It's like how Karthus fills a niche, or Nidalee fills a niche, but we were still seeing them everywhere at some point. When the niche in question is popular, or even what defines the meta (as is the current "stall/clear" passive one), then its best champions become "standard", that's a normal thing. Leona isn't even being seen anymore because botlane moved away from the aggressive lane it was, and now the overall "stall, turtle, make picks if you can and otherwise counterinitiate rather than dive" is much better for champions with abilities such as both Thresh's and Braum's E and R. Nami to a lesser extent, because she isn't as tanky and her pick potential is weaker than Thresh's while her protection weaker than Braum's. Lantern will always make Thresh relevant, sure, but still would you rather have him or Karma to escape from ganks, protect your guy who waveclears from 1500 range away, and focus on picks over teamfights, at the moment? Except unlike my hypo, the support reality is that they are actually different niches. It is not like Lee and Elise who are basically the same niche, where you can argue they aren't explicitly op, just op do to this jungle meta. Thresh and Braum share little in common other than that they are less strong against Morgana than everyone else. But the majority of those everyone else beat Morgana, or do better against her than the hyper popular champions. Doesn't change the fact that to "address" Morgana you say we should "fix" them, when I'm arguing that they are themselves but a part of a wider symptom. Also Lulu support actually does pretty well against Morgana, especially early on, it's just that she's being hogged by the solo laners now. Sona and Karma do well too but (surprise!) they aren't exactly good in the current meta, they simply don't have the impact necesary (Karma) or are teamfight champions reliant on a very long cooldown (Sona). Zyra could fit the meta too but she gets blown up by a couple spells, contrary to Thresh/Braum (and Leona when people still tried going aggro). Note how something like Ziggs can both shape the supports needed (protection) while also weeding them out (2 Qs and an ult to kill a squishy). | ||

Morgana's 'best' counter is probably annie. In order for a champion to become support it has to meet a ton of criteria or hit very specific criteria that other champions can't offer without compromising themselves. Could you explain why you believe that annie is the best counter instead of another poke support champ? | ||

Annie is super strong vs Morgana since you can bait out her shield with Q (you can get the last stack with shield mid-air if Morg doesn't shield), timing shield vs Tibbers is also very very very hard. Additionally Annie's super high attack range makes it very easy to harass and bully around their botlane. | ||

Repeating the same flawed action is not going to make that action become flawless, it will always be flawed. Feel a lot of these teams are putting in crazy hours but aren't actually doing things productively or efficiently. There's no point practicing 13 hours a day if by doing so you retain only 5 hours of actual productive practice and the rest isn't processed or helping you.
