Can we buff back Corki's AP ratio's pls?

MorgManBasher··31 votes·12,761 views

A long while back you randomly nerfed Corki's AP ratios even though literally no one was building him AP, can we buff those back please?

I want to build things like item 3146 item 3157 item 3151 item 3285 and not feel like a troll.

item 3146 seems like an obviously good item for a champ like corki, but it's really not mostly because his AP ratios are garbage and crits just...crit.

item 3151 and item 3285 seem like good items to go for poking with rockets for their onhit effects but since his AP scaling is trash they aren't remotely worth it.

item 3157 would be nice since he's generally a mid laner and wants something for against assassins but again, you'd be trolling.

My prefered build for corki would be item 3078 item 3020 item 3146 item 3285 item 3151 item 3135 at least as a side build for a more poke build rather than crit for autos.

Or at the very least being able to just build a item 3146 without falling for a noob trap when you could just go a zeal item

Even though item 3135 is core on corki for the pen it still feels like wasted stats because the AP on it isn't put to good use.

I mean he could use some help, he's pretty garbage. Can't even remember the last time I even seen a corki

He isn't 'bad' per see, he is just a late game hyper carry with too much weakness/lack of priority early on to be popular and an efficient soloQ pick.

If you attaint his three item spike, the dude start to hurt like hell and his late game damage is monstruous.

I do feel the change on death dance is gonna help the little guy.

Even in that role, he doesn't fit. His early game sucks, yet there are so many champions which will easily outscale him into the late game; Kai'Sa, or course, and Kassadin come to mind. While I'm happy that Kassadin is back, I'd really like my other pick from S7 back. Used to spam him & Corki, can't really say I've ever had more fun than those times in League.

He has a pretty niche role as a late game carry, nobody has his poke and he burst well while also having a good escape. Let's not pretend that because other hyper carry exist and some are better, it explain why he is unpopular.

He is weak early, it is just his problem and when he isn't that weak, he get pick mid.

Other hyper carries being better is exactly why he's popular. Suppose you have two products, A & B. They perform the same role, just in slightly differing ways. However, B does so significantly more reliably than A. Which are you picking?

Rather unlikely that he's going to buy it early enough for that to be any more than a buff to his lategame, but since lategame isn't his issue, he's just going to remain garbage for now.

The day crit was removed from Triforce was the last day I saw a Corki.

When a champion has an awful pick and win rate, you know that champion is too weak. Buff Corki!

Kog'maw too pls. His AP ratios could use some buffs.

i feel like his Q should act as a graves smoke that way its safer for him to use his E lol

on a side not i always saw him as a caster like ez rather than using auto attackks

I mean at that point might as well build item 3100 instead of item 3078

Especially since you want to build magic pen because of his passive but you don't get much value from the AP part of magic pen items

Pretty sure he’s gonna be announced as next vgu but it would be nice for him to be buffed while he waits for rework

I wouldn't recommend building corki AP. He benefits too much off of ad itemization.

Thats the point

I'm trying to say, the only thing you'd get from ap corki are his skillshots. His skillshots already scale off of AD. So you're sacrificing your AA's in return for something that's already given to you. That's your point?

I’d like buffs to his ap ratios so it would feel better getting void or morellos depending on which you’d need because buying the armor pen items feels even worse already, and the ap defense items are pretty nice in certain situations

you sure it doesn't affect his AD build ?

I know he is in a weak state right now , but he is pretty broken if he reaches late game , he pretty much 1 or 2 shoots me somehow in late game while dashing half of the map , it's not fun while slowing me and knocking me a little and has some kind of magic damage

he was nerfed because he was impossible to itemize against and was breaking the game. it was not 'random'

AD corki was nerfed for those reasons, had nothing to do with the nerfs to his AP scaling which no one ever built.

you obviously don't remember when he was building hybrid builds.

He never did but okay. Only in aram did he ever go ap.

Been playing since season 2, always been high elo. Champ has pretty much always been full crit.

yeah okay buddy. i bet you remember every one of your matches played ever.

nobody's mad. you clearly don't remember when corky was building hybrid itemization and critting for 1k+scaling like a monster on his R

So we can have champion dealing sustained magic damage when this exists item 3135 item 3165 and also scale of items such as item 3155 item 3139 ? Hell yeah boi lets enjoy them no counterplay more please.

The Trent1 votes

I hope they give corki another rework. I'm sick of him getting nerfed 24/7 because the way his kit works. If he's ahead, he literally can just 3 shot you. I don't even mean ahead ahead, I just mean like he got trinity force and maybe one other item. The champion deserves more tbh.

TotalJerk1 votes

Those items are literally the exact reason he has bad AP ratios.
