Im always open to discussing guides, some of the people I usually que with aren't open to new build ideas or new ways to play in general, so this is pretty nice :)

You conviced me with the AD runes over Amor pen runes. I cannot argue the fact that farming is very crucial for an ADC, especially to scale well into late game. And your right about it working well with the passive, for some reason that kept slipping my mind :P i need to get more than 5 hours of sleep per night i guess :P.

Go for it man! I love coding aswell but I'm completely new to bbcode but love working with Javascript and C++. So feel free to pick through the code and do what you want! If anything, I would appreciate it since im new to BBcode.

Hehe, it's fun going through guides and picking out the details. That's my title, isn't it? I'm a perfectionist~ ;D (and thanks for the congrats ^_^ I was confused as to which guide you were referring to, so I assumed it was my most recent one, for Morgana. My mistake, haha)

Armor pen runes would be better in mid-late game, yes. However! This is assuming that you don't have any items that offer such stats. Sooo, that's the point of building armor pen./armor reduction like Last Whisper/ Black Cleaver! As an ADC, your early game farming is crucial to being able to do well later, so that's why I usually place such an emphasis on the extra AD, since it works extremely well with your passive.

Hehe, if I'm allowed, may I pick through your coding as well? :3 I absolutely adore coding (whether it be html, bbcode, javascript, etc.) so making giving advice to help people make their guides beautiful is always fun~ Don't get me wrong, you're guide is already better coded than 90% of the first guides out there, but there are a few things I can think of that might help out just that *tiiiny* bit more ^_^

I see a valid point about the AD runes over armor pen runes, but don't you think the armor pen runes will work better for late game when you may be required to chunk and burst people down and help possibly take out the tank for the ace if you survive the fight? I will add the AD runes tomorrow as an option for now, as I personally see the mid and late game value in Armor pen runes.

I do see your point with the Last Whisperer over the Black Cleaver so that will be included as an option aswell, while like you said corki can stack that armor pen on the black cleaver easier than most.

The defensive masteries are added in the next update, just haven't published it yet as I have a lot planed! It won't be visually updated, but it will be majorly info updated over the next 3 days.

I just want to thank you both for all the feedback! I'm learning a lot and it's nice to discuss how to build with people without someone saying "IM RIGHT YOUR WRONG.". I'm thankful you two keep on checking up on my guide and giving advice, it means a lot.

Sorry! I misread. It wa an article on you winning a season 4 contest guide. Anyways, congrats!

Best guide? Since when? :O

Heyy~ I'm back! ^_^ I hope you've had a wonderful birthday! Now onto your response...

I agree, Corki is a burst ADC in the fact that he relies on his abilities to help deal a bit of his damage, his ult in particular. However, by taking armor pen runes, you're losing out on almost 9 AD at the very start of the game. This is almost like starting with a Long Sword in your inventory, along with any other masteries/items/abilities you may have. Plus, no one has all that much armor early game, so the tiny bit of arm. pen that you get aren't as noticeable. In addition, you don't need that much armor pen early game, since your passive deals true damage anyway. Naturally, you would want to make your passive scale more, since true damage will easily outshine any armor pen that you have.

True, true, I see your point with Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed. I just thought I might throw it out there, since LS quints were nerfed this last patch, and AS Quints subsequently were buffed.

I suppose Black Cleaver could work, but I still don't think it works better than Last Whisper. For one, it's more expensive because it has extra stats. While Corki in particular can stack the passive armor reduction more easily than most other ADCs, it still isn't the best choice imo because stacking takes time, which isn't always available to you.

Mastery wise, I suppose it's up to you if you decide to go full utility. But I still feel like you're extremely squishy without any points in the defense tree. If you insist on keeping 21/0/9, you should at least include some alternatives.

By the way, congrats Emikadon with having the best guide of March!! (if i misread im sorry)

Thanks Blig :)

Happy bee day :3

I had a wonderful day thanks! I know there is no rush, I just am the type of person that when I start something I'm always looking for ways to upgrade it and make it the best I can, or else I can't focus 100% on anything else. I look forward to hearing your reply as I've gained a few ideas on how to play corki from this, and I'm curious to see your reply!

o

It's your birthday? Well happy birthday then~ There's no need to rush anyway, so take your time ^_^ I'll come back tomorrow to answer to your response, and we can have our discussion then. Until that time, I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating!

Thanks Emikadon for checking out my guide and the feedback! IL address your questions and concerns below.

I run the armor penetration runes as Corki is a burst ADC. He just pokes until the enemy is low enough, then goes all in when they are low and bursts them down for the kill. Your E already lowers their armor when they are in range, and the armor pen marks makes their armor even lower and get bursted down faster.

AD marks are not needed on corki in my opinion as his passive makes his AA's deal 10% extra of your current AD, generally taking the place of the AD marks while giving you more armor pen with the armor pen marks.

I don't see a use of attack speed quints on corki as once again he is a burst ADC, and doesnt really rely on his AA's for sustained dmg, as once again he just pokes until they are low enough before going all in for the kill and burst them down.

I choose the black cleaver as a part of my build due to the extra 50 AD, 10% CDR, 200 HP, and the armor penetration passive that gives you +10% + (5%/10%/15%/20%/25%) armor penetration. So at max stacks the armor pen is the same as the last whisper, but you also get the extra AD, CDR, and HP. As for the need of stacks, the extra AD, CDR, and HP makes up for the need for stacks on the black cleaver.

Now, i just realized the mastery problem with blade weaving but no spell weaving, the site must have glitched so I fixed it now, thanks for pointing it out! I choose to run 21/0/9 for the mana regen, pot boost and more on corki as sustain and mana regen are important on a burst ADC, as you have to have mana to poke them down, and also have to have enough mana to burst them down when they are low enough for you to go all in for the kill.

Thanks for the tip on the Runes, Masteries and Item builder! I had no idea that was there! This is my first guide so im still learning so thanks for telling me about that! It sounds more useful and easier than i tried to set it up.

I was planning on expanding the items further, but waqnted to at least have a section up for the item descriptions, defending the items I choose and my build order will be up in the next update! As for my abilities that is a good idea, that will be included in the next update aswell!

Overall thanks for all the feedback! It will help improve this guide and all the guides i make in the future quite a bit. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask them and i will be more than happy to answer them for you. If there is still something not clear that I tried to explain why I did it, let me know and I will try to explain it again.

Today is actually my birthday :) so sadly, i won't be working on the guide tonight, I'l be back at the grind tomorrow working on it. I will address questions tonight though, just won't update the guide tonight. The next update will be tomorrow or Friday.
