That's how most of my combos go, though I've gotten really good at throwing the Q right when I click R. edit: like here + Show Spoiler + | ||

It's really not that hard to envision a teamcomp where Corki is a sensible AD pick. If its not optimal, its not viable. That is the long and short of my opinion, which I will go into more further down. On July 07 2013 01:22 ticklishmusic wrote: I'm a little confused why Corki has such a low winrate honestly. I used to think that it was because his range was low, but its actually the same as most ranged characters. His steroids aren't the greatest, gatling is a little bit awkward, but yeah. Because he sucks against, and sucks at using the Doran's Blade start. At least, that is how I feel. On July 07 2013 01:42 TheYango wrote: No, Corki's fine being strong at that timing. People just need to work out a route of itemization that works out because obviously blindly rushing Triforce/BT doesn't work anymore. There are a lot of good options for him that haven't been explored fully. Cleaver, Gauntlet, and Elder Lizard all have good interaction with his kit, for example (because SotEL is bugged to apply on Area DoTs, both Valkyrie and Gatling Gun apply it on every tick, in addition to Phospho Bomb and Missiles). This sounds like an argument to run him mid in a double AD comp. Sure, possibly. It is interesting to think about. That brings me to why its probably not viable: Because its not optimal. Can either run the double AD with that setup, but then you have low burst, and no cc. You could run him as AD with 2 high damage solo laners, I.E. Jayce, Ryze, Karthus, Cassio, etc but All that feels suboptimal because he has a mediocre laning phase, mediocre midgame, and mediocre lategame. If I made a graph of Corki's power, I don't think at any point would I have him significantly ahead of another AD, and every AD spends a longer period of time being stronger. | ||

A lot of that comes from the fact he can wave clear very strong on Q max. But he doesn't offer any utility out of that 1v2; if you run Jayce; you get the dps, strong poke, and utility. | ||

Shock Blast's ratios are far better than Missile Barrage (the strength of Shock Blast is the 120/168% bonus AD ratio--the base values are pretty mediocre), but by base values Missile Barrage is arguably better poke (particularly since it scales off total AD and not bonus AD). With farm, you get more out of Jayce's poke, but in the reduced-farm environment of a 1v2, Corki's midgame teamfight usefulness should not be weaker. | ||

Yeah; but the utility jayce provides in teamfights outside of poke makes up for less early poke. | ||

Shooting shock blast through a gate makes it 392 + 168% bonus ad, 392 isnt anywhere near a mediocre base value this is also consistent everytime he blast+gates(which is realistically the only time you'll be using Ranged Q imo), the closest corki gets is 390+40% total ad, which is with a big one, which is every 3 missiles. Truthfully i'd much rather take Jayce who can farm from a considerable distance, with mediocre farm in comparison to a Corki with the same farm | ||

I tried a couple games of blue build corki and it was pretty fun -- Corki is able to transform his muramana extremely fast, and having the mana in lane makes his trades a lot stronger. The CDR makes his rockets recharge really fast, and the IBG gives him the CC he really needs. My damage dealt stats invariably look like 50% magic, 40% physical, and 10% true, but that's overall rather than vs champions (which I usually forget to look at) anyone know whether IBG/muramana interact with his passive like triforce does (or used to)? | ||

You may as well be comparing it to 2 Missiles which have comparable or better damage from base values. And you're going into every fight with 7 stored missiles.

They don't, because it got changed to % of his AD, not % of physical damage dealt. Anything that doesn't directly increase his AD has no interaction with it. | ||

Corkis missiles deal around 0 dmg. | ||
