About Corki

While I like this champion overall, I've found him to be extremely lacking in some departments. ADC's are in a sense supposed to be the anti-tanks of this game, keep them alive and they will eventually shred through the opposing tanks.

This is where I feel that Corki fails entirely, despite the armor shred on his E, that does wonders in lane early.

While most ADC's has a somewhat varied buildpath, Corki is pretty much the only one that is utterly dependat on building trinity first. His kit has such weak sustained damage that his burst must be emphesized to implement his strenghts, I find this detrimental as it shows a huge flaw in Corki as a marksman.

I have no complaints with his early game, but for a so called hypercarry, he sure scales horribly. He is excellent at bursting squishy targets, but utterly horrible vs Teams with a thick frontline, he is utterly dependant on his cooldowns and once all skills are spent his dueling/teamfighting power drops to 0, unlike pretty much every other ADC who is at their strongest when most skills have been spent, given they've survived that long.

Alas Corki is bad atm, I find his early fighting power to be excellent but his scaling vs any team with a front line horrible. You literally have to snowball with him or you will find yourself outscaled before long, which is also kind of anti adc.

Am I the only one who feels this way about him? Is this a bad analysis or might I be on to something?
