MORIGESH OVERVIEW

Morigesh was teased on Mar-17 and revealed on Mar-30 of 2017. Ready to play on Apr-04.

She is most effective as a Mid Laner but occasionally can perform in the Offlane. Morigesh is a mix of a utility caster and a source of unavoidable, consistent damage.

Morigesh was designed to be a Hero with a global threat. Hence the ultimate.
“One of her design goals was to be a nuisance to people” – Andrew Bains (Epic Hero Designer)
She is a character you don’t want to spend much time around. Morigesh deals damage in a deceptive way. If you spend much time around her it might be too late.
Morigesh was primarily designed as a nuker. Though she has to put herself in danger in order to mark her target and deal damage.
Morigesh is a great early game lane bully. Her job is to win her lane early. A great combo is that yo use her Swarm ability to run through your enemy’s minions to close the distance to your lane opponent, then you mark them and smash a hive into their face and even if they damage you back with a Cosmic Rift or R2000 you still have your regen stacks. That what’s allow Morigesh to win those trades and win her lane early.

The last updates to Morigesh:

v41.0 (Jun-27 2017) – Mark and Hive were nerfed, Swarm was slightly buffed.
v40.0 (May-16 2017) – Ability armor (both base and per level) was decreased
v39.1 (Apr-11 2017) – Morigesh has received a nerf. She was so strong during early game that she was able to bully some carry+support duos. Show her abilities cost was increased and her mana pool was decreased.

MORIGESH LORE

Awakens each dawn with her body frozen, and the cries of the dead on her tongue.
Only kills that which can speak.
Narbash once gave her a pet frog; she asked no questions.
The original inhabitant of her body is long gone. – from the Twitter teaser of reveal trailer
Morigesh is a powerful spirit completely focused on destroying The Fey. The Bathuu, an ancient drowned forest of Zechin where Morigesh’s spirit resides has been in a conflict with the neighboring forest of Amyyrn, home of The Fey. The Amyyrn spirits sent The Fey into the world in order to stop the destruction of nature and Morigesh watched carefully, waiting for her time to act.
When The Fey traveled to Agora, Morigesh knew it was her time to strike. She found a woman who had wandered too close to the edge of the drowned forest and stole her body. With this new vessel, Morigesh went out into the world, sought out a portal to Agora and went through in pursuit of the Fey.
The code name of this Paragon Hero is “Mambo” which means – a voodoo priestess whose responsibility it is to preserve the rituals and songs and maintain the relationship between the spirits and the community as a whole.
