Here is the thing she isn't op. I know what your thinking she gets banned every game how could she not be op.

She gets banned in normal draft and low elo. Higher elo play doesn't ban her unless she is gonna mess up their comp. Elementz places her in tier 1, but that makes her competitive not overpowered.

She has also been nerfed several times none of which made her be banned less like Kassadin, Shaco and Rammus. Shaco and Rammus are probably tier 2 or 3 now, but low elo keeps banning them, because the bans update very slowly in people's minds.

No matter how many nerfs she gets it isn't gonna stop people from banning her, because people need to fill their three bans. I force my opponent to ban her when I get the ban, because I play Morgana and I know I can always beat one mid with caitlyn who is my main. I get an extra ban over my opponent in this way.

Unlike other ap mids which are high to moderate risk high reward in nature Morgana is low to moderate risk moderate reward in nature. An annie or malzahar that gets fed is gonna carry like no other. If Morgana gets fed she is gonna play her same game pretty much.

Think of her as the ultimate counterpick to mid lane rather than as some op champion riot refuses to nerf.

Another way to look at this is why should riot waste their time changing a champion they consider balanced when she never gets playtime anyway.
