Please revert Corki's rework - Even the mains can't play him

Since patch 7.3 Corki was nerfed directly and indirectly multiple times. The nerfes were so bad his play rate is absymmal and his winrate plummeted in both roles.

If riot doesn't know or wants to balance Corki in a way that his mains can play him, then they should revert the rework.

We have to admit that the rework was a failure, because he was intended to be the magic damage marksman, however he became the roaming burster mid laner. Old Corki "the mid-game power spike marksman" was much healthier and balanced.

The true magic damage marksman are Ziggs and KogMaw.

What did we give up for the package ability?

Old corki had multiple build paths:

Standard Corki: item 3078 item 3153/item 3072 item 3020 item 3031 item 3035 item 3156

Magic Pen Corki: item 3078 item 3020 item 3151 item 3285 item 3135 item 3116

Rekkles physical focused build: item 3078item 3006 item 3153 item 3031 item 3035 item 3071

After the latest nerf there is only one viable build path : TF/IE/RFC/Void staff/Situational

We gave up 10% true damage on auto's, 20 armor pen from e, big base damage nerfs on Q,R, a flexible build path (could build ap situationaly), all of that for that little package gimmick. you can't tell with a straight face that you would prefer the package over these things.

The pride of Riot being right in their decisions, even when they are not, is more important than the viability of a champion.

I've been playing aram games trying to find a new champ to main, since I'm not comfortable playing corki in ranked now
