Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Morgana, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Zed wins 47.2% of 36 games (95% range 32.0–63.0%).
  • Both champions' overall Mid win rates predict 48.5% for Zed; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Zed usually wins the lane: 433 gold ahead of Morgana at 15 minutes on average (36 games with a 15-minute snapshot).
  • Zed players pick Crimson Lucidity much less often against Morgana: 55.5% of their other Mid games, 36.1% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Zed and Morgana played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Zed's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Zed Build vs Morgana

Usual Zed build (Mid)

65.4% win rate · 240 games

Against Morgana

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 4 of 20 Zed games against Morgana carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Zed's standard build instead.

  • Zed usually completes Voltaic Cyclosword first, at 11.0 min (median of 20 games).
  • Skill priority: Q > E > W — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
