Actually she doesn't counter her as well as it seems. Simply because LeBlanc can burst her shield down with ease if she just gets 1 level of it early like most Morgana's do. So Morgana will still end up silenced. You can't put more levels into shield early without either sacrificing your main source of damage Q, making you a useless passive farm machine early/mid game, or not leveling your Tormented Soil, which will be your main source of cs and without which you just wouldn't be Morgana. It's pretty easy to bait the shield out of her too, and then she's vulnerable for the next several seconds. Remember, your Q has a 6 second base CD while her E has a 10 second period before which it can be active again. Morgana's Q isn't going to instagib LeBlanc either. If Morgana and LeBlanc end up trading with Morgana's Q/W and LeBlanc's Q/E, Leblanc would win the exchange by virtue of more damage, unless you feel standing on Tormented Soil is a good strategy or something. You can also simply wait until she uses her W on creeps before engaging to make sure you win the exchange. Combine that with the fact that LeBlanc has an easier time harassing her because her main source of damage isn't a skillshot and you shouldn't lose the lane as LB unless you're terrible at predicting/dodging skillshots. Know this through personal experience, beaten Morgana's mid with her.
