Morgana vs Zilean Counter Pick
Matchup Summary
What the Data Means
Morgana, the Fallen, meets Zilean, the Chronokeeper, in the Support lane. 656 tracked games on 16.13.1 put Morgana at a 43.9% win rate into Zilean. Sitting 6.1 points below the 50% line marks Zilean as a genuine problem pick for Morgana.
Both sides lean magic, meaning Zilean and Morgana shop from the same defensive shelf. Morgana opens on 630 health and 25 armour, Zilean on 574 and 24. Morgana scales to 2398 health by 18 while Zilean reaches 2206. Base attack damage is 56 against 52, so Morgana wins the raw auto-attack exchange.
Watch the cooldowns that swing it: Morgana’s Dark Binding (Q) against Zilean’s Time Warp (E). Level six shifts things: Soul Shackles on one side, Chronoshift on the other.
Both champions are ranged (Morgana at 450, Zilean at 550), so the lane is decided by cooldowns rather than reach.
Zilean is the more demanding of the two to pilot (6/10 versus 1/10), which quietly shapes the win rate. The page tracks Morgana against Zilean continuously rather than freezing on one patch.
