Who to play with Corki — best team synergies

Gatling Gun (E) only pays off if the channel reaches the end: Unstoppable Force (R) knocks up a whole group and hands you exactly those seconds, with everyone frozen inside the cone that strips their armour and magic resist.

You're the squishiest marksman around and Valkyrie (W) is a reposition, not an escape: Shadow Dash (E) taunts the assassin before he reaches you, and Stand United (R) shields you from anywhere on the map while you're mid-channel on Gatling Gun (E).

Brittle from Bellows Breath (W) adds 30% to whatever crowd control holds the target still, which is usable Gatling Gun (E) time. And Call of the Forge God (R) ploughs through a whole team inside Missile Barrage (R) range.

Two siege champions on the same tower: Shock Blast (Q) and Missile Barrage (R) grind it down from outside range without ever stepping up. And when someone does reach you, Thundering Blow (E) shoves them off where Valkyrie (W) wouldn't have saved you.

Your card names Zed and Yasuo outright: Steadfast Presence (W) roots exactly that kind of dash the instant it commits. Against comps that don't dash, though, Valkyrie (W) was already enough to slip out.

Infinite Duress (R) is a full second of suppression that can't be broken: it's the window where Gatling Gun (E) reaches the end of its channel instead of getting you deleted halfway. And Phosphorus Bomb (Q) reveals the target for him before he commits.

Frenzying Taunt (E) forces the target to stand there hitting Rammus for the whole duration: held like that, he eats the entire Gatling Gun (E) channel and comes out with no armour and no magic resist left.

Your card says channelling Gatling Gun (E) at the wrong moment gets you deleted: inside Lamb's Respite (R) nobody can die for three seconds, so the channel always finishes, and it hands you 150 health at the end.

Curse of the Sad Mummy (R) stuns a whole group for 1.5 seconds: that's when you point the Gatling Gun (E) cone at two or three targets at once and leave every one of them with no armour and no magic resist.

Biggest Snowball Ever! (W) knocks up and Absolute Zero (R) pins the whole team in a heavy slow: a group that can't move is all Missile Barrage (R) and the Gatling Gun (E) channel need.

A two-way synergy: Pyromania (P) is a guaranteed one-second stun that holds the target inside the Gatling Gun (E) channel, and that channel strips their magic resist right as Summon: Tibbers (R) lands on them.

Valkyrie (W) is no escape and you're made of paper: Hero's Entrance (R) shields you from across the map and knocks up whoever was on you, while Shield of Durand (W) taunts the diver and hands you a full Gatling Gun (E) channel.

His damage is all magic and Gatling Gun (E) strips magic resist off anyone caught in the cone: inside that window Pyroclasm (R) hits twice as hard. And Sear (Q) on an already-burning target stuns for 1.75 seconds, the length of your channel.

Nevermove (E) roots and drags the target toward him, and Vision of Empire (W) deals 50% more to anything already locked down: that pinned target is the same one your Gatling Gun (E) cone is stripping magic resist from.

Map synergy, not fight synergy: Destiny (R) reveals every enemy, so you know where to dump your Missile Barrage (R) charges and where the flank is coming from. But when they land on you he gives you nothing, and with Valkyrie (W) spent you die anyway.

Gatling Gun (E) forces you to stand still out in the open: Unbreakable (E) intercepts projectiles and cuts the rest by 35%, which is the only way the squishiest marksman in the game ever finishes a channel. Stand Behind Me (W) adds armour and magic resist on top.

Whimsy (W) polymorphs for a second the assassin that Valkyrie (W) isn't enough to dodge, and Rampant Growth (R) adds health and knocks off whoever already landed on you. Those are the two buttons you're missing to stand still and channel Gatling Gun (E).

Dark Passage (W) is the real escape that Valkyrie (W) isn't: the lantern shields you and pulls you out of a dive. And Death Sentence (Q) hands you a stunned, motionless target, which is a Gatling Gun (E) channel well spent.

One hook or stun taken with Valkyrie (W) down and you're dead: Black Shield (E) blanks that first crowd control outright. On the other side, Dark Binding (Q) roots for two seconds, exactly what the channel needs.

Every hit on a champion shaves 2 seconds off Missile Barrage (R): Tidecaller's Blessing (E) puts damage and a slow on your next attacks, so you refill charges instead of only poking. Aqua Prison (Q) and Tidal Wave (R) do the rest.

Worth it against teams that open with hard lockdown: Breath of Life (R) cleanses roots and stuns across the group and Ultra Mega Fire Kick (Q) kicks off whoever jumped you. Against a team that burns you down from range, though, he has no answers.
