Morgana
Champions that beat Morgana
- Bardsupport
Cosmic Binding (Q) out-ranges Dark Binding (Q) when Morgana steps up to land it, and the wall-stun on her squishy frame is lethal. Tempered Fate (R) freezes her mid Soul Shackles (R) tether so the chain stun never resolves.
- Miliosupport
Milio kites at the back of the wave behind Warm Hugs (E) Move Speed shield and Cozy Campfire (W) range bonus lets the ADC poke from outside Dark Binding (Q) range. Breath of Life (R) cleanses Dark Binding (Q) root and Soul Shackles (R) tether before they tick.
- Sivirbot
Dark Binding (Q) is a 1300-range root that is Morgana's entire engage tool. Spell Shield (E) pre-emptively blocks the cast, refunds Sivir mana, and grants a move-speed burst — denying the only setup that lets Soul Shackles (R) chain stun connect.
- Sorakasupport
Soraka kites at the back of the wave and Astral Infusion (W) heal out-sustains Tormented Shadow (W) DPS pressure. Starcall (Q) silence breaks Dark Binding (Q) cast windows and Wish (R) global undoes Soul Shackles (R) burst execute attempts.
- Vel'Kozsupport
Plasma Fission (Q) splits to hit beyond Dark Binding (Q) range — Black Shield (E) blocks one cast per cycle so the second projectile lands. Organic Deconstruction (P) true damage burns through Black Shield (E) shield value and Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) executes.
- Xerathsupport
Arcanopulse (Q) at 1450 range out-ranges Dark Binding (Q) at 1300 — Black Shield (E) blocks one cast per cycle so the second Arcanopulse (Q) lands and bleeds the bot lane. Shocking Orb (E) stun cancels Soul Shackles (R) windup and Rite of the Arcane (R) global executes recalls.
- Yuumisupport
Yuumi attaches via You and Me! (W) and becomes untargetable, dodging Dark Binding (Q) cleanly. Without a Q hit Morgana has no pressure and Tormented Shadow (W) damage is too slow to force a real trade through Zoomies (E) shield plus heal.
Champions Morgana beats
- Alistarsupport
Dark Binding (Q) lands at 1300 range during Headbutt (W) windup, rooting Alistar inside his own dash. Black Shield (E) absorbs Pulverize (Q) knock-up entirely, and Tormented Shadow (W) pool out-pokes his short kit at 900 range.
- Amumusupport
Black Shield (E) blocks the Bandage Toss (Q) stun outright on the ADC for 5 seconds. Soul Shackles (R) zone covers her ADC during your Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) channel, and Dark Binding (Q) roots you mid Q approach for a free trade back.
- Blitzcranksupport
Black Shield (E) is the single hardest counter to a hook — it eats Rocket Grab (Q) entirely. Missed Q windows leave 16-20s of free aggression for Dark Binding (Q) plus Soul Shackles (R) chain crowd control to punish Blitzcrank.
- Briarjungle
Black Shield (E) blocks Head Rush (Q) stun and the Certain Death (R) fear, breaking Briar's engage window before Blood Frenzy (W) ramps. Dark Binding (Q) root locks her mid-Frenzy and Soul Shackles (R) chains AOE CC on the dive.
- Elisesupport
Black Shield (E) eats Cocoon (E) stun completely. Without the cocoon Elise has no setup, and Dark Binding (Q) root chains lockdown before Spider Form (R) can swap. Soul Shackles (R) chains AOE CC if she dives.
- Fiddlestickssupport
Black Shield (E) absorbs Terrify (Q) fear and Crowstorm's first AOE tick of magic damage on the carry. Dark Binding (Q) root cancels Crowstorm (R) channel mid-cast, and Soul Shackles (R) chains AOE CC during the engage window.
- Hecarimjungle
Dark Binding (Q) root point-and-click locks Hecarim during Devastating Charge (E) ramp window — Warpath (P) speed scaling collapses when rooted. Soul Shackles (R) chain stun chases the disengage, and Black Shield (E) on the carry negates Onslaught of Shadows (R) fear.
- Ivernsupport
Black Shield (E) spell-shield blocks Rootcaller (Q) root completely, undoing the entire setup. Dark Binding (Q) point-and-click root cancels Ivern's cast window, and Soul Shackles (R) chain stun catches him without escape in Brushmaker (W) brush.
- Leonasupport
Black Shield (E) blocks Zenith Blade (E) root entirely — Leona flashes in for nothing. Dark Binding (Q) root chains Soul Shackles (R) AOE tether that finishes Leona inside her own engage, and Tormented Shadow (W) zones the all-in landing point.
- Malzaharmid
Black Shield (E) prevents Nether Grasp (R) channel from ever applying suppression. Cast it pre-emptively the moment Malzahar walks in range and the ultimate goes on cooldown for nothing while Malefic Visions (E) DOT also blocks during the shield window.
- Nautilussupport
Black Shield (E) pre-cast blocks Dredge Line (Q) hook entirely, removing Nautilus's only engage tool for 5+ seconds. Without Q his kit collapses to a melee bruiser with no gap-close and Dark Binding (Q) plus Soul Shackles (R) lock him down through Titan's Wrath (W).
- Poppysupport
Morgana's Black Shield blocks Poppy's Heroic Charge stun entirely — the dash connects but the wall-stun never procs, leaving Poppy stranded next to the ADC with no follow-up.
- Pykesupport
Morgana's Black Shield prevents Phantom Undertow stun on her ADC and blocks Bone Skewer's slow-on-pierce — without the lockdown chain, Pyke cannot reach Death From Below execute range.
- Rakansupport
Black Shield (E) blocks Grand Entrance (W) knock-up plus Battle Dance (E) jump CC chain in one cast — Rakan's flash-engage lands on a shielded carry who walks out and trades back. The Quickness (R) charm spread is also blocked, denying the kill the enemy bot lane is built around.
- Rellsupport
Morgana's Black Shield blocks the Ferromancy: Crash Down knock-up and the Magnet Storm pull entirely — Rell flashes in for nothing. Dark Binding root locks Rell during Mounted Up transformation cast,
- Renata Glascsupport
Morgana's Black Shield E blocks Handshake's initial root outright — no recast becomes available because the Q never connects. Dark Binding root locks Renata during the Hostile Takeover R cast windup, and Soul Shackles tether ult chains a stun during the Handshake recast attempt.
- Samirabot
Dark Binding (Q) is a 1300-range root that interrupts Wild Rush (E) mid-dash and Black Shield (E) on the enemy ADC absorbs the CC Samira's support sets up. Soul Shackles (R) chains a second stun if she walks up to channel Inferno Trigger (R).
- Shensupport
Black Shield (E) on the ADC blocks Shadow Dash (E) taunt entirely — Shen dashes in for nothing and his only lockdown tool is wasted on a 22s cooldown. Dark Binding (Q) catches Shen mid-Stand United (R) channel and cancels the global engage.
- Tahm Kenchsupport
Morgana's Dark Binding Q root lasts up to 3 seconds at max rank and hits Tahm before he can Abyssal Dive into range — he has no dash to dodge the long-channel projectile.
- Taricsupport
Morgana's Black Shield E on her ADC blocks Bastion-extended Dazzle E stun, breaking Taric's only hard crowd control. Dark Binding Q roots Taric out of Bastion W tether range, Tormented Shadow W chips him during the root,
- Vijungle
Dark Binding (Q) roots Vi for up to 2.25s before she can cast Cease and Desist (R), leaving her stuck without engage and without escape. Black Shield (E) on her ADC blocks the entire Vi knock-up CC chain and Soul Shackles (R) chains a stun back.
- Xin Zhaojungle
Dark Binding Q roots Xin Zhao for 3 seconds while he is charging in, stopping Wind Becomes Lightning plus E chain before it starts. Black Shield E protects Morgana's carry from his Q knockup CC, and Soul Shackles R chains AOE stun if Xin commits.
- Zacsupport
Black Shield E blocks Elastic Slingshot E knockup and the Stretching Strikes Q pull entirely — Zac flashes in for nothing. Dark Binding Q root catches Zac mid-charge windup, and Soul Shackles R chains AOE stun back during his exposed landing animation.
