So...Riot lets talk about Corki and Kalista and why are they being left in the dark?

So i was really exited for the patch 6.17 as the Riot announced the nerfs to stronger adc`s and the buffs for the weaker ones.

What i was really hoping to is that i would see both corki and kalista in this category of the weak adc and some potential buffs to them.

In the end after the patch 6.17 and slowly approaching to 6.18 i`m starting to feel somewhat dissapointed because i litterally didnt see any disscusions or threads about their state in the future from RIot or the community.

After seeing patch 6.17 my question of concern is this>

Why is Corki andKalista being ignored for many patches since they are constanly having the lowest winrates and playrates among the all adc champs for a very long time now?

And why are the champs like Jinx who had around 53% winrate before patch 6.17 and Draven who was constantlly around 50% winrate or higher were a bigger priority for buff over Kalista andCorki ?

This is the current state of this champs according to Champion gg. and u will see why im so confused!Both champs are sitting at 46% winrate and 1.2% playrate litterally on rock bottom and the worst state of this champions since they came out?

Im no hardcore main of these champs,but i do love them playing and personally i think they are really fun to play so i want opinions on them from boards and also about jinx buff and i want someone from Riot to come out and speak to me about the logic with the desicion to buff certain adc who actually never needed buff and why is Kalista Corki being left in the dark and what are the plans for them in the future if there is any?

As for the Draven he is like niche pick adc,u either stomp with him or u get stomped.Like only the expierience and good players wiil get out the best from him and that is why his winrate is always around 50%.As for Jinx i think she was always good pick for the adc especially now with the fervor mastery and if she lose the lane she will always be relevant in the late game.So im just afraid the her winrate and playrate dont go off the charts..

About ur main thing of Corki and Kalista i would also love to hear plans for them in the future from Riot since i dont remember seeing them at all in the bot lane and we all know they used to be strong picks in S5 and before and suddenly they just kind of dissapeared from bot lane...

Winrate doesnt mean shit and imo Jinx buffs are justifed becasue she was rarely played before the patch 6.17.

I don't know about corki but for kalista it's because atm it's worlds and they don't want to make bullshitlista lcs pick/ban atm.

Also kalista has a very overloaded kit and has too many things in it. THe utility is too high. Pros would abuse her if she's even a bit good.
