Track: Morgana's Q — Dark Binding (10s cooldown). The three-second root — minion-block it; the pool follows wherever it lands.
Read from Poppy's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Morgana.
This is Poppy's own plan; across 1,749 pooled games the lane is leaning Poppy.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Morgana | Morgana's Q Dark Binding out-ranges your engage at level 1. |
| Level 2 | Morgana | At level 2 her Q root plus W pool zones you off the wave. |
| Level 3 | Morgana | Level 3 max-Q and Black Shield shut down your step-ups. |
| Levels 4-5 | Morgana | Through 4-5 her Q range and E shield keep you from landing E safely. |
| Level 6 | Morgana | At 6 your R interrupts her Soul Shackles and flips her all-in. |
| First item | Poppy | With first item you can eat a wasted Q and E her into a wall. |
| Two+ items | Poppy | In 2+ item fights your R and W zoning deny her ult and your pins start picks. |
Morgana dominates levels 1-2: her Q Dark Binding out-ranges your engage and her W pool zones you, and E Black Shield can pre-empt your only pin, so respect her Q cooldown. Her shield cancels the stun on your charge, so force it onto your carry before you commit. Fight near the lane edge, charge her into the wall on the beat afterwards, and keep the stop-dash for her follow-up rather than spending it on chip.
