Corki Jungle Viable?

Hi, I know that I like to play jungle and there are many champions that can play it such as Lee Sin, J4, Volibear, Zac, Cho'Gath, Elise and many more. But one thing I know I haven't seen which I think is good is Corki jungle. You might say "Wow how is this viable Corki is an ADC not Jungler stupid idiot" but think about. Corki Jungle can be good. Think about it his Q and E can clear Jungle camps faster then someone like Lee Sin especially the Raptors. Here would be my suggested jungle route for Corki. Get a leash at Gromp and smite it ----------> then get your blue -------------> go to Murk Wolves and smite the big one --------------> Get the Raptor camp ------------> Get your red and smite it --------------> go back to base and get chilling smite -------------------> then it's up to you. Masteries are 21/9/0 Normal Corki build just get the Jungle items. Then you have Corki Jungle! Tell me what you think.

I'm not sure if it's viable in S5 jungle, but I recall my first time playing against one back in S3, and it wrecked me... on lee sin, no less. Dude just jumped me at my wolves after blue, somehow was already level 3, blew my ass up, then hunted me all game long. It was terrifying to the point where I banned corki for a week straight just because I didn't want to risk that bullshit catching on.

Last season, I ended up accidentally grabbing corki when we already had an ADC, so I decided to try it out for myself, and the results were similar the game I'd been on the receiving end of. For reasons that defy logic, Corki jungles stupidly fast (his E brings monsters into negative armor), and there's a number of build options you can put on him depending on how the game is going. I've run him a few more times since, and have yet to lose a game with him.

Not willing to try it in ranked only because I don't want to deal with the shitstorm I'd get from teammates, but at the very least as a normals fun setup I think he's quite workable. If you got really attached to him and could put together enough evidence and post it online that you could link your teammates to showing your capability, I really think he's got potential. Just gotta make sure your team packs on some CC, because you have to treat him as like a Kha'zix or Yi jungle, where his job is not to CC, but rather to provide heavy damage support, and his benefit is that he is able to apply that hurt from range.

See, you're recommending someone who can just AFK farm for life when Corki's just meant to stick on bot lane and poke hardcore. You're giving poking potential away for jungle clear and almost no CC to gank AND no gap closer (like most junglers have) and to top the cherry, he's an ADC; being extremely squishy in the jungle and when ganking. Other people will shut down Corki jg for free gold... no offense but Corki JG is not viable at all.

Easier said than done

And Twitch is a more viable ADC jungler, since he has stealth & slows, unlike Corki, who has nothing but damage.

Also found out about his Ult almost forgo0t about it w/ blue buff Corki is unstoppasble since his ult is on very short CD and only costs 20 mana
