1.450 Auto range is short enough that most ADCs can auto her with impunity, as well as every support Winthur is listing as a counterpick. With zero auto steroids, she loses any well executed auto-trade with literally everyone on that list except Janna(who needs shield to make the trade decisive, which isn't saying much for Morgana).

2.Thresh has the same auto range as Morgana, but has a 'melee speed' auto, a charge-based steroid and a scaling steroid on his autos. As such, when comparing the two, saying that Morgana can "auto attack at relative safety since she is ranged" while Thresh has to "sit back and do absolutely nothing until it's cooldown is back up" is so biased, you might as well be saying that in D&D 3.5, a monk can beat a wizard at high optimization.

3.Point #2 was ignoring flay's active. Seriously, did you forget about this skill? Its a *REALLY* good skill in its own right, and most good Thresh players will typically open with it in lane for better engage, only using hook to catch fleeing opponents after they've run through his ult. Without binding, puddle is useless on Morgana. Without hook, Thresh *STILL* has Flay and all the pain that brings.
