So Cash Industries

Right, so I myself haven’t posted in a while but more importantly my friends who normally do post are also busy with college. YET, we somehow average 100+ views a day. Why is this? Is it our League of Legends topics? Is it our random geek thrills and photography? Or is it my obsession with Deadpool? Either way, I feel really bad not posting and I know we have readers who would love to add to the site so, I am looking for Authors / Editors. I know we are called So Cash, and we haven’t been playing Eve online lately but I don’t care. If you play Eve Online and you wish to tell us a tale about Hi-sec war or better yet a 0.0 experience. Then I’ll let you. if you play League of Legends by Riot games and want to post your Tier list vs others or maybe you want to post a champion guide or build order, go right ahead! I will have it so. Tell me what you want to do, even if you are a photography major or journalist major at a university somewhere and you are required to or are just looking for a blog to add your own personal flair to, then DO IT! Ask, and you shall receive. The only guidelines I ask you follow is to credit people if you use their material. (No stealing!) and try to not post obscene material that would only be adults. A few curse words such as “Fuck” every now and then aren’t stressful but don’t post a game review bashing a game entirely with profanity. Post gamer / geek / student friendly topics and have fun. I will be approving membership to the site and if we get enough Authors, perhaps I’ll upgrade the site to have specific area for each topics. Maybe even make a private section, etc. This site supports youtube links, so if you post a youtube url in the HTML screen, it will embed it automatically.

Webcomics exist on the Internet in all kinds. Their art ranges from stick figures to wildly-varying styles, and their messages range from a simple laugh to thought-provoking concepts. Some are funny, some are dramatic, some just plain suck, and some are just awesome. These two webcomics are the very latter.

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

Yes, that IS a ninja riding a dinosaur.

Born into a family of deadly ninja assassins, but filled with the desire to practice medicine, Dr. McNinja routinely deals with various crises in his hometown of Cumberland, Maryland, ranging from the illegal to the supernatural. Dr. McNinja constantly has to endure the ire of his parents, who believe that the art of killing people is far more important than the art of healing them. With a mustachioed Latino gunslinger kid named Gordito and his pet velociraptor Yoshi by the Doc’s side, he’s an unstoppable omnidisciplinary assassin with many issues to deal with, both in the past and the present. Numerous escapades include, but are not limited to: stopping the distribution of a drug that endows the user with ninja powers, exacting revenge on a crime boss, and meeting Count Dracula himself. One story arc connects to the next, resulting in an ever-growing saga for the practitioner of both life and death. Make sure to start at the very beginning. Updates Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Axe Cop

Best battle cry ever.

One day, at the scene of a fire, a normal police cop found a fire axe. It was that day he decided to become Axe Cop, and dedicated his life to fight evil. Of course, he couldn’t do it alone, and so recruits a myriad of unique (and most likely insane) characters, including a fellow cop, a T-rex with rocket boosters and miniguns for arms, a genius, and a superhero whose arms are socks that he can throw like boomerangs. Axe Cop’s story is written by a five-year-old boy, and then illustrated by his 29-year-old brother. With a hook like that, you can already tell this comic’s going some crazy places. Axe Cop takes you into the mind of a kid, excited by action movies, horror movies, video games, and video game action horror movie graphic novels. In a typical Rule of Cool fashion, Axe Cop throws reality to the wind for the sake of pure entertainment. The comic’s schedule is somewhat irregular, but there are usually a few updates every week.

Corki. I know him. I love him. I main as him. But how many other people do? How many other people can legitimately say they play a large portion of their matches as him? How many people have encountered a skilled Corki that either carried their team, or completely wrecked them? How many subpar Corki players have people encountered?

I can comfortably say that people encounter subpar Corkis more than skilled ones.

Why?

Corki is not Ashe, or Ryze, or Alistar. He’s not easy to pick up, practice with, and master. People tend to gravitate towards easy champions just because they’re easy to do okay with, as opposed to a champion like Corki, who is hard to do extremely well with. As a result, people who see others try Corki and fall short are quick to say that he’s a bad champion, and that anyone who plays him would be better off playing a simpler carry, like Ashe. Another issue is that Ezreal, another ranged carry with a playing style similar to Corki’s, outclasses him in nearly every aspect, particularly his difficulty.

Missile Barrage vs. Mystic Shot

Mystic Shot can out damage Missile Barrage, it scales with his attack damage, has a similar cooldown, and is a faster moving skillshot (easier to aim). In addition, Ezreal has access to this ability right from the start, while Corki has to wait until level 6 for his. The Missile Barrage has a very poor AP ratio, and is not viable to build off of. Even though every fourth missile is a Big One that deals double damage, it can be predicted by viewing Corki’s current buffs (it will say it’s ready to fire), and can be blocked completely by running behind minions. Mystic Shot wins.

Essence Flux vs. Gatling Gun

Essence Flux hits every target in a line, be it friend or foe. This means Ezreal can simultaneously buff his team’s attack speed and deal damage to enemies. A buffed team is much easier to push turrets with. However, Corki’s Gatling Gun provides both AoE damage and AoE armor reduction, thus allowing both himself and other physical DPS characters to be much more effective in team fights. Gatling Gun wins.

Arcane Shift vs. Valkyrie

Corki’s Valkyrie is extremely mana-hungry early on, and is on a long cooldown. Ezreal’s Arcane Shift is on a much shorter cooldown, can catch enemies off guard with an unexpected cast, and also shoots a homing shot at the nearest enemy. Arcane Shift, due to being a blink, is much easier to go through walls with, where a poorly-aimed Valkyrie can crash headfirst into a wall. Due to Arcane Shift’s effectiveness, Ezreal can level it up in lieu of his other abilities, where as a Corki that levels up Valkyrie past level 1 early on ends up gimping his effectiveness with Phosphorous Bomb and Gatling Gun. Arcane Shift wins.

Trueshot Barrage vs. Phosphorous Bomb

Ezreal’s ultimate can hit multiple targets at once, and can keep going to hit targets further behind the first set, at the expense of some damage. However, on a physical DPS build (one of the most common), Trueshot Barrage’s damage becomes lackluster quickly. Corki’s Phosphorous Bomb gives relatively cheap AoE nuke and blind, and is vital to early game harassing. Phosphorous Bomb wins.

Hextech Shrapnel Shells vs. Rising Spell Force

Rising Spell Force rewards Ezreal’s good aim with an stackable increase in his attack speed, up to 60%. This, combined with a team buffed by Essence Flux, can cripple turrets quickly. Alone, it gives Ezreal an boost in damage while his skillshots are on cooldown. Hextech Shrapnel Shells allow Corki’s basic attacks to deal an additional 10% true damage that can’t be resisted. This, combined with Gatling Gun and an armor penetration item such as Last Whisper, allows damage to add up even on tanked enemies. Despite this, Rising Spell Force wins due to a greater endgame effect on turrets.

Overall: Ezreal vs. Corki

Corki has the potential for extremely high burst damage, but this will fail if even one of his skillshots are missed. Ezreal ends up being more effective at sustaining his damage output, can be much more mobile with Arcane Shift than Valkyrie, and is far more effective at pushing turrets, and buffing his team to help push alongside him. Ezreal should win.

So why play Corki at all?

I picked up Corki before Ezreal was released, and I’ve never felt the desire to switch to Ezreal. If I play as Corki, do well as him, and enjoy myself as I play him, why should I bother switching to Ezreal just because he does Corki’s job better? People who pick up Ezreal see him as the only one that fills that particular niche, and are usually completely unfamiliar with Corki. If you wanted to pick him up now, be aware of the fact that an easier alternative exists, and it’ll take much less time to reach the same level of effectiveness as it would with Corki. It ends up being a matter of preference. I could start playing Ezreal, but in doing so, I would be moving to a champion that fulfills the same purpose, except he’s slightly easier to master, and my skills would probably end up atrophying for it. In a sense, I don’t play Ezreal because he’s easy. I play Corki because he’s hard. Also, it’s not beyond the bounds of reason to play a champion just because you enjoy him. Also note that Corki is by no means a subpar champion. If you’re in Draft Mode, and Ezreal ends up being banned or chosen by the enemy team, Corki can be a nice alternative.

Corki is extremely difficult to master, yes, but think about what you can do once you’ve mastered him. Those that know his true potential will oppose the naysayers, claiming that Corki, in the right hands, can dish out some of the highest damage in the game. This can be true, but it’s not as easy as pressing R to win. It actually takes commitment, time, and will probably initially result in horrible losses and the questioning of your intelligence, your sexual orientation, your mother’s sexual intelligence, and whether or not abbreviations count in Scrabble (they don’t).

Corki is unique in that he can assist the team beyond doing damage. His Phosphorous Bomb provides stealth detection, his Gatling Gun provides AoE armor reduction towards anything he’s aimed at, and his missiles can harass and keep an enemy at range while Corki’s teammates maneuver into a more advantageous position. Valkyrie lets him surge forward, suddenly adding an unexpected boost to a gank’s damage output, and it allows him to quickly flee from a fight gone bad, even allowing him to fly over walls, forcing enemies to go around. Thanks to a set of generic, yet effective abilities, Corki can find his spot in any team setup, with a preference to crowd-control heavy compositions.

I’ll be posting a guide to Corki soon (see: whenever I can bother to sit down and write it), but I figured I would throw this out now just so people can recognize him and understand that the bad Corkis they play against are not representative of the champion’s quality at all. Stay tuned!

I must say, after slaving over a hot hard drive full of Fiddle footage, I am very happy with how this turned out. My thanks goes out to Atomic for making the song that inspired this video and Riot for their wonderful and totally not OP character: Fiddlesticks.

So we were screwing around on the Test Realm last night and decided to check out the new Zilean changes to his Time Warp on Rammus’ Power Ball + GHOSTING! Needless to say this is a prequel to a more awesome video currently being processed. Stay Tuned.

Was going through my Screenshot folder. A folder specifically for when I take a screenshot of my desktop or something on my computer. As opposed to a game screenshot or something. Some of them were just so nostalga or hilrious or both. So I figured I’d share.
