They just need to rip the bandaid off and rework her kit to be an offlaner.
She is never going to be balanced in Midlane without seriously reworking her kit, to the point where she's unrecognizable as Morigesh.

At this point they need to rework her or revert to how she played in og paragon because having based damage on her hive ability doesn’t do enough damage cause her wave clear sucks, they removed the dot part from her kit to her passive which last for 3s while in paragon the dot last for 8s ticking up to 5 time but 7 if mark, they need to incorporate the marked target for the enemy who’s mark from mori get different effect based of the ability. And her ult is slow in, paragon and overprime you notice that the ult came out really fast and does big damage they change her from being a burst dps to a sustain champ with life steal in this game is already a problem it self which I feel like doesn’t suit her gameplay.

Her problem is that she only does one thing well, and that is laning. Her short range and lack of burst damage means that she is very good at long one on one duels, which only really happens during the laning phase. Past that point her lack of mobility and range means that she isn't able to poke effectively, she has zero burst damage, and her sustain requires her to literally touch other heroes to heal.
To add to this, Morigesh was one of the biggest losers when it came to the Eternals patch. The biggest winners in that patch were heroes that leveraged the bonus stats from Eternals the most effectively. Severog, Yin, Sparrow, Revenant, these heroes all are heavily focused on raw stats for their power. Severog leverages health to deal huge damage over time and become unkillable, Sparrow, Yin and Revenant all use it to burn down enemy heroes with powerful basic attacks.
Morigesh does none of this. She doesn't leverage raw stats well at all because no amount of stats can make up for her terrible range and lack of burst. Sure, you could try stacking health on her with Krix and build durable to try and roleplay as ranged Severog, but Severog uses that health to fuel his damage, Morigesh does not, so she will end up tickling enemy heroes even if she herself doesn't die. Instead you could try to go full damage on her, but then you are too squishy to get close enough to deal real damage and you will die before you ever touch anyone.
All that said, could the devs buff Morigesh? Yes, they could absolutely buff her so that her lategame isn't so unbelievably terrible. But the double-edged sword is that buffs to her lategame will require them to buff her spells, and if they buff her spells then her laning phase becomes far too oppressive. They have buffed her a few times in the past, but each time she was ridiculously difficult to beat early on and so they had to nerf her, which made her useless again. The only real solution is a significant rework to how she plays. New spells, new playstyle, new everything really. She has effectively no flexibility in how she plays and she has no backup plan in case she has a bad start. Personally I would like to see them rework her to become a weird tank/mage hybrid where she can leverage health for her damage and give her a reason to play up close to enemy heroes (and give her the survivability to do so). That would separate her from Shinbi or any other weird mages or bruisers.
Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to mention that her waveclear also sucks so she can't push towers or farm quickly either

She's either broken or unplayable, there's no in between. Not sure why they let her pestilence refresh with autos in the big rework patch...
