Karma
Spellshield vs Continuous Harass and Overtime CC. Karma can easily poke freely and her only true CC, W has a 2-second tether, easily outlasting Spellshield or breaking it with the damage.
Talon
Always engage by running at her in a straight line to bait the easy binding from her and then dodge it with your E. After, go all in on her.
Zed
- Whenever Morgana casts her bind and it doesn’t hit you, shadow onto her and slash her a bit since she will have next to nothing in the way of fighting back.
- Morgana’s binding is ideal for halting your efforts if you ult onto her. To avoid being hit by it the moment you reappear you should bait her into casting it first and dodging it with your ult.
- Her Black Shield will be a minor thing in protecting her against you so you don’t need to worry about it or work around its cooldown.
Fizz
Whenever Morgana puts her binding on cooldown, go ham on her and just use everything since you will by default win that trade.
Don’t engage with her using Fizz’s E unless you are confident since you should be saving it to dodge Morgana’s binding. She can very easily kill you if you get yourself caught by it.
Vladimir
- Her Blackshield will negate the magic damage from Vladimir’s abilities but it will not negate the damage amplification from your ultimate.
- Save your pool for dodging her binding as it will not help at all against her ultimate. If you do get bound you can pool to at least avoid the damage of her Tormented Soil.
- Once you get some items going you should push extremely hard, you can push fast enough for Morgana’s pool to not kill the minions quick enough and will cause her to lose quite a few under the tower.
