No other skill can counter a champion quite so hard and can be put on any of your teammates. The old implementation screwed over fiddlesticks entirely, it screwed over zilean, it screwed over teemo, and it would screw over Malzahar harder than anything you can imagine.

I agree that nerfing her without buffing her was a bad idea, but reverting the shield is not the way to go.

The changes earlier to Tainted Soil and Dark Binding didn't help much either. Yeah, DB has a shorter Cooldown, but think of this: They made Tainted Soil do most of it's damage at the end... and they made Dark Binding shorter. How did they think that was a good idea, again?

Riot just doesn't seem to know what to do with Morgana.

It still prevents CC effects and shields the target from Magic damage, but it no longer prevents the application of debuffs (such as Teemo's Shrooms, Zilean's Bombs, and Ignite). These debuffs will now begin eroding the shield, rather than being prevented like they previously were. This change impacts Morgana very hard, after the already impairing nerf to Soul Shackles AP ratio distribution.

This is not the first time Morgana has been unnecessarily nerfed. Several months ago, the slow debuff for many spells was split from the damage debuff of many spells, like Teemo's Shrooms, to prevent Highlander and Merc Treads from reducing/negating their damage when they were not intended to. Meanwhile, Morgana's Dark Binding was not changed to match. This cut her already circumstantial damage potential by a large margin. Dark Binding itself was dealing 40% less damage from just the snare-reducing Merc Treads passive, not even counting the MR. Because of the reduced duration, Tormented Soil also becomes partially negated, because the unit Bound to it will just walk away, receiving only 1 or 2 ticks of damage after Dark Binding wears off.

For a long time, Morgana has been disproportionately affected by changes made to her. The Black Shield changes are no different. The one thing keeping truly Morgana useful has been taken away. Now she has fallen to a very low tier of usefulness.

Please, for the sake of fallen angels everywhere, revert this unjust change.

Guess what, Anivia is still balanced. 20 pages of QQing over absolutely nothing. The same is true for Morgana. She is (or was >.>) ok at what she does, but she needs x change to make her work properly. Some people who don't know how to counter got completely roflstomped by a Morgana, and scream on the forums about how the end is nigh if the change goes through.



Well, see, I'm an Adjudicator, which means I can (and have already) linked this post to one in the Adjudicator forum, where Riot staff actually comment frequently. (PS, apparently Lima Beans voted here.)

The thread I made in the general forum explaining the stealth nerf when I first discovered it went 120+ posts before a single riot person read it, and they only knew about my thread because I linked them from another post made later in the adjudicator forums.

Before the shield nerf, Morgana threads almost didn't exist, even back when she got her first round of nerfs a little over a month ago.

Remember the Morgana changes that hit a little over a month ago? The origin of that remake was from my constant harassment of Brackhar on the matter. The original intent was supposed to be for a minor buff overall to Morgana and a shoring up of her early game. The result was.... worse than expected.

I may not be the best Morgana player in the game, but I think I am by far one of the most involved when it comes to trying to get improvements made to her.
