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.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Morgana's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Risucchio spirituale

  Morgana risucchia lo spirito dai suoi nemici, curandosi mentre infligge danni a campioni, minion grandi e mostri della giungla grandi e medi.

• Q
  Legame oscuro

  Morgana blocca un nemico con la magia nera, costringendolo a provare il dolore che ha causato e infliggendogli danni magici.

  Strong: an extremely long root that sets up her whole combo. Weak: a slow skillshot — stand behind minions and dodge it; no bind, no combo.

• W
  Ombra tormentata

  Morgana evoca un'ombra maledetta su un'area, danneggiando i nemici che osano calpestare il suo cerchio oscuro. I nemici subiscono danni magici nel tempo, che aumentano al diminuire della loro salute.

• E
  Scudo nero

  Morgana ricopre un alleato con una barriera protettiva di fuoco stellare che assorbe i danni magici e gli impedimenti finché non viene distrutta.

  Strong: Black Shield blocks all magic damage and CC on an ally, negating your engage. Weak: bait it out before you commit hard CC or magic burst.

• R
  Catene spirituali

  Morgana scatena tutto il suo potere celestiale spiegando le ali e librandosi in aria. Scaglia dolorose catene oscure contro i campioni nemici vicini, ottenendo velocità di movimento. Le catene rallentano e infliggono danni iniziali al nemico e, dopo un ritardo, stordiscono chi non è in grado di spezzarle.

  Strong: roots everyone around her for a teamfight lockdown. Weak: spread out and don't clump near her when it's up.

Itemization
