Wow. This was the most effective Morgana guide I think I've read. Great advice, flows well, and the build is very well reasoned. I love how everything is explained in such detail, with the multiple viewpoints.

Waffle: I'm glad that we have common builds :D

KoTak: Thank you very much ^^

Duck: Thanks! We enjoyed writing the guide, and the multiple view-points adds a certain layer of depth that other guides don't have the opportunity to achieve :)

Trophy: Y You No Liek Awesome Alliteration, Ay? :P Thanks for the vote :3

You really wrote another great guide here. How long did it take? Morgana was one of my first Mages and I still love her.

I just recognized 3 things to add:

1.) Summoner Spell: Smite
I'm a big fan of Smite on Morgana. It seems to be useless but it can be a great spell in the right hands. Despect the fact it will grant you more gold when using the corresponding masteries it can help you to harass.
Most people will hide behind creeps in order to avoid your stun. You could flash and get into a right position. But maybe you want to save it to escape from a gank? Smite is the perfect solution for it as it got a much smaller cooldown. Use your stun and smite the creep short after that. If you do that right your enemy won't be able to react and you are able to do some serious damage or even get the kill. You can repeat that very often. It really needs some practice but it could be better than Ignite. Anyway, Smite is losing its advantage in late game. But still it is granting you some more gold. And in my opinion Smite is a great tool to get fed in early game. So you will be stronger in mid and late and most likely you won't need Ignite anyway. And it also helps to ensure getting Baron/Dragon/Blue.

2.) Gameplay: Pushing or not?
Morgana is great for pushing a lane. The question is: Shall I push? I would explain that in your guide. It depends on your jungler if you try to damage the enemy tower or fall back a bit so your jungler can gank.
In addition to that there is a little trick for using Tormented Soil. If you just use it for the mage creeps your enemy (if he is ranged) can't hide between or behind them to farm without getting damage. So you will probably hit with your stun more often.

3.) Guardian Angel:
Once you wrote it's a mentionable item and in your FAQ you said it's not viable on Morgana. A bit confusing. ;)

Anyway: +1 from me.


Please notice: If you just commented my post or updated your guide please let me know - by writing an PN - to get new feedback / a new vote. I can't have an eye on all the guides I'm commenting.

Quoted:
(as Teleport can only be interrupted by death or a displacement/stun)

Silence works too. I wasn't sure at first, but I just saw The Rain Man silence a Galio who was teleporting and stopped it.

Pretty sure suppression would stop it too.


Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

Ssyrak: Smite is a summoner spell that should be reserved for junglers only ^^ Pushing: yeah, I could write a bit more on that. Guardian Angel: I meant why it's not in the core build, but I'll word it better.

Psi: I was hoping "displacement/stun" would be enough, but I should probably expand that to silence and suppression too ^^

It's a great guide, good read - some good stuff in it, wish you would add some information about what teamcomps morgana works BEST on ( Galio+ Morgana = instawin for instance :3

Other than that great guide, I am not a big fan of stacking dorans on Morgana, especially not in soloque where you can't really rely on your jungler to get you blue all the time (cause they are selfish and don't know how to play etc.) RoA helps your mana problem throughout the entire game and almost all games it's better to rush RoA than stack Doran's

Doran's can be a good starter tho ^^





If someone can't stay alive in lane for 6:30 seconds on their own then they got problems.

Nerf Morg plox!
Sorry didn't want to read it all >.< It's all fancy but I'm just bored of playing Morg. :P
VERY in depth and detailed. Love the formatting, the pictures, EVERYTHING.
Also, you really won't need the third Doran's Ring. You should also add on that if you're against an easy / decent lane, you can rush a catalyst instead of stacking Doran's Rings. You won't need to stack Doran's if you're doing well in lane.
