Playing against Morgana

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

1

Stay behind minions: her Q is a linear projectile blocked by units.

2

Her E (Black Shield) only blocks magic CC, not physical damage or physical CC — knockbacks and knockups go through it.

3

Punish her when her E is on cooldown (24-18s): that's when her allies are vulnerable to engages.

4

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.
