How to beat Morgana as Neeko: the early game

You beat Morgana early: her only threat is a slow Dark Binding Q, and if you sidestep it your Q poke and level-2 Q+E root win every trade before Black Shield exists. Keep moving unpredictably and she has no way to punish your step-ups. Her shield cancels your root outright, so force it onto your carry before you throw. Send yours through the wave on the beat afterwards, and use the clone to make her spend the shield on the wrong body entirely rather than on the one that matters.
