I feel like Corki does no damage anymore
Like I could be wrong but his damage just doesn't seem very impressive right now.

corki's damage was never impressive
did they already change triforce? :D

Leblanc has particularly bad defensive stats as the game goes on Corki is an adc who's got 3 different onhit items
Corki caught leblanc in jungle and dealt average damage
leblanc was somehow the same level as corki even though she'd normally go mid
Lot of his damage is magic or true damage, her armor from zhonya's isnt going to help much.
Leblanc had no hp items.

That was before his barrage of endless nerfs so the video isn't relevant

My point being he did insane damage at one point.
So trinity force got nerfed, and nobody is really talking about it, but all trinity force users are pretty bad atm, unless they have another build they can use. My advice is stop going tri/sorcshoes, trying something else instead, maybe Essence Reaver. Corki does have the lowest winrate among adcs atm, although it's probably because people are still rushing Triforce on him.

Triforce is still and probably will be the best item rush on Corki. I don't really get why people are assuming Corki will be bad with the new trinity force. I'll probably still build him like...

with tf he will gain a lot more attack speed. anyway corki was getting 70% crit with 3 items ignoring tf.
The triforce changes are actually going to nerf him. His core kit includes Triforce, but also essence reaver, and most people agree infinity edge is the next thing to go, it's in his standard build.
With essence reaver, you would get 40% CDR with tri force. For a total of 60% critical chance and 40% cdr.
Now that triforce loses 20% critical chance and gains 20% cDr, Corki is forced to abandon an extra 30% critical chance item (the attack speed/crit) why? because the max 40% Cdr can now be achieved with Essence reaver, triforce, and infinite edge. This leaves with a total of 40% critical chance and 40% CDR.
6.10: 60% critical chance, 40% CDR 6.11: 40% critical chance, 40% CDR
What's the problem? The critical chance is lowered significantly, BUT the attack speed on it has been increased greatly (15-40)
Now 40% critical chance on an adc is low, and at that point, the only other items to get more critical chance are from ATTACK SPEED items
This is a problem for corki, because he isn't an attack speed item ADC. There isn't even a single attack speed item on his recommended page (except for triforce). A poke mage adc with attack speed isn't a viable path.
So to get higher than 40% critical chance on Corki, you have to sacrifice damage in order to build attack speed. And thats a waste because you'll be adding more CDR (calculated in the values of the items) so you're spending gold on unnecessary stats, all in the name of more critical chance. Which was part of his kit.
Are all Trinity Force users bad? I didn't think Gangplank, Yasuo and Corki are the only Trinity Force users... And from my point of view, these are the only ones that will be affected negatively by the change.
Irelia, Jax, Udyr, Ezreal (the full damage build), Wukong, Vi and many other bruisers will benefit from this change. I prefer this item, that is amazing on 3 people and "meh" on the others, to be actually "good" for every champion that likes it.
With the TriForce change imminent, Meddler has stated that they're going to keep a very close eye on Corki or something along that line.
So much of his dmg moved to his package, tbh his package feels more like a ultimate now than his actual ult.
Corki used to be a tank shredder though right? Aren't we in a tank meta? Why is he doing poorly? I assumed the trinity force changes already took place and that was why his winrate was so low, but if that's not the case, then what's his problem?

The tri-force changes are still on pbe they haven't gone live yet.
Corki was never a good pick VS tanky teams: His DPS later in the game was always on the low side. He was good VS assassins and VS semi-tanky bruisers like Jax and Irelia.
I.E.: the reason corki has a low win rate is that there are a lot of tanks in the game right now, and a lot less assassins and a lot less "jax".

Corki's damage is weak now. This is because Tanks don't have to build armor to block his damage, they can just stack magic resist, become immune to the enemy mid laner, and tanks, and be buff against corki. This is why his damage multiplier of 1.1 on AA was implemented, to off balance that.
Unfortunately, Corki was moved from being a usually pick to a more situational pick, for example, if your team picks an all AD comp and you're an adc. Although this has balanced Corki's damage from the new itemizations, and passive, it was put Corki in the sidelines. Also, you don't see him output much damage like before because people pick him in non-situational moments, and his damage is easily blocked.
Think of it like this. An Adc that wants to block ADC damage, needs to sacrifice a damage item to buy Armor. With corki this isn't necessary, just buy Maw of Malmortius, you get damage And resistance against the enemy mage and Corki. Then buy Mercurial Scimitar, Corki's damage is practically useless on you, while you stack AD.
Want to become a tank ADC? Do you have a high life steal based build? Get Spirit Visage. You can 1v1 a mage as an adc now, even if the mage has void staff, the health from your life steal gets increased by 25% from spirits Visage's passive.
