Summoner spells

Always

		In general, this is a mandatory spell with morgana both to get close to hit your Soul Shackles or also to be able to escape from abilities or dangerous situations

Favorite

		A very useful spell with morgana since with your Dark Binding you have a lot of potential for killing in lines more against characters that do not have mobility, in addition to the damage it is useful to reduce heals to 60%.

Situational

		Only if your carry doesn't carry it and in very rare cases when you want to give him more survival tools.

		It is certainly a good situational spell when facing characters with a lot of burts or assassins, the damage reduction offered by this spell can be useful to avoid dying too quickly.

Runes in depth

In general, this rune is very consistent in the trades and lane phase, if you do not have to play defensively, it is undoubtedly one of the best runes in most cases to be able to play a little more aggressive or in a more aggressive way. more standard.

It is a very good rune that can help you get more maximum mana during trades from time to time, very useful in laning phase to not suffer so much from the early game mana costs.

Rune focused on the first stages of the game, to apply more damage during the first trades in the lane, it loses value in team fights and late game.

It is a very useful rune and it begins to work at level 5, providing an ability until this rune scales with the player's levels, obtaining its greatest benefit from the player's level 11, comparing it with another rune of the same line, for example , can offer a lot to .

This is chosen if you are looking to play the late game since this rune gives better statistics to the player the longer the game spends.

Not a very good rune in most games, useful against full AP opponents.

It's usually a rune when your game plan would be around moving around the map and taking advantage of the extra movement speed you get from being in the river, I usually don't select it as I prefer to use , if You think you are going to have to play a lot along the rivers and moving around the map is a good option.

Rune that can be chosen if you are looking for a little more damage in the trades as long as you have more than 70% of life, when lowering this percentage this rune loses its effectiveness.

It could help you if you execute your + and gain a little movement speed or also to escape in some situations, useful option but it is not for all games.

For many players, this is the key rune in most games because of the poke it can offer in lane, plus it's easy to use with your and wear down opposing laners.

Provides extra movement speed that is very useful with , if you don't want to go with and the movement speed can be useful in your confrontation it is worth using it.

I don't use it much less if I go support, there are better options.

More info

Inspiration provides many runes that can be useful with , there are quite a few options.

It is a rune that is very interesting because if you hit your , this causes a slowdown zone to form in addition to your allies receiving less damage from rivals, without a doubt a very good rune with although it is necessary to hit the or the to activate it

I don't use it much although if you can do damage with your W before the rivals damage you well you gain gold and a little damage, it is not my favorite but in some cases it can be viable.

This rune is interesting and has great potential because it allows you to use many summoner spells during the same game, at first it can be difficult to use this rune but once you know how to use it you can take advantage of it on certain occasions, the great inconvenience with this rune is that until minute 6 you do not have a key rune as such, which can be difficult to face the lane without a rune that helps lane such as or , although this rune later allows many combinations and adaptations.

A very useful rune I would say mandatory in many cases that provides you with an item with an active identical to that of , It also helps you to perform your R + combo

Very useful although I prefer to buy early in the game and not have to wait later in some lines this rune can be very useful as when you play very defensively it can be useful.

You get into debt to buy an item earlier, it's not a bad option

An uncommon rune option and that in the support role can only be used in certain cases, it can only be played with and ensuring you have charges to share with the carrier, with this rune you can push the wave using The dematerializer on the mininon cannon can also be good to secure some minions without exposing yourself too much.

One of the most popular runes for the laning phase to sustain and stay without many complications.

It is a very good rune with since
With this rune you will have your summoner spells sooner and it also speeds up the time you can have your active on items like .

If you hit your Q you can get closer to your enemies faster, with your R on the enemies it will give you more speed so that they cannot escape ,this rune works very well with due to the slowdown it offers you in this way you can move with greater speed to enemies with altered movement.

Highly recommended rune since it is very useful in the laning phase because when using a potion it offers instant healing, this rune shines in the early phases of the game, it does not work too well in the late game since it is difficult at that time to game have potions.

I would say it is the defensive tree if you want to play Morgana in a more supportive way maximizing protection

It is not the best option, you can get extra life during your trades but not against all the confrontations you could do this.

The most recommended rune if you are looking to go more defensive and not give an advantage or simply wait for the scaling, this rune makes a safer laning phase for you and your adc, essential in many situations this rune is usually played with .

You can activate when you are against characters that are thrown on you and you can not miss your , in this way you get resistances so you can not be so easy to eliminate

With this rune you could get plates from the towers, it could be useful if you have a lot of line pressure and you are practically in the rival tower, are better runes like .

With this rune, every time you immobilize or slow your allies that break the green mark, they will be healed, and can help the activation of this rune in a simpler way.

Normally you do not get the maximum potential of the rune since many times the shield is not thrown by you, you could consider it if you are going to arm yourself with Locket and even so it is not entirely recommended.

With this rune you get more resistance at minute 9, but let's be honest, they are not enough if you consider what you normally get with Morgana.

Useful in lines where there is a constant poke from rivals such as or poke champs.

Rune highly recommended in difficult confrontations, it avoids being eliminated quickly, it is usually used in a defensive way, without a doubt a very useful rune.

You get maximum health after a certain number of minions die near you, could be useful, more focused on mid and late game.

Increases heals and shields by an amount, but for low health allies, your passive heals also benefit from this rune..

Generally good rune against a team that has a lot of crowd control, this rune in conjunction with can be very useful in situations where stun time reduction is a priority.

More info

This tree has interesting runes and you can get something out of it in games.

Just no.

Rune not so used but that can help you when you hit 3 skills or separate aa for example the fastest way would be: Q + W + AA

It is a very good aggressive rune, although sometimes you cannot take full advantage of it, so normally the itemization with this rune is damage like or so that in later phases of the game you can achieve deal a lot of damage.

Rune that can be used to have a little more sustain in line when you get to connect your skills against the opponent.

Not top of the line

Rune that can help to get more vision in multiple places on the map, it can be a useful rune, I don't play it too much but it has potential.

One of my favorite runes to gain vision, as those zombie wards can help a lot and it's an extra vision on top of the normal control wards, they can help you have more vision to hit your

Rune dedicated to getting more damage every time a knockdown is achieved on the ally, very useful when you want to go to damage.

This rune is very good and sometimes where you want or need many active items is where this rune helps a lot to reduce the time in which you can have the active ones available, many times having for example a before the rival can assume an advantage, this rune also affects items that have cooldowns that do not necessarily have to be active like , in the same way it reduces the cooldown time of .

It is not useful, you do not need that omnivampirism , your passive helps you if you need to heal.

Useful rune that you choose if you want to reduce the cooldown of your ultimate and have it earlier in team fights

Guardian or aery?

Although you are a counter to many initiation supports, that does not mean that they cannot kill you online, if they play it well and you play badly, that means that you can die and more than that there are very strong champions in the meta that sometimes do not counters matter.
The ability that counters many remember that it has a lot of CD let's say 20 seconds, other skills of a lioness for example have less than 10 in that time you have very low chances of dying but they are still
When you're in a matchup where the enemy has a lot of death pressure on you, taking will offer you more protection and increase your defensive stats. As soon as the enemy engages you or your ADC, the shield will protect you from some of the damage. This makes him a good resource to increase his survivability in lane.
Getting a shield at level 1 and 2 will probably save your life when playing against a champion like , who has a lot of early game pressure. In particular, in a snowball-heavy meta, taking will reduce its ability to kill you as long as you play aggressive when is active and not before.
For the most part, you'll always want to run over unless you're in a matchup where the enemy has a lot of total or death pressure. I like to look at it this way: is there a chance I'll die often in lane? If the answer is yes, I'll take .If I'm in a matchup where the enemy lacks lane kill threat, but their allies have a lot of tough matchups or are assassins, I also like to take , as it offers me and my ADC more protection when engaged. For example, taking against , , or will help protect me and my ADC in a team fight.
By taking , you lose quite a few valuable stats that buff and buff your champion, but taking gives you more protection. You need to weigh the pros and cons of each and choose the one that best suits the matchup you find yourself in. When taking , you may often need to adjust your starting item choice as well. and go hand in hand, but sometimes it's not necessarily worth going with , as you'll still be in danger of dying when trying to push the enemy.

That's why it can be beneficial for you to use when playing , since you don't have to put yourself in a position where the enemy can bet on you. Taking should, on many occasions, be taken with , can be taken with .
In general is more focused towards a standard game where you can both buff your allies a little more as well as do a little more damage usually, in some games it will be , in some games it will be , or sometimes it will be a completely different rune.

REMEMBER THAT HAVING A COUNTER DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS A GUARANTEED VICTORY, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO OVERCOME THOSE COUNTERS

Laning phase/early game

Aggressive line
This line will usually be played with , probably or to be able to get the most advantage possible and then take that advantage to other lines, the Q in early levels offers 2 seconds of root which can be very strong and with high chances of getting a kill , if you can get close and use R before Q use it.
It's much easier to earn gold from with . It also provides a bit of poke so use it whenever you cannot hit
Early game, into may burn lots of health from your opponents. Be careful when harassing this way, as the former costs lots of mana, especially when maxed early on.
Single will deal tremendous total damage to minions and will cause your lane to push. However, since lasts pretty long and protects from crowd-control, she is really hard to gank.
Morgana is great at zoning her enemies, forcing to either leave specified area, hide behind minions or just run away from you.
Defensive line
It is somewhat rare to have defensive lines with morgana but, in cases that usually happen or that your style of play will be based on it and the maximum protection of your carries, the most normal thing is to carry and to avoid aggression and being within range of some trade that does not benefit you, this can be useful when you have, say, characters in front of you that outnumber you in damage or range and that trading with your or is somewhat insufficient, in this game mode, usually You will seek help from your jungle or you could also try to move around the map in early moments, perhaps to obtain something in return, but be careful not to lose a lot of time offline since you could be out of time and level, and this would also become a disadvantage for you. team and for you.

Team fights

Regardless of the type of style you play, positioning is essential
Agresive style
If you hit the Q on someone you can roll W+ R to start a team fight, make sure they have a chance to win it or outnumber
-You can use your + to force a fight, in narrow places this is very useful because if you don't have or dashes it is not possible to escape
Shrewd use of can determine the outcome of teamfights.
Items that provide survivability allow to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with and .
Save your for protecting your adc/yourself from crowd control.
Morgana's might be one of the strongest ultimates, combining high damage with huge scaling and long stun. However it requires her to stick to your enemies, making her vulnerable to attacks. If possible, do not go in first.
In very chaotic team fights, try to be close to one of your carrys, preferably the one that is best in the game, sometimes if you hit the Q and put the shield on time it is very good, sometimes it is not ideal to throw + +Zhonya´s since you can be exposed and leave your carry exposed, it is not always the best option, it is defending the situation is how to act.

Conclusion

Thank you for reaching this part of my guide and taking the time to read all kinds of comments are accepted to improve as long as they are not lacking, this guide is not finished yet some aspects are missing but I hope soon to be able to update them in the best way Leave the information that seemed most useful to me, I hope it will be useful and we will read each other later, i will add more details perhaps in the section of synergies and clashes in addition to other chapters.
