Why nerf Corki? And the others?

[quote=TheJohn][b]No need to say that if they get stunned, you'll kill them. I know that.[/b] RIOT says that Corki destroys the other AD carries because he got damage and range. But his "damage and range" is his great ult. But I know a champion that unites both abilities easily. Her nameis Caitlyn. She has the longest range in game, she's strong and her ult is one of the strongests in game. She can hit you twice because of her range and finish you with a 3rd hit. Looks like Corki. But why nerf only Corki? Caitlyn is a few champions behind (alphabetic order). Any opinions?[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport][[Corki]] has high burst, high DPS, high harass, a strong escape, true damage and armor-shredding, and excellent farming power. He's like the Annie of Ranged Carries, he's a little too good at... Well, everything. [[Caitlyn]] on the other hand, only has her lane power. Having that big-range poke, the triple traps to barricade the lane path, and the longest natural auto-attack range in the game is troublesome. But her late game tends to drop. The traps become less useful. Her Q slows her down due to the channel. Oh, and her ultimate, [[Ace in the Hole]] can hardly be called strong. It's range is smaller then Nocturne's [[Paranoia]] and it can be blocked by tanks, which makes her easily countered by coordinated teams. To be blunt, she's good, but Corki and Ashe are better because of their damage and utility, respectively. I've read Riot's currently looking to nerf her lane power to improve her late-game.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000]Caitlyn's abilities are overall worse than Corki's; his Q checks bushes and lowers enemy hit chance as well as damage (Caitlyn's is easily dodged, although it does do great damage), his W is one of the best escapes in the game (considerably better than Caitlyn's, enough said), his E has armour shred and decent damage (Caitlyn's traps are okay, but not often useful in teamfights), and his R is a spammable long range poke (Caitlyn's is arguably better if you can actually get a clear shot at the guy you're targeting, but that doesn't happen too often). Note: I own Caitlyn and play her fairly regularly and have tried Corki several times on his free week. EDIT: [quote=JunSupport] I've read Riot's currently looking to nerf her lane power to improve her late-game. [/quote] Where did you hear the lategame buff part? All I heard was a plan for nerfing her Q (which pissed me off).[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]not just that, but how many times do you see [[tristana]]? or how about [[urgot]] or [[vayne]]? if everyone is playing ashe and corki, obviously thats a problem because theres other carries out there.[/quote]

[/quote] This pretty much sums it up. Corki is better at 99% of things than other AD carries not including Ashe. Much more damage a tad more utility, get out of jail free card, huge ranged poke, easily stacked Manamune, awesome synergy with Sheen, flexible item builds. The list goes on and on, really.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]....Except I don't see Corkis as much as I see the other champs mentioned. Potentially a higher skill ceiling? I still don't agree with the nerf. All of his abilities save for his ulti have medium long CDs. Either way after nerf I'll still make people look stupid with him. EDIT: It's his kit that makes him potent. His passive is strong too but it's 10%....It doesn't scale higher than that. It's definately nice but...His base damage is low and his coefficients are all crap as well. His abilities provide utility, but I don't see myself using Phos bomb and watching someone's health disappearing as though I was Annie dropping tibbers on someone.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]well yeah corki is more played in higher elo.[/quote]

[quote=Xenasis][quote=JEFFY40HANDS] His abilities provide utility, but I don't see myself using Phos bomb and watching someone's health disappearing as though I was Annie dropping tibbers on someone. [/quote] If an AD champion can do that, then they're broken. Corki can, however, come closer to that than any other carry, with a combination of his Q, Sheen, E and R.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]He is not that hard to play... I guess it is the 6300 IP price? He really deserves the nerfs, best dmg carry out there... Ranged ofc[/quote]
