Guide to Countering Morgana as Varus

Tips for Playing as Varus against Morgana

Try to take advantage of Piercing Arrow's very long range to snipe at enemy champions before a fight or as they're trying to flee.

An early point in Blighted Quiver helps harass enemy champions and get killing blows on minions.

During short range fights it's sometimes best to fire Piercing Arrow quickly, rather than charging it to full power.

Advice to Win Against Morgana

Tormented Shadow deals tons of damage to units missing large amounts of Health. When low on Health, be wary of Morgana's attempts to trap you within its reach.

Black Shield makes Morgana immune to disabling effects, but can be broken with magic damage.

Morgana often needs to land Dark Binding to setup her other attacks. Use your minions as shields against Dark Binding.
