Morgana and Kayle Receive Updates in League of Legends Patch 9.5
The latest League of Legends Patch 9.5 brought reworks for Morgana and Kayle. While Kayle underwent a major rework, Morgana’s abilities remained the same. However, she did receive visual updates to enhance her character model and ability effects to match the current visual standards of the game.
Potential Changes for Morgana’s Rework
According to a recent Reddit Q&A by Riot Games, the developers had considered making changes to Morgana as well. Riot’s senior champion designer August Browning mentioned a potential new passive ability that would have granted Morgana increased movement speed when damaging enemies or when her team immobilized enemies with crowd control. However, after gathering feedback from Morgana mains during player labs, this change was scrapped due to player dissatisfaction.
Riot also explored other possible changes for Morgana, such as extending the range of her auto-attacks against snared enemies, creating an evolved ultimate ability similar to Kayle’s, and adding a version of her current W ability that would deal critical damage to low-health enemies.
Morgana’s Kit Remains Unchanged
Rioter Mark “Scruffy” Yetter explained that despite the potential changes, the decision was made to keep Morgana’s kit intact. As one of the oldest and most-played champions in the game, it was important to respect the preferences of the players who enjoy playing Morgana in her current state.
Conclusion
With the reworks for both Morgana and Kayle now live, players can experience Morgana’s updated visuals and appreciate what could have been with the potential changes that were considered. Explore the new changes and enjoy playing the updated champions!
