| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Morgana | Morgana's long Dark Binding root shuts down your L1 engage attempts, keeping her ahead. |
| Level 2 | Morgana | At L2 her Q root plus W zone deny your knockup trade, favouring her. |
| Level 3 | Morgana | Black Shield at L3 pre-negates your CC, so she controls the lane. |
| Levels 4-5 | Morgana | Through L4-5 her root-and-shield combo out-duels your engage, keeping her favoured. |
| Level 6 | Morgana | At L6 Black Shield hard-counters your R dive CC, so she wins the spike. |
| First item | Morgana | First-item shield uptime keeps your engages neutralised, favouring her. |
| Two+ items | Morgana | Late, E and R uptime out-value your single-target pick, so Morgana stays ahead. |
L1-2 Morgana holds a 2.5s Dark Binding root and her W zones the wave; if she lands Q as you approach you eat W damage while unable to combo, so you must dodge her skillshot to have any threat.
