How to beat Morgana as Taric: the early game

Morgana wins levels 1-3: a single Dark Binding into Tormented Shadow can delete you or your ADC, and Black Shield blanks your E stun, so play around dodging Q and don't walk into her W zone. Her shield absorbs the stun outright, so force it onto your carry before you commit. Keep the link up in the meantime, wind up on the beat afterwards, and spend heal charges on the pool chip rather than saving all three for a burst that never comes.
