Playing against Morgana
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Stay behind minions: her Q is a linear projectile blocked by units.
Her E (Black Shield) only blocks magic CC, not physical damage or physical CC — knockbacks and knockups go through it.
Punish her when her E is on cooldown (24-18s): that's when her allies are vulnerable to engages.
If Morgana uses her R, move away immediately to break the chain before the 2nd stun — or burst her if she doesn't have Zhonya's.
