He is along with Kog my favorite ad carry. One question I have, what do people rather use, armor pen or flad ad quints? Right now I only have flat health (well and AP) to use on him, but I want to expand my rune sets. | ||

He might not be the S-Class AD carry like Cait or Graves, but even with his old nerfs, he's really good. Burst, poke, and a decent to great escape maneuver. Plus, true damage scaling on his autos? That's pretty fucking good imo. Corki has always been strong but he does require a bit more skill to play then other ranged ADs and he tends to punish you for mistakes a little bit harsher then some of the others so that's why you don't see him as often I imagine. | ||

That's pretty fucking good imo. Pre-nerf he was considered a better version of Ezreal. Players like Chauster (who is famous for his Ez) used to claim the reason he no longer plays Ezreal is because Corki does everything better. Imo, it wasn't just his nerfs that made him fall out of popularity. He wrecks in a solo lane, can go toe-to-toe with just about any AP carry or AD carry. Duo bot is a bit less wreckage for poor Corki though. There was also the introduction of Vayne who probably out damages him and the resurgence of Kog'Maw who definitely out damages him. So with those two champions becoming widely played Corki's niche of, "doesn't have as much utility as Ashe but does more damage than any other AD carry ever," was ruined. There were also his nerfs which honestly weren't too huge (it basically took 5% of his damage away from all of his abilities) but the biggest problem with his nerfs was the removal of his blind on Q. He's still good though and out damages most of the other ADs while also having a monster of a midgame (which is unique among AD carries). I still like to play him a lot. But then again he was my favorite AD carry pre-nerf/when AD carries got to solo mid every game. | ||

- He's not that good in duo lane - The cookie cutter build is not very good (manamune trinity lol) - Anchoring, once an obviously op character is nerfed hard they get little consideration, because the comparison is to his op version rather than the general standard of power His farming power is unstoppable, he's my favorite mid. The E buff is very significant I think and he's just really good. | ||

I am the kind of person who likes long-range abilities, so playing Corki is very difficult for me. | ||

His auto range is the same as Graves, Ez, and Vayne (and I think Trist @ lvl 1), so it's not too bad. You do need to get in close for Gatling, though. | ||

He does pretty crazy burst in midgame especially if you can get trinity really fast. And as was pointed out, he has the same range as like Vayne and stuff and he has a better escape. | ||

Ah, that may be why. I am kinda bad with AD casters | ||

When I play him however, I don't go mamu, usually do a couple dorins blades, into Sheen / Phage to build Triforce. He is super carry late game, just valk in with that gat and toss a phos bomb or two onto the party. Or chase down people with your R's insane range. | ||

corki's autoattack range is such that if you want to build him infinity edge you might as well have gone trist or kog or cait who all have better range and 2 of whom have an aspd steroid of some sort for pure dps. i think BT and BC are both good options on him though. corki in duo lane is good with sona at 6 because he's frontloaded enough that after a q and r and gattling turned on a sona ult combined with the autos and r that follow will kill one or both of the enemy duo lane. he has the aoe and magic damage that a lot of other duo laners don't. | ||
