The difference between Banshee's Veil and Black Shield is that multiple people can have Banshee's Veil and it has no time limit. Most melee engage champions do not have the capability to burst Banshee's Veil (e.g. Malphite) without either wasting their engage or blowing the surprise (obviously Malphite could just use his Seismic Charge). Black Shield lasts for 5 seconds (at most) and can only be used to protect one person. It probably lasts too long (maybe reduce the duration to 3 seconds; or have the duration scale e.g. 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 seconds) and maybe the shield strength is too high (they are addressing this early game, which is fair, because she should still be rewarded for investing points into this).

P.S. Morgana's entire design/theme is an enabler (a sub-classification of support). Riot is far more likely to nerf her burst (mage attributes) than they are to nerf her capability to assist her team - as they are currently doing. Making Black Shield a self-buff is a TERRIBLE idea.
