Smolder vs Morgana Matchup Summary

The Smolder vs Morgana matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Morgana wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Smolder's 16.7%, giving Morgana a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Smolder controls the early laning stage, but Morgana outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Smolder needs to press advantages before Morgana reaches their power spikes, while Morgana should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Morgana leads by 1.6s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Morgana has a strong advantage in this matchup. Smolder players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Morgana overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
