Holy shit just played Corki the first time. Ranked placement matches lol. Holy fuck the damage he does when he turns that Gatling Gun on. 8-1-4, 15 minutes Triforce, enemy team surrendered after 22 minutes. Unreal the damage he does when he can turret even for 2 seconds.

Then you realize that Corki actually doesn't have a real steroid and it's not that unreal anymore. Still probably the best DPS in close-range but after E runs out and missiles run out his DPS plummets really fast (Compare to Graves who can keep E-ing and Q-ing nearly endlessly or Vayne who has no high cds and just about no downtime)

No steroids? A passive 10% true damage begs to differ. People don't realize how insane that adds up to be.

Regarding the Rammus issue:

Tbh, he needed certain nerfs at the time he was perma ban and considered op. What really hit him were the nerfs to his innate W tankiness and the cooldown increases on Q + E. The little tweaks over time didn't really influence him from my experience.

I am pretty sure he will have a comeback if he gets played successfully once in a tournament, just like what happened to Noc played by M5 and Malphite played by CLG.na. You haven't seen those for ages and suddenly they become legit picks or even get banned.

I mean, it's not my ELO that is lost when people dodge me (EU-W still not patched yet) because I 'obviously troll' them by picking Rammus when we need a jungler. But this sheep attitude is so annoying.

Thanks for contributing.

10% flat damage increase as passive. The true damage is ON TOP of the shown AD value. So sick that little Urf Rider. I think I will play him everytime I have to AD from now on. First couple levels suck tho, got bullied around by a Varus of all things at first. Not by the skillshot, but the aoe zone he does. Plus his freakishly long auto attack range.

Honestly the damage on all of the ad carries is pretty insane if you play them properly. Except maybe Caitlyn.

I always felt that Corki was sleeper OP last year even before his small buffs, but with the release of Graves and buffs to other AD carries, I don't think he's the out-and-out strongest anymore. Kog'Maw, Graves, Corki, Vayne, Ashe all have their moments and situations where they shine above the rest.

I know about Corki's passive, still his damage isn't nearly as insane as you seem to imply, he deals most dmg in melee and he needs to face the target to gatling but if you don't kite in teamfights you generally die so you will end up wasting over half of your E, and again you have no aspd steroid. He still does alot of damage but he doesn't get his optimal damage output almost ever (Unless you are crushing the fight and have something like Annie ult initiate on their whole team in which case corki rapes).

A quick question. I am about to play with and against my not-yet-lvl30 friends. What is the best champion to learn that can 1v5 a basically noob team and carry my team to victory?

Probably every assassin.

I'm pretty new to this game and was wondering what these things meant: ward, CS, and CC.

Have you ever played against a 6 item Caitlyn? That shit is insane, you can never reach her and just die trying to pass through her trap and net.

Wards = 75g items called Sight Wards you buy in the Consumable section in the shop, grants you vision of an area(certain radius) for 3 minutes, there are "pink wards" called Vision wards that can see other Sight Wards and Vision Wards and allow you to kill them, also lasts 3 mins.

CS= creep score, the number of minions you slay with the killing blow(killing blow for gold or nothing)

CC=crowd control, which is basically abilities that stun, snare, blind, fear, slow you and other champions

Aww.. I'm pretty sure that I'll get ninja'd but here you go:

-Wards are those little consumables that you can buy which give vision in an area.
-CS = creepscore = the amount of creeps someone has killed
-CC = crowd control. CC spells affect in some kind of way how an enemy champion can move around and do their job in general. e.g. Stuns, Slows, Silences.

Wards: Wards are consumable items that provide vision in an area around them when placed. Wards are used to keep tabs on the other team and protect yourself against ganks.

CS: Creep Score. It's how many lasthits you have, the name is from DotA, because the equivalent of minions in DotA are called creeps.

CC: Crowd Control. (I think the term comes from MMOs) basically any ability that stuns, slows, silences, or in any way disables the enemy team. Champs with a lot of CC (Alistar, Leona off the top of my head) are good at controlling space and giving advantages to their team in fights.

You should specify that wards usually means sight wards because they provide vision and a sense of security for a cheaper price, you only buy vision wards for key monsters (baron/dragon), or when you know where your enemy laner placed a ward and you want to kill his ward to help your jungler gank your lane.

We wouldn't want the little fellow to buy vision wards all the time.
