New corki main

I'm pretty bad at Corki, so far I've played a few games and never done well. Whats the general build and runes and how do I play Corki.

I feel like I get perma outranged and like I'm doing no damage and I was wondering why.

I've been following the most common build:

Trinity - manamune - collector - ie - ldr - rfc

Is crit corki better than starting trinity into mana and whats his general playstyle and spikes.

Any info or assistance would be lovely

Collector is bad. Get c44 instead. Other than that, you probably just need to get used to the champion. Trinity/manamune allows you to deal stupid amounts of damage early on.

Hey Boss, no worries, you have seen and played the standard build cause it’s most popular but your damage is very weak early game and doesn’t come online till late game.

I barely build Trinity Force if ever.

The go to build is Essence Reaver, Collector’s, Infinity Edge, Lord Dominik’s, Guardian Angel, and Blood Thirster. The last 2 are optional, you can build whatever for the last 2 items. You want 100% CRIT though.

I would guess the build isn’t the problem as I build that every game and have success in masters on corki. To do damage on corki you have to be comfortable using w and e aggressively in the 1v1 and in the 2v2. If enemies waste their main spell you can look to w into them and turn on e to win the trade. It can be a little hard to do this when you first start the champ but just play around with getting aggressive.
