User blog comment:C4bal/Corki in the Tank Meta. How to./@comment-24590723-20150615135503

Some "in-depth" explaination.

1. Corki is actually good in tank-meta.

He has true damage from passive.

He has mixed damage, so it's impossible to deny him with 1-2 items.

He has armour shred from his e.

Just later, with 3-4 items tanks are impossible to kill, because they have armour, magic resist and hp. But even so, diving tank is easy to kite.

2. The key is to take good advenatge in early game, when that damage is great.

That exactly why you rush Trinity force. With that you can easily outdamage enemies and destroy turrets. Iceborn gauntlet has much lower damage and efficiency at this stage.

Key to Corki's abilities is his ultimate. You store bombs and spam it along with autos proccing spellblade. You don't need cdr for anything than storing missiles faster.

Corki has hard way to utilize TBC passive, because his abilities make magic damage. And really, his e is only spell that has low range. Do not forget, that due to Corki's mixed damage penetration is not as efficient on him. You rather rush IE+BT, LW later.

3. Anyway feel free to try your build

Genja even utilizes something like rush on Raduin's Omen on Corki.

It's true, late-game Corki has a lot of troubles without BotRK and effective penetration. So off-tank Corki may become new meta, especially on top or mid-lane.
