Read from Morgana's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Poppy.
This is Morgana's own plan; across 1,749 pooled games the lane is leaning Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Morgana | Level 1 favors you — your W zone and Q range out-poke Poppy's melee kit. |
| Level 2 | Morgana | Level 2 stays yours as you out-trade her weak, wall-dependent early game. |
| Level 3 | Morgana | Level 3 remains Morgana-favoured with superior poke and pick threat. |
| Levels 4-5 | Morgana | By 4-5 Black Shield denies her E stun while you keep poking her down. |
| Level 6 | Morgana | At 6 your reliable Q-R lockdown outclasses her situational Keeper's Verdict. |
| First item | Morgana | First item extends your poke lead and shield fully neutralizes her engage. |
| Two+ items | Morgana | Late, you hard-control the 2v2 with range and shield against her melee peel kit. |
Levels 1-3 are yours: you out-range Poppy hard, zoning her off the wave with Tormented Shadow and threatening Dark Binding whenever she walks up to last-hit, while her Heroic Charge needs a wall to matter. You out-range her comfortably, so pool the ground she has to cross and zone her off the wave entirely. Keep the shield for her charge rather than her poke, hold open ground so it cannot stun, and hunt the binding whenever her stop-dash is unavailable.
