Karma out-pokes Morgana comfortably: Inner Flame is wider, shorter-cooldown, and easier to land than Morgana's slow single-target Q. Just walk laterally to make Morgana's binding whiff and keep chipping her health. Morgana has no ally protection early beyond Black Shield, so Karma's constant Q pressure snowballs the lane.
