At a glance

Do

  • Shield the carry's biggest chip moments
  • Dodge the root behind minions
  • Veto the all-in their poke earns

Don't

How to beat Morgana as Janna: the early game

Morgana runs levels 1-4 on the back of Dark Binding. A single landed Q roots you 2.5s+ into her W pool and can end the lane before your kit does anything, so play safe, respect the hook, and don't walk up in a straight line. Black Shield also blanks your Q slow, so your poke value is low; concede the CS lead and survive. One landed binding is the whole matchup, so keep a minion in the path of it at all times and never stand in line with your carry. Shield through the pool. Hold the tornado for the moment the binding is spent, and push the wave while she waits for it.
