Both and  are similar in the way that they are both skillshot heavy and deal a mixture of physical and magic damage. Also, is a staple item on both of them. However, they both they have their own strengths.


 * Corki has more upfront damage thanks to and it gives him the utility to boost his entire team's physical damage thanks to the armor shred. However, Ezreal can do that in a more practical way with 's attack speed buff.


 * They both have strong mobility due to and .  has slightly more range and the damage could be stronger due to it's AoE nature, however  is a flash, so it's stronger in some situations. It can jump over 's  while  can't. It's also completely instant, which makes it better for repositioning.


 * Both are strong pokers and laners. I'd say Ezreal is a better laner pre-lvl 6 because of his superior range and burst damage, but Corki is a better poker afterwards because deals AoE damage and Big Ones hurt like hell.


 * has the luxury of a global high damage ultimate, and he can pull off great plays like stealing buffs from the enemy jungler, ganking other lanes, stealing Dragon and Baron etc.


 * However Corki's damage is much more brutal late game. His passive really starts to shine once he starts getting these big fast crits from and . On the other hand, Ezreal slightly falls off, which is the price he must pay for having the strongest mid game out of all the carry champions. He still retains his strong utility though and can still compete.


 * Both are really mana intensive. I feel like Corki has a bigger problem though. If he's to burst heavy in skirmishes he must use ranked up which has  a whooping mana cost and Corki can see himself running out of mana much more often than Ezreal, who's spammy but has much lower costs.

No, Corki isn't a better version of Ezreal. Both are good champions in their own right, and Ezreal is even better than Corki in certain situations.
