high rp price for TWO DAYS (was over 1100 rp or something) and then changed to 975 rp promptly after those days. I assumed it was a legendary skin since back then there weren't many of them and the pricing was higher than 975 and the idea sounded like a legendary. Alas, it was not. You may say 'But why didn't you get a refund then?' well refunds didn't exist back then young one so that rp is lost to the winds of time as is the beautiful particles which it could have been. ps. why can't you borrow the red particles from the thorn skin and just remove the effects of leaves/thorns - seems easy enough.

"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

Taric's update (gameplay & visual) is being worked.Probably won't be out for a while (maybe a year or more,who knows).Just wanted to say he is being worked on.

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.

UnkleDolan6911 votes

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.

Thanks for letting us know! I'll take a look. :)

It's because the camera angle is zoomed in slightly more than the others.

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.

Vynier10 votes

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

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

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

Swampmajikk7 votes

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...

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.

DynamiteGazelle3 votes

100 percent agree. The the q especially has been butchered. It used to have a unique q animation and the hit effect was awesome. Now her q is a recolor. A RECOLOR! On a 1350 RP skin? I have no idea how that made it through

l Shadowstorm l5 votes

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

Lgndary Summoner3 votes

Why are Exiled Morg's abilities not red!

Charmed by Ahri3 votes

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 :(

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