Morgana's Binding is a lot stronger with a shorter cooldown until max rank. Targets hit by the second binding take a lot less damage as well. It even roots for longer as well scaling up from 2 seconds as opposed to being 2 seconds at all ranks.

What happens is this. Lux needs to land that Q to get her combo down and to deliver her damage as a mid lane support mage. Morgana is played as the anti Lux. She basically denies the teamfight winning combo and then gets into the middle of a team and locks them all down.

Who is the person that is more likely to win a teamfight for their allies? The mage with the extremely exclusive and powerful anti crowd control shield with One root and a potential team wide slow and stun. OR. One spell that can lock down two people and blast anyone standing in a line?

I'm not even saying Morgana is over powered. I'm just saying that Morgana is more of the play making mage than Lux.

There's quite a few mages that can wave clear easily and become untouchable in lane. I know for a fact that if a heimerdinger, Orianna, Vel'koz, or Viktor faced a Lux in lane she would be desperate to hold her lane against that sort of destructive power and equally powerful (but probably more cost effective) wave clear.

Sitting under tower is pretty funny too. With Elise and Kha'Zix who are looking to tower dive a helpless champ that would be the last thing you'd want to be forced into doing.
