why is a kat getting attack speed?
uhg, you can't do much worse than copying a Yi build with Kat... You're a mage who scales off of Magic Pen, AD and AP, he's a DPS who scales best off of Armor Pen, AS and Crit. I'm guessing you guys are still learning the game and that's fine, but I'm just telling you that those 2 characters should have pretty much no overlap between their builds.
ok, so I decided to mathcraft this out of curiosity.
I do black cleaver to get my AS to where I want it and to abuse low armor targets with Gatling Gun. Lifesteal typically doesn't improve your survivability as much as you'd think with a ranged carry since once you start taking Focused Fire, you're usually dead before you have time for more than a couple of attacks. The reason I hurry on the BC and get my IE later is that I want to have that sweet spot where I am reducing everyone to 0 or negative armor before they have time to start itemizing against my armor shredding. After BC I usually go Banshee's Veil -> IE for whatever that's worth.
It might be a good idea to keep in mind that Rylias and Gublade don't add just damage; they both offer more survivability and slows on top of their damage. i don't know about you guys, but it always frustrates me when I shunpo -> death lotus and people just lol and walk out of the range.
I used to like Trinity a lot on Corki, but I dunno, I'm just sorta crazy for the new Black Cleaver.
I've spent 6300 on an extra rune page already. Now i've got 4. Totally worth it
MPen Quints and Blues are a little underwhelming IMO. I mean, yea, it does fit into the philosophy of the build I was describing, but 100 HP vs. 5 mpen just seems like a big difference in raw power, regardless of how you're trying to focus your build IMO. I actually agree with you on this, I find it scary saccing that 100 HP for 5 MPen and would rather keep the HP quints.
life steal/spellvamp isn't really survivability
I don't quite understand how to fight with him. I can land rockets just fine, but I think it's Gatling Gun that I'm not sure of how to utilize properly
You play him by poking with missiles until both teams engage. Once most of the CC has been blown you can pop it and move closer to the fight to get the most armor shred/DPS from it (as well as using Phosphorous Bombs). If someone tries to fight you 1v1 and you are strong enough to take them on (either via Exhaust or better farm) you can use it then. It also can hit through trees/walls and you can use it while chasing.Why is Corki such a funky carry to play
It was MPen Quints and REDS, not blues. I use mana regen seals and CDR blues on her. That gives me flat 14 magic pen. Then with the mastery point in Archaic Knowledge, I get an additional 15%. I'm kinda fuzzy on how flat and % work together to generate a damage figure, but I did feel like I was hitting harder than usual, especially on those ganks before the 15 min mark.
AS gives the most auto attack dps to neutrals
I guess Ashe would be a better example than MF, as she can shoot frost arrows to do damage while running. I realize that once a fullblown teamfight has started, Corki has one of the best moves to get out next to Ez, but in many other circumstances he just doesn't have the kiting strength that many other ranged carries do (as you are not only doing teamfights... at least not at the level I am at, I realize this is slightly different at higher ELOs) due to his low range spells (save for missiles), and long CD jump.
For Anivia, I go doran ring -> tear or ruby if im getting out harassed -> boots lvl 1 -> tear/catalyst -> sorc boots -> AA -> deathcap/banshee/void staff (usually banshee first or i get the wand if im not getting focused, void if they are going heavy MR). After sorc boots my MPEN will usually be more than the casters and carries' base MR
.
Ah, I understand now. I see what you are saying about the MPen Quints and blues. They are a little lackluster. It's nice that health quints are good on pretty much everyone. I wonder if Riot will ever nerf them to compensate?
