TOP 5 MORGANA COUNTERS SUPPORT

Morgana is a utility control support known for her Black Shield (E), long-range snare (Q), and anti-engage zoning with W and R. She excels at denying hard CC, punishing mispositioned enemies, and stalling engages with well-timed spell blocks and peel. Paired with immobile carries or scaling comps, Morgana becomes a safe, anti-engage support that buys time and shuts down predictable all-ins.

But Morgana also has long cooldowns, relies on landing skillshots, and becomes much easier to punish if Black Shield is broken or baited. She struggles against extended CC chains, early tempo aggression, and supports that roam or out-skirmish her on the map.

The top 5 counters to Morgana support are: Leona, Pantheon, Pyke, Zyra, and Alistar. These champions either layer CC to break her shield, outrange and poke her down, or dive past her peel to punish cooldown windows.

Top 5 Morgana Support Counters

1. Leona

• Playstyle: All-in tank engage
• Why it works:
  • Multiple stuns layered over time — she breaks through Black Shield with extended CC.
  • Morgana can't stop her engage once Leona commits with E + Q + R.
  • Punishes her for missing Q or stepping up too far for W poke.

Play Tips:

• Force trades at level 2 — you win any fight unless her ADC has peel.
• Save R for when Black Shield is down or to force it defensively.
• Chain Q and R stuns after E to break shield and lock down the carry.

2. Pantheon

• Playstyle: Burst engage support / lane bully
• Why it works:
  • Point-and-click W (Shield Vault) bypasses Black Shield’s aim dodge requirement.
  • Out-damages her early and denies her safe scaling.
  • Pressures her into wasting shield early or using it defensively.

Play Tips:

• Hard shove wave level 1 for level 2 all-in with W + Q.
• Bait her E by posturing — then collapse on her or her ADC with full combo.
• Use ult to rotate mid or dragon fights before she gets boots and zoning tools.

3. Pyke

• Playstyle: Pick reset assassin
• Why it works:
  • Can bait out Black Shield, then re-engage after it's used.
  • Ghostwater Dive + Hook makes him unpredictable in lane trades.
  • R (Death from Below) ignores shielding if executed — breaks her reset control.

Play Tips:

• Roam often — she can't match you or follow effectively.
• Look for hook angles when she tries to shield allies late — catch positioning mistakes.
• Save E for her ult — it cancels her tether and gets you out safely.

4. Zyra

• Playstyle: AP poke + zone control
• Why it works:
  • Out-pokes Morgana from range, forcing her to shield repeatedly.
  • Spawns plants that break her passive laning control.
  • Can disrupt and turn teamfights with R (Stranglethorns) — her ult isn’t enough to win trades.

Play Tips:

• Constantly poke with Q + E + plant combos — pressure her mana and shield cooldown.
• Punish her for stepping up with long-range roots while she’s casting W.
• Drop R immediately after her R in teamfights — reset zone control.

5. Alistar

• Playstyle: Tank engage / anti-CC frontliner
• Why it works:
  • CC chain (W + Q + Passive) forces Black Shield early, then punishes the cooldown.
  • R (Unbreakable Will) removes Morgana’s root or stun instantly.
  • He thrives in melee fights Morgana can’t control.

Play Tips:

• Don’t W + Q blindly — bait out her shield with presence, then punish.
• Roam with jungle after shoving wave — she has no speed or peel.
• Use R during her ult or q cc to break from cc and re-engage on her ADC.

Bonus Tips to Beat Morgana:

• Track her E cooldown — if it’s down, she’s incredibly vulnerable.
• Force extended fights — her Q cooldown is long, and she can’t keep up with layered CC.
• Sweep brushes and play front-footed — Morgana is strongest when unpressured in fog.
