Corki Tips and Tricks

Delay a team fight for as long as possible while you poke the enemy down. If you can get the enemy low before initiating, your chances of winning the fight increase. Do not use your W aggressively if the enemy has a CC ability ready. It's best to wait for it to be on cooldown before you play aggressively. When using your Q and R on the minion wave to push, try to use both at once so they’ll hit the enemy champion and push the wave simultaneously. This helps you manage your mana pool effectively.
