EPTCome on guys, I understand that Jayce is a strong hero, but the assertion that Corki is outclassed in every way in every conceivable scenario is flat-out ridiculous. There's simply no champion in the game that is that badly in need of a buff.

There's simply no champion in the game that is that badly in need of a buff. idk Sivir is pretty outclassed by other champs -- even among the 450's Kayle offers a better mix of pushing power + utility. Her range is so short -- MF and Twitch offer much safer AD AoE. As for auras, I'd argue that it's better to min/max with auras on support/tanks/items. Sivir just doesn't have a lot of what people want on their adcs | ||

But yeah, you have to get pretty gimmicky to really get Sivir to work. | ||

Come on guys, I understand that Jayce is a strong hero, but the assertion that Corki is outclassed in every way in every conceivable scenario is flat-out ridiculous. There's simply no champion in the game that is that badly in need of a buff. Oh I agree that Corki has strengths and stuff—of which I wouldn't argue too much myself because AD's the role which I understand the least (Graves being an exception for example because his kit and range issue make him close to an AD caster on these topics). I was arguing more about how Jayce has silly efficiency and powerful poke even without significant farm. I agree that in the course of a single teamfight Corki has steadier and more consistent damage output through his ult than Jayce through his EQ, but as I mentioned regarding his E nerf (which wouldn't be enough imo) in a situation of poke, unless time constraints arise (a sidelane pushing heavily against his side while the enemy team has good clear to hold a siege for example) the fact that his combo takes two ablities holds less weight as he can just circumvent the issue by poking more (eg. more casts, thus more times). I still believe that Muramana / evolved W Kha'Zix is fine, it's just that the changes made evolving Q stronger (and weakened evolved W for roaming/brainless farming, which I don't address here because I'm talking about poke). If you want to poke, he can still do it well, it'll only require more AD from him to compensate for the loss of former evolved W applying (without consuming) his passive. I'd be really curious to see tests involving Corki and bruiser-ish builds, or abusing a midgame timing with stuff like Gauntlet. I can't really do it myself because I don't even understand well the working of a "standard build" Corki nor his playstyle. | ||

Corki plays more similarly to Graves in that he does most of his early/mid game damage with high burst. He has solid poke and a powerful escape tool as well. He got over nerfed and then Riot released too many ADCs with stronger early/mid games than him (Graves and Draven) which took over his niche. His other niche was the safe ADC but Ezreal does that job better and Corki abused Trinity more than Ez did so the nerfs to Trinity hurt him as well. The only thing those two have in common is they're undervalued and/or weak picks. The reasons why they aren't played are completely different and they have completely different power curves. | ||

edit - that graph isn't too accurate to me but draven only really falls off due to his range and non jump ability/escape ability. at that range you also have ezreal, corki, vayne, kennen, mf and twitch. Honestly though, i don't count mf and twitch because though because they'll be much further back than the other ones | ||

There's simply no champion in the game that is that badly in need of a buff. huh? just runes and masteries give you like 25 bonus ad by the time you have tear. That's +42 dmg, which for corkis scaling would require him to have 200 AD? Jayce Q also has really good base dmg, you saying it has meh base dmg = completely WTF normally your posts are good but I have no clue what you're saying. Also saying Jayces EQ is 2 spells is only technically correct, E is a utility spell after all and he gets utility for it, it doesn't disappear. A very common harrass is to ranged EQ and then run through the gate and melee QE On July 07 2013 09:19 arb wrote: what makes draven fall off so bad late? spinning axe is still a really obnoxious steroid lategame, even if it relies on catching axes(which can be hard i guess) but stand aside is pretty strong in its own right also Imo stand aside is the reason why Draven is so OP in the first place. It's the only hard CC a ranged ADC has, on a short cooldown and long range. It also is AoE. land a single stand aside during laning = won lane non-ult ADC that is | ||

He just goes from Abusive, to having his strengths be less powerful, while other ADCs strengths gain ground or hold steady. Like Graves. You pick him to be kinda tanky and push hard with great waveclear. He is good at that, and is always good at that the whole game, and that plus his strong AOE damage is fairly good all game, and has basically the same relative power all game. Draven's ability to abuse people becomes less easy to pull off when tower standoffs become very important, and he has bad waveclear when he is trying to stay safe. | ||
