Corki has a greater difficulty than Garen. That means Garen players must be very careful when enlisting Corki teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Garen players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.

In contrast, by grouping Garen and Corki together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a great deal of crowd control. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their kit.

Regardless of your Corki ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well anyway.
