How to play corki lulu vs cait thresh

Asked by utopus on March 23, 2014

I just got deleted in lane by a thresh caitlyn lane. I chose corki, and it seems like i got countered pretty hard. I found it difficult to CS, as i took a lot of damage from both cait and thresh, and couldnt really retaliate well. My jungler was diana, and was reassurring in that she would not gank.

How can corki lane successfully under these conditions? Any advice is appreciated!

Caitlyn outranges Corki pretty hard so she can put a lot of pressure on him when he's trying to last hit with Thresh's backup. Lulu on her own won't be able to put enough pressure on them with the threat of the Thresh hook and pre level 6 Corki doesn't really have any hope of trading with Caitlyn (his new Q kinda sucks).
Once you hit level 6 you can try to poke them out a bit but honestly I don't see a Corki/Lulu beating a Caitlyn/Thresh lane if both lanes are unaffected by jungle and equally skilled.

The best advice I can give you is avoid picking Corki into Caitlyn and if you do end up in the matchup, play it safe and try to farm as best as you can. I wouldn't bother trying to trade with Caitlyn unless you're confident you can win it somehow.
While Caitlyn does outscale Corki pretty hard, Corki's mid game is quite significantly stronger than Caitlyn's so if you can stay relatively even you can try to make a difference in the mid game teamfights.

I'd like to add that having as a support for probably isn't a good idea, especially in that matchup. The only chance vs caitlyn you'll ever get is an all out at 6 but lulu isn't a great all-out fighter because she has no lockdowns.
