I think the "you have to play aggressive to be better" has been severely overstated. If you have no idea what your limits are it helps, but after you've learned your limits and you keep acting dumb, someone who understands the matchup/game better is just going to take a massive dump on you. Example: After you play long enough, it starts to become more and more apparent when you've started to chase too far without having vision. The aggressive move is to continue chasing to get the kill, but it's also stupid as hell. Even if it works, your decision making is stupid and the risk vs the reward return is not the greatest once you've crossed a certain threshold. | ||

if you compare her to other "ap supports" like zyra, fiddle, annie then yes her damage and maybe also her initiation combo is less powerful but her shield is such a good tool to defend against CC of all sorts that she easily makes up for that. | ||

Honestly, Morgana is not a problem if you play at least one support that is well rounded. Plus, if you are playing Braum/Leona/Thresh you should be able to make up for her strong laning phase later on with your superior initiation and teamfight (less so for Thresh, but he has fewer laning issues against her). The real problem is that Riot has made it so those melee supports have become "standard" and just all-around strong support picks instead of the more well rounded champs like Lulu (Riot has seemed to abandon her here), Nami, and Zyra. Nami and Morgana are like the only support champions that aren't really dicked around by those lanes, and one happens to be very annoying to play against. | ||
