OK, I will try to explain why it isn't so good on ADC and why it can be OK.

"ADC" is meant to secure objectives. With TF and LW Corki do it relatively fast. Neither TBC or IBG are as good for that. Damage is just a way to achieve that, for example Xerath has good damage, but he can't damage towers effectively.

That's why I think "ADC" with IBG and TBC simply isn't an "ADC".

IE is not so great without second crit-chance item, so without TF you can change that to something too.

But with 30% cdr, AP and tanky stats Corki can easily fill another role in composition - he can dive enemy back-line and obliterate ADC with high base damage from q, and even w. IBG give him additional cc which Corki lacks.

Reconsider: Trinity Force with Raduin's Omen for slow and TBC. However I feel convinced, TBC and IBG synergy is not bad with e. Only 30% cdr feels somehow unrewarding for Corki, because he can spam his r anyway. I don't know.

Maybe IBG, TBC, sorcery, BT, LW, Mercurial Scimitar/Raduin? Tons of penetration... But why when you have mixed damage... Ehhh.

I will try to test it later.
