Morgana Tips and Tricks

Morgana is good at setting up picks around objectives thanks to her Q. Place vision around the map and wait for an immobile enemy to walk past before engaging on them. To avoid wasting your Q, look to engage after the enemy has used their dash or escape ability. If they’re holding on to it, walk up to them and bait it out. Aim your W so it covers as many minions as possible so you can push the wave quickly. When your W is doing work, run backwards so the enemy cannot poke or trade with you.
