    • Anybody even use the Morgana Cape?

      Aside for a couple of meme fire builds (that rely on fast casts and fast stacks, which are not that prevalent, but can be seen in some 1v1 or 1vX PVP, or weird 1h Dagger Builds) - does anyone even use the cape?

      The cooldown feels atrocious (even though they reduced it a little recently), needs to be something along the lines of 30 sec, so you can at least use it twice in a fight... OR duration maybe buffed a little...

      I can see it being like 30-40 sec cooldown with current 8 sec buff, or maybe 10 sec buff with the current cooldown of 90-ish sec...

      Yeah, on paper this works, but I've never seen it outside of city duels and meme builds (maybe in group play where people run multiple Royal Jackets? PVE only?) the cooldown is an issue to be usable in PVP or even PVE consitently over other DPS options like Demon cape or Thetford, IMHO. I can maybe see it in 5v5, where you have a tank who says "engaging now" and you get to attack a stunned/immobile target for 8 sec with Morgana proc on a high DPS weapon...

      Again, never seen this ingame ever. Maybe 5v5 fights on Reg bow?

      Interesting...

      yeah the "benefits" are on paper, but with 90 sec CD its just too long to be useful in any form (PVE or PVP, as I mentioned a weird 5v5 comp build specifically around 1 guy using Morgana could be an exception, but building entire team around 1 item seems silly to me). Could even benefit holy healers who are in PVP "mode" on Smite, but I think even they don't use this cape...

      Pretty much any perma frost user in small scale or zvz will be running Morgana cape, unless they’re a potato. This alone gives it a lot of usage as perma is a staple clap weapon.
      Ah yes, I remember this now, when the Ice Shard skill got introduced 2 years ago, it was pretty OP. Makes sense. I guess Morgana Cape is pretty niche then, if only 1 class on one specific combo (Frost Q2) runs it in ZvZ/5v5/10v10



      (should be set to 11:22) - I died to this exact combo 2 years ago, but again, I don't remember as I never see this in OW anymore...

      I've tried running Morgana on Infernal Scythe, feels pretty underwhelming, there are better choices for 1v1 (and you only benefit from the attack speed, the cast time does nothing for a melee) , its "okayish" on a Bow, but makes you very vulnerable to initial engagement, as the cooldown is atrocious (any smart player will just block/run/purge/blink away and kite it out).

      IMHO cooldown should be shortened to something along the lines of 30-35 sec, so at least you have 1 more use out of it (assuming you can make the fight last past 30 sec) if something goes wrong.

      The cape balancing in general with all the recent mobility changes (buffs)/blocks/defensives make no sense. Some capes are on 15-30 cd and work really well. The capes that are 1-2-3 min CD just feel horrible to use...

    • there are uses, frost/1h dagger for pve/bow, Maybe the cooldown is too high but cant be something like 30s, it would be too oppressive.
      And you can use one morgana cape in the back and one in each arm and proc all togheter and it would still suck with scythe

    • just saying it will be super strong BUFF for first engage on weapons with super long cast time
      slight buff for weapons with Small cast time E but can take advantage of the remaining duration like frost


      I can see buffed morganas on mist piercer, brimstone, damnation, DPS frost - mainly permafrost

      and of course One shot Crossbow being main offender of this Buff
      they no longer need the scholar robe and can opt for some other robe. defensive or offensive

      pretty sure combo was scholar robe, royal hood (was mage cowl at one point), poison pot, sunder shot and Snipe E
      then miner workboots run away

      if they still use scholar robe then that snipe E is pretty much near instant
      (Still needs testing)

      as someone that loves normal crossbow, i think 1shot jumpscaring people is cringe and still im hoping for a more mechanically skill based way to play crossbow one day.

    • i only have seen 2 ways 1 shot crossbow have been played
      ganking jump scare and ZvZ one tap a target

      Honestly ranged weapons are weaker the larger the fight is due to Disarray and focus fire debuff
      and also in Solo play "Normal" fights where its much easier to spot that one shot and press defensives

      In a team fight or Open world
      Like you are full glass cannon and took out one target that may or may not be healer then what?
      Run away full reset? or use subpar skills to follow up?
      what can you do without defensives?


      Putting Those issues aside
      1 shot crossbow is unique in a sense as it provides crossbow line a different play style of "ganking"
      considering it has 3 ZvZ weapons. siege bow, weeping, energy shaper
      1 solo play versatile weapon. light xbow
      and 2 arena style weapons. heavy xbow and boltcasters
