Morphling opens with Adaptive Strike, a single-target projectile that stuns, and Waveform makes him invulnerable while he repositions. Attribute Shift pulls points from Strength into Agility, so a damage-heavy build leaves a thin frame. Blocking or silencing the opening cast removes the stun, and a disable that lands once Waveform is on cooldown catches him in place.
Counter items
Linken's SphereSpellblock can absorb the targeted Adaptive Strike stun.
Orchid MalevolenceA 5 second silence locks Waveform and Adaptive Strike out of reach.
Abyssal BladeOverwhelm stuns for 1.6 seconds when Waveform is on cooldown.
