Very Old Corki Ability Effectiveness and other Modifications

Long time ago before I played League of Legends, I was watching videos from a Youtuber named ColdTurkey, whom has quit Youtube a long time ago, played a video about his gameplays as Corki. Looking at how he is played and hearing what ColdTurkey has discussed about his abilities, he has been nerfed really hard. Although he does have some buffs to make him more efficient, I feel he still needs a little more work on being as good as the rest of the champion roster.

His Phosphorus Bomb use to reveal stealth champions. Now it's just a ball that lands on people to reveal bushes. Though it serves as a good harassment tool, it just doesn't seem to fulfill its purpose well enough. I feel they should bring back the stealth reveal capability so that the ability is more effective against counter ambushes.

Valkyrie use to have a very long range. They can either bring that back or make him untargetable when using it. Fizz uses Playful/Trickster to be untargetable but even if he's on top of his trident, he's still not as high as Corki when he uses Valkyrie. It doesn't make sense for the higher person to targetable, especially by crowd control abilities.

Gatling Gun could use better looks and sounds. The duration change is good. But the ability could use yellow bullets instead of white. I'm not sure if the armor penetration is working though. It's mostly just spraying tiny bits of damage. I think it should have an attack speed passive or have all abilities not hinder your movement once it is active.

Missile Barrage is fine. It's just that the way it appears when it is used, it still could use some visual work. It still looks like the rockets are coming out of the machine gun and not the side of his chopper. Maybe make it have similar controls to Lulu 's Glitterlance how the bolts come from her and her fairy, Pix. Only just make him still shoot one missile at a time, switching to each side as it is used.

Hextech Shrapnel Shells should be fine. It's just that his attack speed is a bit too low to make it effective.

All these suggestions, they don't all have to be used. Just at least one of them.

But, before you do anything to his abilities, he should get some visual updates as well. I'm glad they did something to the effects. Keep working on it.

Phosphorus Bomb used to reveal EVERYTHING stealthed.

Valkyrie, if i'm correct, was nerfed because it was long before mobility-creep. Back then Riot wasn't sure if they should give champion such great power of running away.

Gatling Gun was buffed.. But not sure there. It used to deal very low damage, but shred armor bit more

Missle Barrage comparing to other low CD skills of new champions is kinda plain and weak.

Corki is just fine power wise, imo.

The video you saw sounds likely from the era of "Holy Trinity of ADC" Graves Ezreal Corki and literally no else was viable, he doesn't need to be that strong and is by no means a weak pick, imo.

The video I talked about was waaaayyyy before Graves 's was in the League. It was even before Caitlyn came out.
