Playing as Morgana
Tips to maximize your impact
- Start with your Q
Look for Dark Binding (Q) early on: the first enemy hit is rooted, giving your carry time to catch them.
- W under the rooted target
Place Tormented Shadow (W) under the target of Dark Binding (Q): rooted, they take the whole zone, whose damage grows with their missing health.
- Shield right before the CC
Cast Black Shield (E) on an ally right before CC hits them: while it holds, it blocks disabling and immobilizing CC and absorbs magic damage.
- Stay in range of your chains
After Soul Shackles (R), stay in range of the chained enemies: those who haven't broken their chain by the end are damaged and stunned.
Playing against Blitzcrank
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay behind your minions
Stay behind your minions: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, so one minion is enough to block it.
- Step up after a missed grab
Step up when Rocket Grab (Q) misses you: it has a 20 to 16 second cooldown, and without it he has to walk up to you with Overdrive (W).
- Respect his level 2
Once he hits level 2, don't push far from your tower without vision of his brushes: Rocket Grab (Q) into Power Fist (E) knocks you into the air among his allies.
- Take the grab for your carry
If you're tanky, stand in front of your carry: Rocket Grab (Q) catches the first enemy hit, and it's better if that's you.
- Don't count on a shield
Near him, don't count on a shield: Static Field (R) destroys nearby enemies' shields and silences them.
