How to beat Morgana as Lux: the early game

You out-range Morgana at every level — her Dark Binding is a slow single skillshot and if she misses it she has nothing, so bait it, punish the whiff with your own Q, and win the poke war outright. Her binding is slow and single-target, so stay off the line and punish every miss with the zone. Never throw your root into a raised shield: force it onto your carry first, then bind her on the beat afterwards and let your ADC take the window.
