Track: Morgana's Q — Dark Binding (10s cooldown). The three-second root — minion-block it; the pool follows wherever it lands.
Read from Tahm Kench's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Morgana.
This is Tahm Kench's own plan; across 2,686 pooled games the lane is leaning Morgana.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Level 1 is even because both of you are setup-reliant with no free damage. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is a skill check on dodging versus landing Dark Binding. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 stays even as her root threat and your dive threat cancel out. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 remain even with Black Shield trading against your CC engage. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because Soul Shackles and Devour disengage offset each other. |
| First item | Even / skill | First item is even as her shield-and-bind pattern matches your sustain-dive. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | Two items in stays even since fights hinge on who lands the first spell. |
Levels 1-3 come down to the Dark Binding skill check: if you dodge her Q you get a free W dive, but a landed root on you or your ADC swings the trade to her, so respect the missile and hug minions. Her shield absorbs the stun, so force it onto your carry before you start the count. Grey health covers the pool chip while you wait, and the tongue plus two autos on the beat afterwards ends the exchange before she can shield anyone again.
