@Riot- Corki's Eventual AU and VU.
As a long time player and a proud owner of his UFO skin, I feel that Corki needs some polish and a tune up (heck, he looks similar to the Gnomish Flying Machines). He has an neat theme of being a pilot, squadron leader of the Screaming Yipsnakes, inventor/modifyer of his own R.O.F.L. Copter and a colleague of Heimerdinger which I think is up to be expressed in better ways, in what he says while just being played and how he interacts with other champions. His laugh and radio code talk must stay!
Interactions with other Yordles would be a must I feel, especially Heimerdinger. Some jokes or quotes about the good old days of Bandle City at least. A disparaging tone towards Rumble ('Whippersnapper!'). A complimentary view of Ziggs, as they both use explosives and so on. Perhaps even some praise of Jayce as a fellow inventor technophile.
Visually, he's...okay, epic mustache and all. His craft does seem a bit dinky even for a yordle though. His auto is a bit awkward I think, with a slightly off wind up and a particle that doesn't really convey his passive. His Q is a bit bland, his E doesn't seem to have the impact of other armor shredding abilities, and his R is not bad, just needs a tune up. His W is the worst offender though, with him LURCHING forward and dropping meatballs in his path. It's just not the graceful flight of an ace. I imagine it to be more of a whoosh! moment, with a more detailed fire spread, similar to Burnout or Equalizer.
There's a plethora of quotes and references he could have as well. To name some obvious sources- Airplane, Top Gun, Snakes on a Plane, Airforce One. He could taunt Cassiopeia with one. If he kills someone in melee range, he could say 'GET OFF OF MY PLANE.' When next to a friendly Victor, "Whats our vector, Victor?' At the beginning of a match- 'Red Leader, standing by' or 'Cleared for take off, chocks away!'
What would you guys and girls like to see? Riot, do you have any plans or ideas for him artistically and aurally?
