How to beat Corki as Ashe: the early game

Levels 1-2 you own the lane: Corki has short auto range and no early mobility, so Frost Shot slows punish every step-up and Volley at 2 chunks him hard off any last-hit attempt. Valkyrie is a 20-second escape at rank 1, so bait it with a slow-walk step-up before the real all-in. Keep the wave slightly on your side so he has to stand in Volley range to farm, and take the first crash before his Phosphorus Bomb starts clearing faster than you can push.
