Zed vs Morgana Matchup Summary

The Zed vs Morgana matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 29 recent matches analyzed, Morgana wins with a 51.7% win rate compared to Zed's 48.3%, giving Morgana a 3.4 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Zed controls the early laning stage, but Morgana outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Zed 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 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. While Morgana is slightly favored, Zed can absolutely win this lane through smart trading patterns and wave management. Focus on playing around your cooldowns, conceding CS only when necessary, and capitalizing on Morgana's mistakes. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Farming
5.2Zed
4.8Morgana

Damage
875Zed
671Morgana
Zed heavily out-damages Morgana by 204 DMG/min, dominating both short trades and all-in fights. Morgana should avoid extended combat and instead focus on burst trade patterns — short engages followed by immediate disengagement — to avoid letting Zed's sustained damage advantage take over.
Economy
13,156Zed
11,363Morgana
Zed generates a commanding 1,793 more gold per game than Morgana. This substantial economic advantage means Zed consistently reaches key item breakpoints earlier, creating a compounding lead that grows throughout the game. Morgana should focus on cost-effective item choices and avoid unnecessary deaths to prevent falling further behind.
Utility
0.3Zed
1.4Morgana
Morgana brings significantly more crowd control than Zed, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute. This large utility gap makes Morgana far more valuable in setting up jungle ganks, controlling objectives, and locking down targets in team fights. Zed should invest in tenacity and position carefully to avoid being chain-CC'd.
Sustain
728Zed
746Morgana
Zed and Morgana have comparable sustain profiles, with only 18 HP/min separating their healing and damage mitigation. Neither champion can out-attrition the other in lane, so trades will be decided by burst potential and ability usage rather than sustain.

Best Zed Build Against Morgana

The top-performing core items for Zed against Morgana are Voltaic Cyclosword, Axiom Arc and Serpent's Fang.

Morgana late game win rateMorgana70.6%

Zed dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 75.0% win rate — a 50.0 percentage point lead over Morgana. This lopsided early game means Zed can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Morgana is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 70.6% win rate — 41.2 points above Zed. Extended games heavily favor Morgana, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Zed must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Morgana reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Morgana survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
