Dragonwing Corki's Gatling Gun (E) creates brightly flashing particles outside its range of gameplay effect.

This can give the illusion that the ability has longer range than it actually does.

Compared to Corki's classic Gatling Gun, which only creates flashes when it is damaging a target.

The Dragonwing effect is very nice, but may be misleading at the current particle draw range.

This may be more of a 'feedback' thing than a 'bug', but it is an important visual cue for Corki.

Well, do with the report what you will!

1. Play Dragonwing Corki!
2. Activate Gatling Gun.
3. Observe the pretty fireworks, but perhaps too far away.

1. Play Dragonwing Corki!
2. Activate Gatling Gun.
3. Move toward minions.
4. Note the damage dealing flash indicator somewhat hidden, and the firework flashes further away than the damage zone.

I'd just like to add a few screenshots to this. I just tested it out in a custom and found out that the very end of gattling gun does not actually hurt.

It's probably more clear in the second screenshot. You can see that the caster minions are in range of the animation but are not taking damage.

I believe Classic Corki does as well create small 'bullet impact' simulating smoke puffs further away than the actual cone of effect as well.

Although that might be much less misleading, as it may be read by players as a simple background ambiance-- not a bright flashing reminiscent of an active spell or damaging ability.
