How to beat Morgana

Common role: Support / Mid

A mage who roots you for an eternity with her binding and shields allies from CC.

What makes Morgana dangerous

Morgana lands a very long root with her Q (Dark Binding), zones with a damage pool (W), and her Black Shield (E) blocks all magic damage and CC on an ally — negating enemy engage. Her ultimate roots everyone around her for a teamfight lockdown. She's all about her binding and shield.

How to play against Morgana

• 1Dodge her Q binding — it's a slow skillshot but roots you for ages, setting up her whole combo. Stand behind minions.
• 2Her E (Black Shield) blocks your CC and magic — bait it out before you commit hard CC or magic burst on that target.
• 3Don't stand in her W pool — it's high sustained damage that zones. Step out of it in trades and fights.
• 4Respect her ultimate range — it roots everyone near her. Spread out and don't clump around her when it's up.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Binding is a slow, dodgeable skillshot.
• ✓Immobile with no escape — easy to dive.
• ✓Black Shield is on a cooldown you can bait.
• ✓Squishy; hard CC and dives punish her once Q/E are down.

  Grilletes del alma

  Morgana desata todo el potencial de su poder celestial, se suelta las alas y flota sobre el suelo.

Las cadenas ralentizan e infligen daño inicialmente y, tras unos instantes, aturden a todos aquellos que no hayan conseguido liberarse de ellas.
