Is Burst Morgana better than AP Morgana?
In our Season 3 damage simulator Burst Morgana does 2,082 combo-plus-autos damage at level 18 against 1900 HP / 75 armour / 50 MR, which is -9% versus AP Morgana, with 5,061 effective HP (+22%). That is a damage comparison, not a verdict: When the binding misses. It is a slow skillshot on a long cooldown, and everything else in the kit is a shield and a melee-range ultimate.
When should I play Burst Morgana?
Into a lane you can root. Black Shield still does its job for free, so the utility that justifies picking Morgana is not lost by building damage. Dark Binding is a three-second root at range, and Tormented Soil ticking behind a Deathcap on a rooted target is more damage than most mid laners land in a full combo.
