How to beat Morgana as Rakan: the early game

Morgana wins the early duel - her Q (Dark Binding) is a long root that hard-punishes your telegraphed W dash, so you must play cautiously and can't freely poke while she zones you off the wave with her damaging pool. Her binding catches you mid-leap, so approach along a line where a minion sits in the way. Heal off the chip in between, leap only once the binding is already spent, and keep your second dash ready so the pool never gets to finish the job.
