Statistical Matchup Analysis

Morgana dominates the meta (13th most popular, 5.6% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Sona (2.9% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Identical tiers, different outcomes: Despite matching S-tier ratings, Morgana struggles with only 44.2% win rate. Sona's mechanics prove more effective in this particular confrontation. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Arcane Comet + Manaflow Band combination (49.5% win rate) plus optimal itemization Zhonya's Hourglass, Mikael's Blessing, Liandry's Torment, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 44.2% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Morgana's superior warding (1.01 wards/min, 2nd among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Damage doesn't equal wins: Morgana outputs more damage (539 vs 416/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Complete dominance by Sona: leads in both matchup win rate (55.8%) and KDA (3.00 vs 2.70, 8th vs 21st place). Morgana players need exceptional preparation to overcome this counter-pick.

How to Beat Sona as Morgana (Support)

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.

The magic damage that Morgana deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Sona deals primarily magic damage (78.37%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Morgana is superior vision control (ranked 2nd among supports) (versus 30th for Sona), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (3.0 versus 2.7) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.

Key aspects of the Morgana Support versus Sona Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Morgana player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Sona player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

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 Sona

  • Spread out when you see Sona so she can't make your entire team dance.
  • Kill Sona first, as she will heal up her team if left alone for too long.
