Can we nerf Corki please?

Even after his nerf, his burst is absolutely insane, especially early game. And you can't itemize against him thanks to his amazing mixed damage.

I played him like 3-4 times. I have to say I never deleted people that fast with an ad champion even without being fed. even I went with a weird build manamune after tf. and still deleted my lane opponent and enemy adc. in literally an auto and E->q which they can't react to.

The difference between Corki and other adc's with magic damage (like Ezreal for instance) is they only have good magic damage if they build AP. Corki usually doesn't build any AP at all (except sorc shoes) and he still has amazing magic damage.

I don't know why one would downvote this.

This is the reason why Corki is crowding out mages. He can have all the benefits of a mage (doing magic damage) while having the benefits of an ADC (lifesteal, crit, strong auto-attacks) without drawbacks. It is simply... absurd.

The bulk of Corki's damage is magical. Buy MR and his damage plummets.

Or by murdering the crap out of him in lane.

That always feels better.

He's like 70% magic damage. Stack MR and he can't nuke you. If he picked corki into a team that has at least 1 other ap carry he's going to be near worthless if your team builds mr against him.

He's got a 51-52% winrate, that's entirely acceptable. It's not like he's actually doing above average right now, so why nerf him?

except crowding all short-range mages out of lane.

The second part is likely intentional due to his hybrid nature.

The first, however, is probably not so much. Strong mid-game, sure, but not too strong :/

Please. I'm tired of building MR for an ADC.

AckelopeMar 16, 20161 votes

Building MR doesn't even do enough tbh, he still shreds it with his E and often builds crit so his autos will be doing a pretty hefty amount of physical dmg, since his passive increases his AA dmg by 10% still, but also converts to half magic dmg....

And that's why I wish his Q, E, and R dealt physical damage. Or at least his E and R. Also, there are fun counters I'd love to tell you guys about.

Ezreal who has just as good burst and if people can be good with Corki, he would be a great counter. Just as much burst but more frequent. Jhin because of his long range and he also has ton of burst moves. Varus is my last pick I'd use against him. Lots of burst and power.

It's amazing how retarded his new package is allowed to be. If you've watched pro matches you'd notice that the moment that warning goes off the entire enemy team immediately stops trying to make any offensive moves until it either wears off or Corki uses it. I used to spam him for a bit and my most memorable moment was brainlessly using the package into a group of 5 that had just got done doing dragon. Despite the fact that I died before I could cast any more spells, I got a quadra kill from the grave.

My main problem though is how he just does everything. He's a mobile-burst-dps-poke-mage-marksman-duelist-antitank hybrid with a passive that rivals the strongest ults in the game. It isn't uncommon for my bot ADC Corki to outright kill assassins that try to pounce on me without even being fed.

love how people are saying build mr and hes useless while his damage is barely a problem

ArakadiaMar 16, 20161 votes

And his gigantic dash on his passive....

The problem with corki us his ult range

Every game Corki. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

AeróMar 17, 20161 votes

Every game that has a corki in, from my experience, no matter how behind he is, he somehow always manages to have the highest damage done in the game in the post game statistics. That is not normal. Half the time, he gets the highest damage in game by an absurd margin.
