Playing against Corki
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
The majority of Corki's damage is magic — buy MR even though he's an ADC.
2
The Package is visible (he glows when he has it) — respect his engage range when he's picked it up.
3
Without his W, Corki is immobile — force fights when his dash is on cooldown.
4
He's weak before Trinity Force — punish him in the early game.
