Read from Corki's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Ezreal.
This is Corki's own plan; across 3,975 pooled games the lane is leaning Corki.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Ezreal | Level 1 favors Ezreal because Mystic Shot pokes you from range with a resetting cooldown. |
| Level 2 | Ezreal | Level 2 stays Ezreal's as his poke and Arcane Shift safety deny your trades. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | Level 3 evens to skill once you gain Bomb waveclear and trade tools. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Levels 4-5 stay skill-dependent on who lands skillshots and manages mana. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is skill-even as your Missile Barrage matches his Trueshot poke and his E keeps him safe. |
| First item | Corki | First item is yours when Trinity true damage out-bursts his weaker spike. |
| Two+ items | Corki | Two-plus items favor you because your on-hit DPS and mobility out-carry his skillshot damage. |
Levels 1-2 favor Ezreal: his Mystic Shot out-ranges your comfortable trade range and the on-hit cooldown reset lets him poke you repeatedly for free, while Arcane Shift means you can't reliably punish him. Last-hit carefully so his Q can't line up through a minion, dodge into your creep wave, and don't commit Valkyrie into a champion who just dashes out. His Mystic Shot wants a straight line through a minion, so stand off that line and the poke costs him mana for nothing. Do not chase with Valkyrie into a champion who blinks for free every twenty-six seconds at rank one. Take the safe half of the wave, push it in, and let the plate be the thing you win.
