Corki

MaeDoSan·Jan 30, 2016·2 votes·352 views

Corki was ,before the update a champion who had a mid game power spike with the trinity force and was weak late game compared to hyper carries like jinx vayne etc. After the patch it seems like corki instead of getting weaker keeps getting stronger as we progress towards late game. He has great escapes and engage potential with Valkyrie and his package ,poke with his ult and late game can one shot adcs . What did the devs have in mind and how are we supposed to deal with corki , beat him early or late game , because he seems strong in both these time frames ?

Corki's early game has never been that great. His power spike is around level 8 or so.

No, that's not true. He does perform a lot worse late game but of course he's still a carry and literally all he has is damage (no utility or CC is somewhat rare on champions). Check champion.gg or leagueofgraphs.com. A lot of that is based on the fact that his spells are not quite as meaningful late game when autos chunk for more on typical ADC builds. However, Corki doesn't have great AA steroids and he also can't itemize for penetration well because his autos are split damage. Thus, for the biggest damage source late game (autos), you're basically getting half value from a penetration item. He also just has a bursty kit rather than insane DPS but that falls off a bit in teamfights if you get proper peel and itemization. Corki excels in skirmish scenarios.

His winrate is highest early and goes linearly down the longer the game continues. He was probably just fed or you guys didn't build correctly. Every champion gets stronger late game and it's really about RELATIVE strength assuming equal gold. Corki is definitely good both mid and bot but he isn't overwhelming. Just pay attention to his spikes and Package sound. The best advice I can offer is to play him yourself and your opponents will eventually teach you how to counter him.

BTW: I wouldn't call a 26 CD 100 mana 650 range dash a "great escape." If you're talking about his enhanced W, that is pretty amazing but only every 5 minutes and he doesn't have long to use it.

His passive gives him a total of 110% AD damage which i guess is good enough because HALF is magic so u cant really itemize defensively against him (only armour or only mr wont work ) His gattling gun also gives bonus damage which is also mixed , so he doesnt need to build penetration cause everthing he does is mixed damage BTW : that 26 CD 100 mana 650 range dash , ya flash has a 425 range , u take flash every game don't u ? PS How can u say his abilities are useless when u say he is bursty obviously his abilites are doing the bursting since u say his auto attacks are weak , or did i get this wrong he's not bursty, beacuse he is . And his ult rockets are far from useless while sieging and are good and safe wave clear.

Lol, why do I even write a post if you clearly don't read it. There are so many wrong or misinterpreted things... I say abilities are useless? I said autos outscale abilities late game and compared to a Vayne, Twitch etc. Corki doesn't have the steroids to compete in AA range in terms of DPS. Having high burst isn't the same as having high DPS and in a teamfight, DPS wins out if you get peel.
