Since Morgana is free I gave her a shot and seemed real fun. Any advice for skill order and items?
I know Spectrum is gonna post too with something similar but anyway:
Runes: Mpen reds, MP5/lvl yellows, flat cooldown Blues, HP quints. This is the standard caster runes so there shouldn't be any worries here.
Masteries: 9/0/21. Once again standard caster masteries.
Summoner Spells: Flash/Ghost. Flash is awesome on Morgana, and Ghost is awesome overall.
Skill order: QWWEWR, then R > Q > W > E. More detailed: you want three points in Tormented Soil at lvl6, which allows you to nearly clear a lane by itself with some good last hits, but also isn't too costly in mana; a point in Black Shield to prevent harass, when you get it is situational (I get it at lvl2 when my lane opponent is zilean for example); A point in Dark Binding to harass with early on. A thing to know with Morgana is she is a complete mana hog: resource management is a crucial skill on her.
Items: Start with a Doran's Ring. It's way too good for you to not get it, and gives you a ton of things Morgana utterly LOVES - extra HP to survive in a lane, AP to harass with, and mana regen.
First trip back: evaluate your situation and what you got. If you are getting rocked, Boots + a second Doran's Ring can work.
Then you might want to build for a rod of Ages, right?
Wrong.
You're gonna build a Zhonya's Ring. Rod of Ages will be the second item you will build - since it gets better more quickly now you can sneak in another item before you get to building.
After these two and ungraded boots (Swiftness if you need speed, Sorcerer's if you need more power, Merc treads otherwise), it's situational. Build your defense item, then adapt to what the enemy got.
Playing: Take a side lane. Morgana is very good in all the positions in a sidelane: solo side, 1v2, 2v2, babysitter, and so on. Do not take mid with Morgana.
In a teamfight, you want to be the second one to enter the fray with your ult, but if you're the first, the way is: Black Shield on you > Flash > Soul Shackles > Zhonya active when your shield runs out > Hope your team is good.
Lichbane states that it doesn't stack with Sheen, and Triforce doesn't mention either Sheen or Lichbane, so I wasn't sure. I was swimming in oodles of cash and figured I'd sell my Void Staff for the Triforce.

rod of ages is nice. if you're farming well you may be better off rushing zhonya's for its active (which works with your ult). early catalyst, boots, get good with her snare. don't be specious with BS; the cooldown is long.
I love lane trundle
I've been going
-doran's shield
-merc treads (adjust as necessary)
-negatron cloak and chain mail (later build into atmas and banshees)
-sheen
-triforce
-finish the atmas and banshees

Got it . Thanks for the advice guys I will try to practice all of this when the server stops being dead.
Well I had been saving up for Trundle. But I was playing as Gragas since he was free, and it turns out that he is crazy fun. So Trundle may not be in the cards after all. Instead it might be Beerman.
why is morgana bad in mid. most people expect me to take it and usually I can get a kill with QW
I don't like Morgana in mid not because she's bad at it but because she's so much better on the sides.
Exactly. The reason she's so much better on the sides by the way is you have much better brush cover and much more room to get around creeps and hit your opponents with your Q. It's not that Morgana can't win mid, it's just much harder to hit her skillshots there.
Also she is pretty hard to gank with black shield and flash so she has no problem extending pretty far on the side lanes.

If it is for replays, all will be forgiven.

when you don't hit zhonya's and your ultimate out of order
:oops:
it was actually really, really funny when it happened
we were initiating on THEM and somehow i got scared and hit zhonya's
but that's what teleport is for

How it feels to be in September of 2010?
I think I've played everyone except Trundle at least once.
And I guess with the logic presented, we're still in September.
Are we in a time paradox?

I think I've at least played a botmatch with all the others to test/memorize their abilities, if that counts.
he was free the first week I started playing, which was back at the beginning of october
