Lifesteal quints got nerfed as well.

She practically wins no match ups and the only thing she can do is to pray and hope her lane opponent is bad. morg has enough teamfight power and utility that she doesn't need to "win" mid many times. Lets also be honest, in pro play there are very few 1v1 mid kills or someone getting straight pooped on and being unable to lane. Its a lot of roaming, coordinated ganks, and team movement, which morg can do pretty well. I'm not saying she's a good mid pick but she can be safe and supports ganks well and contributes a lot in teamfighting. Her teamfight is actually not that great, at least not damage-wise. She is better as a support because she gets the same amount of CC without the amount of farm requirement. She wasn't too strong prior to season 4 due to global gold too little for her to get a Zhonya. Her teamfight is still great with a whole shit tonne of damage(.9 AP on Q! 750+ 1.5 AP on R!, 500+1.6 on W if you can get someone to stand in it). She just can't afford to level her primary team fight ability up because if you're mid lane you have to wave clear which means she needs points in W. But at the same time her wave clear sucks anyway because W doesn't hard clear waves. Back in Season 2 when no almost no mids had strong wave clear and she could just AFK farm mid then Wraiths then mid then wraiths then maybe go gank a lane she was super strong. But now she is definitely better as a support. She can level her engage ability and her shield and still build a decent amount of damage. She could be OK in mid, but knowing when you've got enough points in W so you can start leveling Q for fights takes a lot of getting used to and still leaves you with a weird hard to use power spike
Listing her ratios is extremely misleading when you do not consider the manner which she delivers the damage.
Her W is over 5 seconds and I giggled at the 1.6 AP ratio you listed on her W (check her wiki and come back). Her Q is a line collision skillshot and her R has very short range + requires tether maintenance. Overall, she either:
1. Can only throw her skills at a tank, because she has no Flash, or
2. She flashes in and hopefully catches someone squishy on the edge, then forced to Zhonya, keeping her unable to move.
Overall her ratio is extremely bad. Not to mention with her W changes she cannot very effectively shove the lane until level 7 and every other mid laner and their mothers can out trade her with ease.
Morgana mid is not good at all. She was only good when her W had MR reduction and every other mid laner also played the shove-the-lane style.

Riot putting a stop to foreign imports. http://na.lolesports.com/articles/interregional-movement-and-expansion-tournament
Key things to point out: No current LCS or CS teams will be affected (with the exception of maybe Coast; I'm not entirely sure how their recent Korean imports will fare; it depends on what their jungler is classified as). We also don't yet know the residency requirements, which should be released next week.

NALCS confirmed for welfare league for starving NA pros.

The American economy started out because there were tariffs. The same level of protectionism is applied to NALCS with this policy.

This change also means CLG's ban from OGN is moot since it appears OGN also adopted this policy (though to what extent we don't know), meaning CLG can't play in OGN with their NA roster.

Yea...thats just false.
NA has been doing fine internally because of the modern LCS, but it has been going backwards internationally...just like how tariffs just hurt your own people as a whole to benefit a small segment of the population.

Man, OGN is missing out on all those foreign teams that could be part of their tourney.

But no one pushed safer than Morg She was virtually risk free as long as you had shield up
Sure Morde pushes waves like he was born for it, but he's probably going to die
I meant best as in overall I guess TF and Lux is pretty safe pushing too now that you mention it, but morg is easy mode, you don't even have to think

Black shield uptime was simply far, far too high to ever have a chance at killing a competent morg until much later in the game.
Also the ridiculous spellvamp(half a potion+ per W if you placed it right), and lack of AD mids helped a ton as well.
