I don't exactly agree with all of the people bashing him for this. Your ADC should position well enough to not get heavy CC'D and if he did then its time for you to ult or q, spell shield. You have many options on Morgana. Also, morgana is considered to be a very scary support and is often majorly focused when trying to move to the middle of team fights for her ult, which in turn results in you having to hit Zhonya's earlier. ALSO, As someone said you don't want to be pouring all this money into tank stats, and that is what Zhonya's helps to provide, but many people overlook that it only gives 50 armor as defensive stats. The ROA Helps shore up any problems Morgana could have and gives her stats that all are useful for her (yeah the mana is arguable whatever), but, look at Spirit Visage, Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart. Yes they all contain tanky stats but they do not help her much beyond that. The active on Randuin's Omen isn't fully utilized due to morgana not stacking mr or armor. The frozen heart passive is nice yet, but again it only gives armor and...... mana... The armor which isn't need and the mana is just stupid on Morgana. Spirit visage. Health and cdr oh yeah. BUT what does it's passive do for Morg?
With all that said, ROA isn't the perfect item for every game. It's good to get as long as you are not behind. ROA, Zhonyas, Boots, and sightstone, leaves 2 inventory slots left usually dedicated as you all say to tank items etc. HOWEVER; as I have stated that is not very helpful for morgana. So now with the ROA build you get the tank stats you need(along with that AP which morgana scales so well with) and the ability to still build Mikael's or Locket or any other support items which may be necessary. You all are so stuck on the fact that ROA is "selfish" but with an ADC who can position,(WHICH ALL SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO EVEN BRONZE/SILVERS), the stats are much more effective and allow you to still add support items to your build path. You all make the assumption that if you build ROA you have to then build tank stats and can NOT build something like mikaels but that is absolute ****. You have 2 item slots which can be utilized in various ways which help your team.
If you ask me, 3 out of 6 items built on a support that assist the team is not selfish (sighstone, plus the 2 empty slots.)

I used to very rarely get RoA on squishy AP supports, but I haven't done it for several months. Everything else is much more efficient, and it's very likely you'll end up regretting your choice later on.

It doesn't do much for your tankiness, the amount of time it takes to develop its health means that by the time you're receiving enough damage to justify the tankiness, you're not doing well anyways.

On Morgana, an Hourglass is pretty sufficient for her ults if timed correctly.
If you want to help me, teach me.

I don't see how building RoA makes any sense as a defensive item. If you wanted to live through team fights to get good ults off or whatever, you'd buy Banshee's Veil and Randuin's Omen. Furthermore, the whole point of Zhonya's Hourglass is that it allows you to get an ult off without needing to pour a lot of gold into defensive stats. How is waiting till 40 minutes to get 630 health from RoA even remotely comparable to getting Banshee's or Randuin's?


^ this.
