[GAMEPLAY] Tri-Force Has An Unintended Interaction with Corki's Passive

As of patch 7.12, when Corki builds Trinity Force, The damage from the Spellblade passive applies incorrectly. As item 3078 says: "[Spellblade] deals 200% physical damage of base attack damage on hit." However, Corki's passive turns 80% of the damage from his basic attacks is converted to magic damage. The passive shouldn't affect on hit effects like item 3078, but Trinity Force's passive appears to be applying 80% of its damage as magic damage. I have tested the same interaction with item 3057, but Sheen does appear to apply only physical damage. This bug is critical to game health because nearly every build Corki includes a item 3078, and since Corki relies off of magic pen through items like item 3020, it is usually dealing more damage than intended. It also makes Itemizing against Corki harder because it reduces the effectiveness of armor. Considering that Corki's burst is usually somewhat evenly split between physical and magic damage, this makes his damage much more magic focused, which can disadvantage people who built armor against him.

As a result, Hextech Shrapnel Shells now interacts with attack modifiers like Trinity Force and Critical Strikes once again

That's the intended functionality.

The interaction with Sheen sounds like it might be bugged if it applying as physical damage.
