How to Beat Pantheon as Morgana (Support)

While statistically Morgana is slightly stronger than Pantheon as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Morgana deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Pantheon deals mainly physical damage (88.55%), additional items against this damage type may be required against snowballing or aggressive play.

Consider the excellent vision control demonstrated by Pantheon, ranking 9th (versus 40th for Morgana) in ward placement among supports. This means the opponent provides better map vision for their team. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.0 versus 2.6) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Morgana Support versus Pantheon Support matchup

Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Morgana player to maintain constant pressure on Pantheon, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.

Morgana tips:

  • Shrewd use of Black Shield can determine the outcome of team fights.
  • Items that provide survivability allow Morgana to become extremely difficult to kill in conjunction with Black Shield and Soul Shackles.
  • Tormented Shadow is an excellent farming tool if you're by yourself in a lane.

Playing Against Pantheon

  • Pantheon's Aegis Assault makes him invulnerable from the front. Get behind him or wait it out.
  • Be careful near Pantheon if your health is low - a thrown Comet Spear executes low health enemies.
  • Grand Starfall gives several seconds of warning before Pantheon arrives. Use this time to get out of the way or to form a plan to deal with him.
