@Repertoir about skarner

Hello, I heard there was going to be a retrospective about Skarner eventually. Was wondering if there were any updates on that? Been a hard core skarner fan since his release, and I have liked all of his incarnations over the years. Got to say though that while this version is still fun it is my least favorite. He feels like he has lost cohesion for me, with the nerfs to his E slow and his base move speed I find myself struggling with his ultimate. Every time his move speed relative to other champs is nerfed his ultimate loses value.

So I feel like he traded some of his juggernaut value for cc, but then had that cc nerfed both directly and indirectly. Which I get, his nerfs were deserved. I still get fed sometimes, and build damage items and do tons of damage, but I don't feel good getting there and I don't feel as good once I am there. I am not sure where to take him at this point. Maybe if you want to throw him some love then reduce his level 3 ultimate cool down? Considering the struggle he has using it, compared to a similar ultimate like gragas, the cool down seems a bit high.

For major changes, I wouldn't mind his e being reworked. Maybe when it hits a champ it applies a decaying slow or disables movement abilities and leaves behind something similar to a Malzahar zone. When he stands on it his auto's get empowered. This gives him something thematic to drag people to. He will have have less CC and better juggernaut damage this way. I would be sad to see the cc go but be happy to see some his damage come back.

If you respond Repertoir then thank you for taking the time to listen to the 2 cents of a dedicated skarner player.
