Korin Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Disruption: Korin offers decent crowd control with his ultimate's immobilize, knockback potential, and targeted dash to disrupt enemies with "All Round Tactic."
  • Survivability Boost: "All-Round Tactic" provides a shield to himself and his weakest ally, improving their ability to survive incoming damage.
  • True Damage: Korin's kit includes true damage elements, giving him some ability to deal with high defense targets.
  • Mobility: He has good mobility with both his ultimate and his ability to jump to the weakest ally.
  • Crit Scaling: His "Air Strike" benefits from critical hit investment, giving him potential for significant burst damage.

Cons

  • Cooldown Reliant: A significant portion of Korin's disruption and shielding is tied to the cooldowns of his skills.
  • Positioning: Some of his effectiveness relies on positioning, both for knocking enemies back with his ultimate and for protecting the right ally with "All-Round Tactic."
  • Damage Inconsistent Outside Crit: If he doesn't land critical hits, his damage might be underwhelming.
  • Squishy: While he has a shield ability, Korin isn't inherently tanky and can be vulnerable without proper support.
