Is Morgana better when played alongside Bard?

There is no ideal companion for Morgana that will 100% of the time be her #1 ally. Yet, overall, Bard is a very typical companion for Morgana. By playing on the same side as Morgana, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 51.8%. This clearly indicates that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Morgana and Bard that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Bard has a much greater difficulty compared to Morgana. That means Morgana players need to be careful when enlisting Bard allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working alongside, Morgana players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to support your allies. Combined, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by bringing Morgana and Bard together, you will not be granting your other teammates much sustained damage output. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the skill of your Bard ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
