I'd advice to not use hyperbolic arguments if not paired with irony...it just doesn't work

Dark Binding is a linear collision skillshot that roots, Zyra has a linear pass through root, Jana has a knock up, Thresh and Blitz have linear collision hooks, Annie and Taric targeted stuns and Nami an AoE stun...not an ultimate, just powerfull, but ok

Black Shield is arguably better than Kayle's ult, but that's more a Kayle and balance problem. Braum, Thresh, Jana or Karma also have great shields and defenses with plenty of utility (and there is allways Mikael's Crucible). More important, there is more than enought counterplay to Black Shield:

1) In botlane it is great against hard engage, ok against poke and mediocre against sustain.

2) It is a magic damage shield, which is both good and bad. Think of Jana vs Morgana, with both ADCs shielded trading AAs, Jana's protegee wins badly.

3) More on that line, there are enought poppular picks for other lanes that mesh with the Black Shield protection, like Kha'Zix, Rengar, Zed or Yasuo. Morgana shileds a carry, the physical damage burst assassins ignores the shield.

As a final note, "her two basic skills" coupled with the hyperbolic tone is counterproductive, as easily leads to "yes, two, because Tormented Soil is (not useless but) mediocre for support Morgana" counterargument.
