Riot, where is Corki suppose to be now?

Rew711·May 26, 2015·2 votes·361 views

Corki's whole kit is skill shots. He deals bonus damage. These things are all true, but how is he suppose to compete?

His Q costs over 100 mana.

His W costs 100 mana.

His R deals less damage than his regular AA on level 1. And tickles enemies in late game.

Corki doesn't scale in MR.

Please buff him, somewhere.

Allow his R to deal 120/200/280 damage.

Allow his R's AD to scale 0.3/0.4/0.5.

Let his W's duration last more than 1 second.

Allow his E armor reduction to last 3 seconds.

Allow his Q to reveal stealth.

Please...

I've had other players say he's a weak adc and there are better, honestly.

they need to make his Q / R deal physical damage so you can build pen on him

And trash his OP mid game? His high point is the one item item 3078 , which if he gets on schedule he is brokenly OP for a time due to high mixed damage and turret wrecking power.

Having the same build path and power curve on every AD Carry is boring.

Hint Its not for their mid game.

Some times? Very much yes you do pick for mid game. And if they are only ever picked for late game, the marksmen as a class would be in dire need of a rework.

He's has a strong mid-game, can bully relatively well, and works well in siege/poke team compositions.

He's difficult to build against in the early and mid game since he deals a good mix of physical, magical, and true damage while having armor reduction.

Looking at your last game, your issue might be that you ignored Trinity Force in favour of Essence Reaver -> Bloodthirster -> Infinity Edge. Trinity Force is the core item for Corki and he doesn't really have to worry overly much about mana with proper management. In addition, by stacking AD without attack speed or critical strike chance, you lacked multiplicative scaling which ADCs take advantage of.

Your runes are also horrible, which can weaken your early game pressure. This will delay your mid-game powerspike and lower your ability to bully opponents early-game.
