Morgana has 2 quite reliable CCs. She is a great farmer and can sustain on a lane way more than Lux.

Morgana shield >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lux one.

You are thinking it bad. She isnt an AP carry, she isnt a support and for sure she isnt a tank.
Morgana is a high damage support. That is it.


I disagree with you somewhat, Morgana probably does have more sustain than lux, but that's only because of her passive. Lux is still a great laner thanks to her amazing range on every spell.

As for their shields, they're actually pretty even - Assuming both shields are fully levelled (I'm not sure what order Morgana levels shield, but on Lux I level shield second), Morgana's shield is 355 base (magic damage only) plus CC immunity on one champion, Lux's shield is 160 base on potentially your entire team, and Lux's shield can be applied TWICE in the same cast for 320 base (any type of damage). I'd say both shields are pretty good, the problem is actually hitting your team with Lux's.

The things IMO that really make Lux superior are her E dealing it's damage instantly instead of over time, her Q can hit two targets instead of just one, and her ultimate is actually useful without you having to suicide into the enemy team.

Also I consider both Lux and Morgana to be AP/Support, they're both pretty useless without any farm IMO. I build Lux straight AP with no defence because of her long range, and take either solo or duo (still farming in the duo).

  • Shield
  • Binding
  • Ultimate

I play her as a bulky support-ish dps. Not to mention her ultimate turns teamfights around, and her shield f***s up their AP carry's burst. What more can you ask for? (Aside from -1s CD on her shield, lol)

Morg's shield is way, way better. It doesn't only prevent damage, it also stops CC. No other shield, other than single use spell shields, do that. It's also a lot easier to put on the person you want to.

Again, only magic damage and only on a single target. Lux's can work on the whole team and applies twice. IMO Morgana's is better because of the CC immunity and better AP scaling, but it's not THAT much better.

Pretty much how I play her, Lux's ult is great for burst and lux is probably better for just pure burst, but Morgana is a bit more supportish and better at it.

Usually by late game, either your sheild protects you totally, or you take a ****load of damage which destroys you, shield or not. Either way, to prevent getting nuked in a second, anti-CC is my way to go :)

Morgana and Lux fill different roles...why are we comparing them in the first place?

Morgana is a semi-tanky, magical DPS/support, but can be played as an AP carry with some success.

Lux is an AP carry, but can be played less successfully as a support.


Morgana is good at what she does, you just have to know how to play her well.

Morgana is really annoying in some recent games.

1) She is anti-Malzahar so long as she remembers to shield
2) Any other suppress? Cancelled
3) A big shield ruins some people's days

I feel Morganna's damage is a bit too random. Lux is a bit more secure. Her binding is a bit better and her "bomb" is instant when you activate it. Morganna's Tormented soil applies some initial damage and then proceeds to decrease your MR while doing more. The problem is no one stands on Tormented Soil for long. Even if you land your snare+soil the damage done isn't significant, Morg's ulti is her only true redeeming quality but even that is based on people standing around long enough....I'd probably want Riot to make it so Morg's ulti does initial damage then more damage over time then 1 last bit of damage at the end. On the other side of that, the initial amount of damage done by Morg's ult can be extremely high if she gets a solid build going. But it throws her into a **** storm with defense against magic and CC but not a lick of auto attack damage....

shes totally smokes if you know how to play her, in a game barely any group can gank me due to her shield and snare. And her ulti is the god tier ulti, it can *** up entire enemy team. Compare to lux, i would say lux ulti is not as useful as morg ulti.

However, it all ends up on the player skill...
