corki is poo poo hes a loving garbage champion who has a niche and when everything doesnt fit for him hes loving useless garbage. Corki is not a loving champion you play in the lcs he has no place as either a generic pick or someone to build a comp around, hes more like a pick you make when you know the stars and moons are in the correct order and then you pray to god everything doesnt end up completely hosed.

oh most definitely my man

I think double AD is actually okay against a mid Kassadin but the team comp was genuinely atrocious.

Corki as we saw obviously does very well against Kassadin in lane but once in team fights he's another assassin you can't peel.

And the other one was Last Whisper. If I was T8's coach I'd bench him instantly for this. This isn't some 'adapting to the game' poo poo, it's mathematically unsound to buy LW before you finish a big ticket AD item. Relegate this guy, ugh.

how is corki a good pick against kassadin? hes a short range adc that has magic damage nukes, kassadin is a champion expected to assasinate squishies and lane against heavy duty magic damage champions with high cc and mobility that will do everything to make his life a living hell but still somehow come out alive of that situation.

Yeah Team 8 is consistently picking bad comps. Their coach looks so friggin' young too, I can't imagine he has much experience. After Week 1 he admitted he lost their game because of the horrible comp he set them up with, and it looks like it's still happening.

I dunno if you watched EULCS this week the initiating team lost a shitton of the fights. Like, across multiple games. It was a weird week.

A lot of times the initiating team blows a ton of essential abilities and get nothing and lose the team fight as the other team initiates on their scattered team. Like in Elements v. SK yesterday.

People aren't picking Corki into good team comps. Watch SKT games when they pick Ezreal with a double AD comp that actually works. It isn't a corki issue it's a "what the gently caress are you picking triple AD against Maokai" issue.

Corki ADC's like 20-13 or so in the LCK right now so either it's just mid Corki that's poo poo or he's alongside Rengar as champs the West sucks at.

Corki has an above 50% win rate in NA LCS. I think maybe EU sucks at him or something. He crushes pretty hard in LCK as you said.

A lot of it was Team 8's terrible team comp, terrible play from Dodo in particular and a number of mistakes from the team in general.

V4.21:
Phosphorus Bomb
Missile speed reduced to 1000 from 1125.

There's nothing wrong with Corki and those nerfs did gently caress all to his viability, especially in the mid lane. He's one of the two best ADC mids along with Ezreal due to being a lane bully with high mobility. Works well in double AD comps due to split damage types and peaking early before people get to build tanky.

C9 looked pretty good overall. I think a lot of that can be attributed to Balls not being on Gnar (his Maokai was really strong) and Hai being on a champ with a built in flash on Kassadin so that he could escape any positioning errors (which I'd argue is is biggest weakness). Meteos' Vi put on a good showing as well, much more so than his Rek'sai has recently.

I think these champ picks were made even stronger by Team8's team comp, but they were really strong in general as well.

Different iterations of "[losing team] lost because they didn't ban/first pick [opposing champion that had a lot of kills]" make for almost all of draft strategy discussion in this thread. They're rarely points of any great insight even if there is a semantic meaning of "well, letting Ahri through there might've given them a negative 6-8% chance to win in a vacuum." Usually there isn't.

It's just a really easy thing to notice that sometimes the winning side picked strong meta picks, and then to get your post-game confirmation bias going about it. Ahri is one of the stronger mid laners in 5.2 and TIP would've lost with her had Gravity not fallen apart in the latter half of the game.

Maybe, even if you're just in this thread to post rude/dumb/bored one liners, someone might have thought that Corki being mostly unchanged for competitive mid lane play was a relevant point to make. I'm sorry for quoting you while you were implying the opposite :confused:
