It's not my job to motivate you, get a life coach or something.

Hi! Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you like the guide!

About your question, sadly this is something that we simply have to deal with. Morgana is not really a 1v9 carry, so you're bound to have some games that just aren't winnable. You just need to be consistent and play enough games, and eventually it will even out and you get just as many idiots on the enemy teams as you get on your teams.

One piece of advice I do have though is to try to play around someone on your team who is ahead. Like, let's say bot and top are both losing but your jungler is ahead, try to get them ahead further and don't waste time trying to save your top and botlane. You could for example shove waves to gain map control, use that to place deep wards that help your jungler to track the enemy jungler, and then invade or gank together with them.

Basically what I'm trying to say, Morgana is really good when she has at least one fed teammate to make plays with together, even if the other 3 are feeding. So if you have one, latch onto them and help them get ahead further and make plays.

Also, don't forget to itemize against the fed enemy carries. Rylais for example is really good to keep some fast fed ADCs in control. Like when they have a fed Vayne that just destroys your team in teamfights, the Rylais slow with your W in a teamfight makes it harder for her to kite and then maybe your melee teammates can actually reach her. It's also good against fed melee champs that are trying to reach your carries instead. Rylais or Everfrost could prevent a fed enemy Darius from running down your own ADC, for example.

But yeah, overall Morgana is sadly a champ that always relies on her team to a certain degree.

Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I'm totally open to discuss some of the matchups. I've rated them based on my experience playing against them in low/mid Dia SoloQ. What matchups are you talking about in particular?

I am also rating matchups based on how I believe they play out when both players are playing their champion at a decent level. Of course Morgana can beat a Katarina for example if Kata doesn't know what she's doing. For the ratings, I'm assuming that the player mains their champ at a decent level of play and knows what they're doing.

What basis do you have for saying Midlane Morgana is much more powerful than I make her out to be? She has nearly no presence at all in Master+, there's usually less than 5 midlane Morgana mains in the world at any time who are Dia 1 or higher. I think she's quite strong in low/mid elo, but I believe she drops off heavily at around low to mid Dia. Can you link your op.gg?

Thank you!!

Thank you Pulse, yours is too! ^_^

Thank you!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! :)

1. I don't really like Glacial and I didn't really like it last season either, it often feels overkill to me. Everfrost works just fine without it, and I don't think it's really worth it for just one item. I think Glacial is dead for now unless Twin Shadows come back.

2. I almost always go Spellbook vs assassins in lane because of how it allows me to rotate through defensive summoner spells, and it also allows me to get at least one TP during the laning phase for tempo even when I'm running Flash + Barrier or Flash + Exhaust as my baseline summoner spells. I think Spellbook is generally very underrated when used correctly, also because it makes it very hard for enemies to properly track what summoners you have available so you can bait really hard with it sometimes. But it takes some time to get used to it.

3. I never use DH. While it's fun if you get a lot of stacks, I think it's a huge bait and much worse than it seems. Comet deals more damage by default, has a lower cooldown by default, and scales better with AP. You need quite a few stacks (and takedowns for cooldown reduction) for DH just to go even with Comet. You also won't really be able to stack it in lane against decent players. It's like high risk low reward. On top of that, I really like having the minor runes from Sorcery and Inspiration.

4. If you like playing a snowball-ish high risk high reward playstyle against squishy teams, I recommend still going Comet but going Mejais second item after Ludens, before Horizon Focus. Mejais actually counts as a legendary item, so it will give you 5 extra flat magic pen from Ludens mythic passive. So just with Ludens, Mejais and Sorc Boots you'd have 33 flat mpen already. Horizon Focus after that and you can easily oneshot any squishy, no need for Dark Harvest. The free stopwatch and the biscuits from minor Inspiration runes also "protect" your Mejais stacks, making it easier to maintain.

Thank you, I'm happy you like the guide!

Thank you! :)
Many people think of her as a support champion these days and your lane opponents will even often underestimate you because of this.
I'm glad you like the guide, good luck and have fun when trying her out!
