I'll keep the conversation going here, since I can't reply to the old comment anymore.

@ HeresyHorus I strongly disagree with your opinion. Banshee's Veil works in a similar fashion to Morgana's Black Shield, and it got nerfed because it was deemed too strong. Now look at the 40s it takes to refresh a BV, and the 15s cooldown of a rank 5 Black Shield (not even taking the obligatory cdr into account)

Except BS (quite the appropriate acronym) stop EVERYTHING. For 5 seconds. And 5s is enough for a whole team to get obliterated because they just can't CC the opposing carry. And focusing Morgana is rarely an option, since she sits in the backline/can R+Zhonya if you get too close.

I'll agree on one thing though, people at Riot don't know how to balance Mages, and when the nerfhammer drops on Morgana (which WILL happen), it won't be pretty. But if anything, not knowing how to balance a class and hating it are two very different things.

So yeah there are two ways to go about this : make Black Shield a self-buff, making Morgana an average support, or nerfing her ratios and bases. Which would make her an average solo champ and a still decent support. Not sure which option is the best.
