The graph your using isn't just who's played him this patch, but who's played him since 2014. (or at least to my knowledge.)

so you think the experience of his playerbase has increased by a lot since 2014-2015

Playing with Espe again, starting at around 11PM and playing a couple of games. First two was me Leona support again which I'm pretty sure did fairly well on the second game just the first game was a lose because of some reason I forgot. Trying Annie support failed miserably, trying Mumu support, failed miserably again. (THAT E IS SO SHOOOORT, I swear) Now back to Leona and I think I might stick to this because I'm pretty sure I can't support any other way. Play two more games if memory serves and only lost the last one.

I also got my first taste of actual hate which doesn't feel good but I think I'm holding up fairly okay, even though it might have thrown my game off a bit. That or our team composition was bad which apparently was some fault from what I heard too. I also agree that I have not being using my ult at all cause I have no clue how to and apparently every way I've tried is wrong so I'm just going to keep trying and seeing what happens.

It was Nunu not Mumu. Mumu is a different champ.

The Wukong was being a dick and the time he got mad about he was wrong anyway because it didn't come up until the fight was already lost for us because he jumped on fizz.

You played really well though.

i got my first hate when i tried singed for the first time
good times

ISO · Post Post #43682 (ISO) » Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:17 am

really? after playing almost exclusively Heimer and Teemo, it was singed that got you hate?

Psyche · Post Post #43683 (ISO) » Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:23 am

not sure how it is in ranked but for me while leveling choosing heimer has almost always meant winning lane
i suppose teemo became a smidge more of a mixed bag once i reached 20, but by then i was pretty experienced with him

Psyche · Post Post #43684 (ISO) » Mon Jul 27, 2015 9:30 am

i've been pretty aggressively avoiding any champion that requires me to actually initiate a close encounter with the enemy
with singed i at least get to run away as soon as the encounter happens
but it's still really scary and challenging

You mean from teammates, or from your lane opponent?

Psyche · Post Post #43686 (ISO) » Mon Jul 27, 2015 10:37 am

my lane opponents are like livestock to me
i do not attend to their suffering

Hiyo! First time posting in here.
The plat 1 struggle was real today :/

why is BOTRK build as a second item on Corki?

Oman · Post Post #43689 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:32 am

... It shouldn't be?

Corki gets a lot(!) out of raw AD and isn't a big attack speed dude. BT is a better option.

hiplop · Post Post #43690 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 3:54 am

Anytime I try to play singed top my team is always like "lol fuck that" and sends me bot.

Never done well as singed (or got to go top)

hitogoroshi · Post Post #43691 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 4:01 am

BotRK has a smoother curve + the active works better with Corki's kit. BotRK proc is same range as Corki's range, and barely shorter than Gatling range. Slow keeps them in Gatling range longer, AS means that you're benefiting more from Gatling shred and it changes the dps math. Lots of little synergies.

BT's not bad if you hit the BF cleanly on your first back after TForce+Sorc, but otherwise BotRK makes a ton of sense, like it does for every short range adc with no cc.

It's the most common build Plat+ as well as the build that pros usually use. I'm just trying to figure out why. I guess it gives some Attack speed and damage in one item since most of the time you don't have the luxury of a crit+AS item like shiv/PD because of the need for triforce

Oman · Post Post #43693 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 4:30 am

Mmm I guess. I just feel like corki gets so much out of that passive in league of tanks. I dunno. I'm bronze 2.

ISO · Post Post #43694 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 4:35 am

League of Tanks is done, but against tanks BOTRK is better than BT anyway because AAs deal 8% of current health and its active is even better.

The extra AD from BT (80 vs. 25) is about 6 extra damage per AA from corki's passive, but of course BOTRK has more attack speed.

Personally I'd be more tempted to go second item IE than BOTRK/BT. Walking around without crits is sad times.

Espeonage · Post Post #43695 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:01 am

I p much always go for IE after trinity. I feel dirty if I'm not building crit on an ADC.

(I rarely even build BOTRK until late on Vayne bc I need dems crits.)

hitogoroshi · Post Post #43696 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:10 am

I mean Corki is more of an ad caster than a conventional carry, focusing on crits is a great way to spend a lot of money not making your missiles, bombs, or gatlings any stronger

animorpherv1 · Post Post #43697 (ISO) » Tue Jul 28, 2015 6:14 am

The guide to second items on Corki:

1) Bork - You need to bust tanks and/or you desperately need the active to keep certain champs away from you. Also, the build path is very smooth overall and 8% current hp allows your burst to go pretty high when in combo with sheen proc.
2) BT - You need to not be bursted down by enemy assassins.
3) IE - For every other purpose.

Well the crit part maybe not, but IE is still better for Phos bomb, missiles and gatling gun than BOTRK is. Plus except for when you're long distance missile sniping, presumably you're weaving in AAs to proc the triforce's sheen, which the crit is meaningful for but attack speed isn't very meaningful.

If you're using Corki as an ADC, of course. If you want to just focus on casting, you're better off with the AP items' higher numbers and better passives and better penetration options.

i got ekko
he's fun and just a little challenging and i like playing him whether he's good or bad or whatever
i wish there were some established guides on how to build him
but i guess this is my chance to finally learn how to think about item sets and masteries and rune pages instead of just following other people's scripts
