Morgana has taken off as a highly powerful mid laner across all ranks of play. We're super happy that she's found a new audience here but she's also meaningfully overpowered. In order to open up some more weaknesses, we're looking to bring down her guaranteed durability, making her rely more on Black Shield and Soul Siphon.

Last patch gave us a clean read on how much power each role got from making Morgana's W damage more consistent. With that dust settled, we're here to revisit her with some directly power-positive buffs, giving her better early fighting and making late-laning wave clear less punishing.

Morgana is in a pretty sad state right now and could use some power in all three of her roles. We’re looking to make her main damaging ability more reliable by letting her whittle down healthier targets. This is a riskier change that may not end up having the power impact that we want so if Morgana doesn’t end up stronger as a result of these changes, we’ll quickly follow up with reliable buffs.

Morgana has fallen behind in terms of power in all of her roles. Currently, her ultimate doesn't quite give her enough mobility to prevent her opponents from escaping. So to help her lock down her targets, we’re giving her ult more power and a stronger Black Shield to incentivize playmaking and increase success.

The Morgana changes from last patch accomplished a lot of the goals we had, but didn’t quite increase her power as much as we wanted in the mid lane and the jungle. Adding some more base damage to her W and increasing its damage to monsters should help give these roles a small buff without affecting her as a support too much, as we feel she’s at an appropriate power level in that role.

Morgana has felt weak for a while, but it's been difficult to buff her due to her high ban rate. This patch, we're buffing her ult to ensure it continues to be worth casting as the game progresses, but slightly increasing the E cooldown to give CC supports more windows to interact with her. We're also helping out her midlane and jungle with buffs to W scaling.

Morgana has fallen as a support in both Average and Pro play. Giving her more access to her unique CC blocking shield should help, especially in matchups where she's historically excelled. (Looking at you, hard stun and knockup supports.)

Our buffs to jungle Morg in 11.8 were intended to shine a spotlight on her ability to jungle. Instead, it propelled Morgana to be more successful in the jungle than in her primary roles, so we’re adjusting accordingly.

Although we still think she’s a great new addition to the jungle, our 11.8 buff to Morgana was stronger than intended, so we're partially walking it back.
