- Biography
- Story #1
- Story #2
Conflicted between her celestial and mortal natures, Morgana bound her wings to embrace humanity, and inflicts her pain and bitterness upon the dishonest and the corrupt. She rejects laws and traditions she believes are unjust, and fights for truth from the shadows of Demacia—even as others seek to repress it—by casting shields and chains of dark fire. More than anything else, Morgana truly believes that even the banished and outcast may one day rise again.
Whether through destiny or circumstance, Morgana and her sister were born to a world in conflict. The cataclysmic Rune Wars had ripped through most of Valoran and Shurima, and seemed poised to engulf even the peaks of Targon. Morgana’s parents, Mihira and Kilam, knew the legends of the great mountain granting divine power—they saw no other choice than to attempt the long and perilous journey, if their tribe was to be saved. Even when they learned Mihira was with child, they could not turn back. Finally, where Runeterra touches the stars, Kilam watched in wonder and fear as Mihira was chosen to embody the Aspect of Justice. The couple returned not only with the salvation they sought, but twin daughters—Morgana and Kayle. However, the celestial power that claimed Mihira began to overshadow her mortal personality and affections. She would often push the girls into their father’s arms, abandoning them to answer battle’s call. For many months, uncertainty gnawed at Kilam. The wars still raged on countless fronts, and his beloved wife was slipping away. Fearing for his daughters’ safety, he waited for Mihira to leave once more, then fled Targon with them both. Though their destination did not yet have a name, it would become known as a haven from magic and persecution: the kingdom of Demacia. There the twins grew different as day and night. While Kayle studied the settlement’s growing set of laws, dark-haired Morgana became troubled by their distrust of new arrivals. Knowing what it was to be a refugee, she wandered the wilds, talking to wayward mages and others cast out for the dangers they might bring. At home, she felt her father’s heartbreak at leaving Mihira behind, and grew bitter at her mother for causing such pain. Morgana’s fears that she and Kayle might carry some remnant of the Aspect’s power were eventually confirmed, when a great blade wreathed in shadow and starfire fell from the heavens. As it pierced the ground, splitting in two, feathered wings burst from the girls’ shoulders. Their father wept at the sight of them each taking up half of the weapon, and turned away even as Morgana reached out to comfort him. While Kayle embraced their new calling, rallying an order of judicators to enforce the laws, Morgana resented her gifts… until the night their settlement was raided. Kilam found himself surrounded as the fighting spread. In that moment, Morgana rushed to shield him, burning his attackers to ash. Together, the sisters saved countless lives, and were hailed as the Winged Protectors of Demacia. But Kayle grew more extreme in her ideologies, and Morgana increasingly found herself pleading the case of those who wanted to atone for their crimes. An accord was struck between the sisters and their mortal devotees—though it was uneasy, and did not last. Kayle’s most ardent disciple, Ronas, came to arrest Morgana herself. Attempting to protect her penitent followers, she shackled him with dark flame until he fell to the floor, dead. Divine fire lit the city from above as Kayle swore to bring Ronas’ killer to justice, and Morgana met her sister in the skies. They raised their blades, each matching the other with arcs of blinding light and burning darkness that lashed down at the buildings beneath them. It seemed certain that one of them would win… but Morgana faltered when she heard their father’s anguished voice. Kilam lay in the rubble, mortally wounded. Howling with grief, Morgana hurled her half of their mother’s sword at Kayle, and plunged to the surface like a meteorite. She cradled her father, cursing their inheritance for the destruction around them. Kayle landed, dumbstruck, and Morgana demanded to know if the smiting of wicked mortals included Kilam, whose crime was stealing them away from their mother. Kayle gave no answer, but soared into the heavens without looking back. Morgana’s wings became an inescapable reminder of her pain. She tried to cut them from her flesh, but could find no blade strong enough. Instead, she bound them with iron chains, resolving instead to walk the world of mortals. Over the centuries, her tale fell into myth, and the name Morgana was all but forgotten. To this day, the people of Demacia venerate “the Winged Protector,” but recall only the glory and truth of one sister, while Morgana’s dark outbursts and belief in personal redemption became the mysteries of “the Veiled One.” Through all of this, she still refuses to abandon those who would seek her aid. Bitter, betrayed, she bides her time in the kingdom’s shadows, knowing with certainty that Kayle’s light will someday return to Runeterra, and all will face her judgment. As magic begins to rise again, Morgana sees that dawn is nearly upon them. | |
"Only those you love can break your heart." |
CANTICLE OF THE WINGED SISTERS
An age of runes, a time of war. Born beneath the vault of stars, The world endured, and darkness lifted, A Sword of Flame birthed in lightning’s heart, Wings of gold and wings of jet, As the brightest light casts the deepest shadow, Toward the city of grand Zeffira, Kayle slew her foes in purest wrath. Trust, once broken, only slowly heals. A black shield of night stayed its edge. Accord was struck, a penitent’s pact. Kayle and Morgana. In Morgana’s face, Kayle saw herself reflected; Of Morgana, only myth remains. |

Patch History[]
W damage against non-epic monsters decreased.
Our buffs to jungle Morg in 11.8 were intended to shine a spotlight on her ability to jungle. Instead, it propelled Morgana to be more successful in the jungle than in her primary roles, so we’re adjusting accordingly.
W - Tormented Shadow
Patch 11.9
W damage against non-epic monsters decreased.
Although we still think she’s a great new addition to the jungle, our 11.8 buff to Morgana was stronger than intended, so we're partially walking it back.
W - Tormented Shadow
Patch 11.8
Jungle Champion Changes
Passive - Soul Siphon
W - Tormented Shadow
Patch 10.25
W DoT decreased later.
Morgana's DoT is making her too strong in her solo lane, especially as her opponents don't have the help of another body like in bot.
W - Tormented Shadow
Patch 10.16
Q cooldown decreased.
Bot lane has been awash with dive-heavy supports with strong CC, so we’re helping Morgana unshackle her potential as a promising counterpick.
Q - Dark Binding
Continuing with a third round of changes to diversify and widen the jungle champion pool. You'll notice that Morgana is getting a specific change to have her be viable in the jungle along buffs to her main roles. We're monitoring the effect of these changes to assure that they're not overwhelmingly affecting anything at the higher rungs of the skill ladder while also confirming that they are in fact fostering more diverse picks.
TWILIGHT ASSAULT MAXIMUM MONSTER DAMAGE : | [75/100/125/150/175] | |
⇒ | 120/140/160/180/200 |
Patch 9.14
R now provides true sight on stunned targets.
R - Soul Shackles
Patch 9.9
E cooldown increased and shield strength decreased.
Morgana’s still too strong even with the changes in 9.7. We’re targeting her shield this time so she (and her lane partner) is a bit more vulnerable when it's on cooldown.
E - Black Shield
COOLDOWN : | [23/21/19/17/15] | |
⇒ | 26/24/22/20/18 |
SHIELD STRENGTH : | [70/140/210/280/350] | |
⇒ | 60/120/180/240/300 |
Patch 9.7
Health regen growth decreased. W ratio decreased.
Lookin' good and feelin' fine. But maybe a little too fine, especially in mid. Trimming off some excess power from her update in 9.5. While we're aiming mainly at mid-lane Morg, support will also be affected.
Base Stats
W - Tormented Shadow
Kayle and Morgana are ready to take down the guilty. The sisters serve justice in Patch 9.5!
High-res versions of Kayle and Morgana's updated splash art are available on League Displays!v8.15
Base mana regen decreased. Black Shield cost increased.
In her other roles, Morgana's ability to spam spells is gated by the harsh mana scaling on her W, but as a support (where she maxes W last), she has too much lane consistency.
Base Stats
E - Black Shield
v8.9
25 mages have more mana regen and base mana, but less mana growth. 5 other mages have more mana regen.
These champions, while also affected by the Doran's Ring, don't tend to build any of the mana items we're touching this patch. So, we're only adjusting their mana regen, but leaving their base mana and mana growth untouched.
Click to expand |
---|
v7.24
Base mana regen increased; mana regen growth decreased. Passive no longer procs on small units but heals more off everything else. W cooldown reduced when passive procs.
Morgana's existing laning pattern is pretty uninspiring: Press W on wave, get health back, keep laning. We're sharpening that pattern to give her more clear success and failure cases, and give opponents better windows in which to punish her (or deny her lane sustain). Trimming back that generic power allows us to make solo lane Morgana a lot stronger when played well.
Base stats
Passive - Soul Siphon
W - Tormented Soil
v6.17
E cast range increased.
Able to play offense and defense, Morgana’s catch potential and Black Shield make her a valuable flex pick for multiple roles and compositions. We’re giving a small boost to Morg’s strategic expression to keep her in the discussion when teams are looking for utility.
E - Black Shield
In a world without mana potions (and generally less early mana regeneration), we've identified a few champions for some emergency rations, giving early mana boosts until they can get their footing and purchase items to make up the deficit. This also means we can really understand which champions relied on mana potions as a crutch to limp through the early to mid game, and we can give additional love if necessary. Mana Regen
- The following champs have +2.5 base mana regen per 5 seconds:
v5.18
Q mana cost down.
Just a light bump to reinforce Morgana’s pattern of fishing for Dark Bindings, especially for the supports out there working their mana overtime. Y’all the real MVP’s.
Q - Dark Binding
v5.9
Tormented Soil's damage is lowered at early ranks.
- "While Morgana's strong crowd control and top-tier denial tool in Black Shield make her fantastic for those looking to protect a priority target or pick off a straggler, they also toe the line of making her a 'fallen-angel-of-all-trades'. In the interest of keeping her strengths strong, we're limiting her early lane control with the powerhouse pushing of Tormented Soil so she isn't great in every situation."
v5.7
Morgana's abilities have updated looks and sounds.
- General
- AUDIO & VISUALS : Morgana's autoattack and ability SFX and VFX have been updated for her base and all skins! Check here for the full details.
- ICONS : Morgana has also received new ability icons!
v5.1
Mass Texture Rebalance (Part 5)
- "We're continuing our comprehensive pass at the game's older character textures. As with previous installments, our goal is to improve parity with newer releases and make sure everybody looks at home on the newly-updated Rift. At least two people said they're still reading this paragraph so we're gonna keep it!"
- TEXTURES : The following textures have been updated:
- Morgana
- Base, Blackthorn, Blade Mistress, Exiled, Sinful Succulence
- Volibear
- Base, Northern Storm, Thunder Lord
- Morgana
v4.14
Black Shield has a lower base and R doesn't nuke as hard.
- "Regardless of how she's played (as a mage or a support), Morgana brings a lot of utility and damage to the table, so we're looking to reduce some of her overall effectiveness. While we don't usually talk about specific changes in the context, reducing the base value on Black Shield means support Morgana will have to choose between the defense it provides and the offensive power she gets from leveling Dark Binding, while mage Morgana will be less affected with her AP ratios compensating at rank 1."
- E - Black Shield
- BASE SHIELD
95/160/225/290/355⇒ 70/140/210/280/350
- BASE SHIELD
- R - Soul Shackles
- BASE MAGIC DAMAGE
175/250/325⇒ 150/225/300 - TOTAL POSSIBLE MAGIC DAMAGE PER TARGET
350 / 500 / 650⇒ 300 / 450 / 600
- BASE MAGIC DAMAGE
v3.14 Context: Sometimes we want to adjust a champion's overall power without affecting their balance and functionality, we first look for ways to add gameplay and readability for their opponents. In Morgana's case, that means displaying the radius of Soul Shackles to both Morgana and her victims.
- R - Soul Shackles
- Now displays the leash radius to Morgana and her victims for the duration of the effect
v3.13
Summary: Morgana’s attack range, base attack speed, and basic attack animation have been improved across the board. Tormented Soil no longer reduces magic resistance per tick, instead it deals additional damage based on an enemy's missing health. Morgana should deal roughly the same amount of overall damage, although there’ll be some variation due to how the new Tormented Soil works.
Context: This change is more of a modernization of Morgana and her Tormented Soil by rewarding her for being continuously aggressive with landing her Dark Bindings. Specifically, we wanted to reinforce Morgana's standard damage combo of Dark Binding to Tormented Soil, rather than the "ideal" combo of using Tormented Soil's magic resistance reduction to make Dark Binding deal more damage.
