D1 of Worlds (not a spoiler), has reminded me why Riot let Corki languish for so long. If he is even mildly strong he just makes the AD-Support meta so boring.

MF and Ezreal and Draven more interesting yo.
... not.

It's been what, two weeks since the patch is out? Maybe it'll die down if we leave it more time to be figured out, it's a fad atm, and we'll see later to what extend it is justified.

Honestly, I think Corki's strength will normalize soon- he's not batshit OP. He's just following the usual trend:

Stage 1: Gets buffed, no one notices
Stage 2: Gets buffed people notice and winrate goes up
Stage 3: FOTM
Stage 4: People learn to deal with him
Stage 5: Winrate stabilizes

He is still pretty weak pre-6/ first back IMO. His passive isn't going to add significant damage, and his escape is still on a long CD. He has no long range harass or CC, and his only harassing skill costs a buttload of mana. That changes once he gets Sheen or hits 6, but he's pretty bully-able before then.

Draven is so limited though. I love him as a character, and the way he was designed, but gameplay-wise I really dislike how reliant he is on snowballing his lane (esp. now that his laning/damage have been nerfed) and how weak his teamfighting is. Compare it to, say, Graves, who's not a teamfight monster and primarily a skirmishing/midgame carry too, his teamfighting despite his short range is nowhere near as poor as Draven's.

Corki on the other hand doesn't rely on overdone AS steroids, the way Valkyrie works also makes him different from Ezreal or Vayne (and the way he uses it can also be pretty different from Cait because of how much shorter the range he operates at is), he has his distinct powercurve and brings itemisation different from BotRK most games.
His damage is currently really scary, but it's far from being as stale as an hypercarry like Vayne hitting her stride as early as BotRK and never falling off, for example.

I don't think the 3.11 changes have had much of an impact on the game honestly.

The Zac changes were just minor hits to be able to counterplay him in teamfights and make his sustain require more management, but we still see him every game.

Corki has only become slightly more viable.

The Twitch changes don't mean much either, he's still been in plenty of games.
