Zilean vs Morgana Counter Pick

One hundred units of attack range separate them, 550 against 450, and that is a wide gap between two champions who both deal magic damage and both want to land a skillshot from safety. Zilean uses it, taking 56.7% across 639 games on patch 16.13.1, rated Easy, on a sample large enough to trust.

Dark Binding is the whole offensive premise on the other side, and a miss leaves Morgana at 450 range with only Tormented Shadow ticking on the ground. Zilean can stand outside that circle and still place Time Bomb, then double it through Rewind for a two-bomb stun on anyone who walks in. Her defensive answer is genuine: Black Shield absorbs magic damage and disabling effects, blanking both the damage and the stun on one ally. What it cannot cover is Chronoshift arriving after the fact, or Time Warp slowing Morgana as she walks in for Soul Shackles. Physically she is the tougher of the pair, 630 health and 25 armour at level one and 2,398 at eighteen against 574, 24 and 2,206, with both moving at 335, and Soul Siphon heals her whenever she damages champions or large monsters, so a poke war that never converts drifts slowly in her direction. Complexity ratings of 1 against 6 mean the recorded edge for Zilean is paid for in execution.
