small rant about corki ability scalings and damage
so i just had an ashe adc saying we needed ap damage in the team, because we're all supposedly ad, and corki was a bad pick because i built full ad and the enemy stacked armor
let's get this straight real quick ok?
AP does not = magic damage AD does not = attack damage
MR negates magic damage Armor negates attack damage
now, there are some abilities in the game where magic damage abilities do not just scale off AP, but AD as well. there are some abilities in fact, that scale off AD more than AP but still do magic damage
for corki, this holds true
Q scales off 50% AD and 50% AP, but still deals magic damage. building AD is better, i'll tell you why at the end W scales off 20% AP, and deals magic damage. still, building AD is better. i'll tell you why later Corki's package scales off a minimum of 150% AD, opposed to a minimum of 20% AP, again, still doing magic damage E scales off 10% AD, does physical damage and half magic damage, reducing the enemys MR and Armor, and ill explain later why AD is still much better R scales of 15/45/75% AD, and 20% AP, but the AP ratio does not increase. this also why AD corki is much better. Corki's other passive turns half the physical damage dealt into magic damage
now, all of corkis abilities deal magic damage, even his autos. just because i build fucking AD items doesnt mean that my abilities will not ignore the enemy Armor
AD corki is simply much better than AP corki because nearly all his abilities scale with AD, and if his autos crit, the magic damage is also affected by the crit. your w is ususally only used as an escape/engage and never keeps an enemy on it for long.
im sick of dimwits who think because i build AD, i must be doing physical damage. ranting is the only way to untilt myself thanks for reading
