Why are Morgana's wings shaped the way they are?

All jokes aside about butt wings, I love the new reworked Morgana and Kayle. In fact I've started playing my secondary (Morgana) and primary (Karthus) mains again because of the new systems that keep slowly making the game better. (regardless of what other players think to me it feels better).

My question, though, is why are all of Morgana's wings so low on her back that they protrude from her tailbone as if the wings are part of the tail? You can clearly see the giant open back on Morgana's dress that doesn't have any connections to the wings.

would there be any inclination to adjust the wings on her model and bring them slightly up on the back closer to the shoulder blade? I've looked at both Kayle's and Morgana's models and they seem to have the same set of wings. 6 wings that consist of 2 tail wings 2 primary wings and 2 secondary wings. I'm fine with the tail wings being that low, but the mid and upper wings should definitely stretch a little higher up right?

Or was this an intentional design choice?

Iirc from the AMA it was because they really sell that Morgana rejects her celestial nature by bounding her wings, hence why they’re tied down to the lower half of the body, and they thought her wings being apart of her dress seemed really cool. Tho it def reads like a tail

The thing that bothers me even more is the way wings bend even when they aren't supposed to, like with Ghost bride Morgana. THEY ARE MADE OF STONE, THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BEND LIKE FEATHERS.

I mean she would have no wings if she could.

She's trying to cosplay as female Warwick obviously. It's pretty funny when you stand both of them together and let an Ahri run by. 3 near identical tails.

Like kayle she has multiple wing's her main wings are chained together and don't come out until she ults its whats draging the ground and kinda look like a tail when she walks around

I don't get why it's not her primary flight wings that are bound...

All that Morgana achieves by binding her lower wings is severely compromising her maneuverability and her take-off/landing stability.
