Updated Champion: Morgana

By Riot Cóndor [1]

We are about to finish the last update of Morgana, with everything and her dresses that she could now return, and very soon she will be more ready than ever to continue tormenting you!

Unlike most of our more recent work, Morgana's update was geared toward improving the readability of the Fallen Angel's visual appearance, so we focused on adjusting clarity within the game of her abilities. We enlarge the visual diameter of the particle Dark Spell to better match the actual size of your missile. Morgana players will now be able to better anticipate if their Q is going to hit or not and his enemies know where they need to move to avoid the attack. We also adjusted the Cursed Earth spell Cursed Earth to make it more visible in brush, as well as the Black Shield, so you know if the E is still in play or has disappeared. Lastly, we made some changes to Shackles of the Soul, adding visual and auditory signals that indicate when it is about to stun, as well as a unique sound when enemies have managed to escape the reach of its spell. To see the new effects of Morgana's abilities, just click on the videos above.

Family transcends all ties

Lastly, let's talk about another iconic League of Legends duo: Kayle and Morgana. The weather has been kind to Morgana, though not so kind to her sister Kayle. We will evolve the art of these two winged sisters with a new approach that will unite their narratives and give them a more solid place in the LoL universe.

As for her playability, Morgana has held up well over the years, so if we change anything, it would be a couple of tweaks to her passive or her W to better match her new theme. On the other hand, Kayle will receive major changes as a whole. We want to maintain Kayle's identity as a champion who starts out as a melee / ranged hybrid and, as the game progresses, grows into a long-range powerhouse imposing her holy judgment on anyone she deems unworthy. We not only want to maintain this identity; we want to hold on to it so that it is reflected not only in its statistics, but also in its entire theme.

The sisters are still quite far away, so watch for more information on their development on the next Map, due out early next year.
