Context & Notes

1) Riot Maple noted a micropatch nerf for Morgana coming soon:

"We're going to be looking at a balance micropatch nerf for Morgana today. We're really happy that we hit one of our primary goals of making her viable in the jungle without losing viability mid/support, but she's doing a bit too well atm"
