What if there was a solo lane champ that could never get ganked? What if that solo lane always got more cs than the opposing solo lane champ? What if the champ always won their lane, and more often than not levels up faster than the opponents?

Solo mid Morgana is so good right now, it's not even fair.

I consider getting more cs than the opposing solo lane and not losing your tower "winning your lane"

Of course, not dieing is important... and you can't kill morgana.

Are they ganking you? Use Black Sheild and walk back to tower. Feel like doing even less? Tormented Soil the creep wave and walk away. It's like Malzahar but you get insane health regen too.

And you walk to the enemy wraiths (and sometimes your wraiths), W, attack the big one, and get free gold/exp.

Counter her with Mordekaiser. Biggest Morg counter there is imo because he's able to push a wave before Soil can run it's full duration. The result is that she has to scramble for hits at tower and likely lose most of them. That or wait til they reach the tower to Soil and that threat to tower builds up over time.

Yea, Morde was always a frustrating matchup for me when I played Morg.

Hey Mogwai, do you think Pantheon is strong at the moment?

I don't know about you.. but all of a sudden he feels off to me... Not sure what to build on him atm... stuff like brutalizer just doesn't seem to be enough AD..

Pantheon sticks it in Morgana's butt. Also Jarman. Also like, every single other physical damage nuker.
Yes but the current meta is bruiser / ap top, ap carry mid, ad carry support bot, and surprise fiddles in the jungle!!

Also, panth/ori/morde/udyr are #1 ban for me atm

I want to expect better of you, but I know not to
Pantheon feels crazy strong to me. boots + pots -> double dblade -> brutalizer -> bloodthirster with a 21/9/0, ArPen/Armor/MRes/AD spec. not sure why it doesn't feel like enough AD to you =\. QWEQQR -> Q > E > R > W. Seriously, don't get level 2 ult until after HSS maxed.

Morgana is just as much fun as she's always been <3 Even through every stage of her balancing I've loved playing her. Haven't done it much in recent patches due to her being in a *tiny* bit of a weak spot, but she's just so much darn fun that I can't help myself every now and then.

That movespeed boost and 3 sec shackle for her stun really put her over the top for 1v1 other champs. The auto attack speed increase, snare cooldown, and pool mana cost reduction let her solo lane

Tell me about it. Even with ap runes, levels 1-6 used to be a nightmare in terms of mana (especially if I didn't start Saph Crystal). I distinctly remember having a rule to throw no more than two Dark Bindings before going back to base if I could help it just because I wouldn't be able to keep my Soil up otherwise :(

The cooldowns are the part I'm most happy about. They were small changes but just enough to help her. I know I got two kills today that I wouldn't have with old cooldowns.

Orianna needs to be nerfed. Not drastically, but just tweaked a little here and there.

1: That haste/slow needs to be toned down
2: That shield ratio needs to be nerfed.

There's also the issue of that long *** ranged disable, but that's probably too core to her concept to change.

Today I Sadly Realized: Morgana is in an ok spot, but Orianna is just better :( :( :(
na trick, stop thinking like that. I said that to myself once about Karma, but then I realized that Karma *****.

Yes, ori is still ridiculously strong.

@PX, still can't find my mindslavers :(
I think I have 2 Mirrodin Mindslavers. u jelly? Anyway, who cares, mtg sucks now, I miss combat damage using the stack.

protect needs a lower AP ratio or CD. Everything's just about having low CDs and good AP/CD ratios with crazy range.

speaking of jungling

i'm watching it's health, it's at about 1200, gp ults, then all of a sudden it dies before i can smite it. my team gets upset with me cause i didn't smite it, but i don't get what i could have done in that situation.

short of stop attacking it so i don't my bloodrazer didn't proc, i wasn't sure what to do

It happens. I had a Baron stolen from me once (only happens rarely) b/c a fed Nidalee's spear did more damage to it than my smite could at the time :\

So after jungling with morg all day this is what i do:


Smite/flash

start with cloth + 5

smite big wraith,
wolves
wraiths
mid
minigolems
Sidelane
wolves
wraiths
Base
Blue

the cloth becomes a frozen heart. Any suggestions for runes or where to go after this, i've played with tank, heavy AP, ect. but not sure which is best.

you have to do a lot to end up in the Tribunal I think. I mean, I honestly can't remember a game where Mindless Legend did not troll in one way or another.
No, you can get in the Tribunal for one game. I've reviewed plenty of one-game cases and was suspended for a day by the Tribunal for a one-game offense.
