Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best counter to Morgana support?
Pyke — his stealth engage lets him commit before she has a chance to pre-emptively shield an ally.
Does Black Shield block everything?
Only the first crowd control effect it absorbs — pure damage and non-CC abilities still go through, so burst mages can still punish a shielded target.
Who counters Morgana?
Mobile, poke-based supports like Pyke and Senna who avoid needing to land CC directly through her shield.
Why is Morgana such a strong pick against hook supports?
Black Shield blocks the first incoming crowd control effect entirely — since hooks and stuns are almost the entire threat those champions bring, a well-timed shield removes it completely.
