How about just deleting Skarner from the game?

I don't really play LOL anymore, I uninstalled the game quite a while ago. The reason for that is that as a Skarner main, it was just painful to see every champ get reverts and skins, get reworks and get talked about. And meanwhile, the Rioters won't even talk about Skarner. At most he might get mentioned 2-4 times a year by a rioter.

And frankly, while I do find it disgusting, I have already resigned to his fate. You will keep pumping out new champs and skins for popular champions and VGUs and reworks for champs that don't need it. I do admire the Skarner mains who perseveres in requesting for his spires to get removed. But Riot obviously has no intention of giving a VGU or reverting the rework for the foreseeable future.

Even after I uninstalled LOL, I still used to watch the news and keep up to date on the meta. But when I saw that every champ was getting attention from Riot, I even stopped following the news.

I therefore humbly ask of you Riot, just delete Skarner from the game. Put the poor scorpion out of his misery. If you really have no plans for Skarner, I think you should just delete him and free up some space and bandwidth for one of your other champs in the pipeline. There aren't many Skarner fans anymore, so you won't lose many players, and the ones that remain don't have to cling on to this false sense of hope. I certainly admire Skarner mains such as Shahamut who are persistent in their requests for a revert.

But I think it's for naught. It's obvious that Riot listens to everybody but Skarner mains. So I think it's better to just put the poor scorpion out of his misery and move on to other games. We Skarner mains certainly won't be missed

It's a shame outdated champs like skarner and shyvana are just ignored.

Yorick got left in the gutter for years before he was inevitably reworked in 2016. I dont recall anyone from Riot talking about him before that.

As far as Skarner goes, It feels absolutely horrible to see Skarner in his current state. They should just allow him to be played outside the Jungle & just go from there. Just sucks to see a champion like him go to waste.

I main this guy since 2011, and I hate the fact that he is being the most forgotten champion in league's history. 8 Years passed, I am so tired of waiting on the news from Riot to finally VGU him, I may as well just follow you right there.

Skarner may actually be the most unpopular champ in league of legends. I believe that is why he gets no attention.

Thanks for the nod. I haven't given up just yet. Nothing short of riot responding with a "no, we think Skarner is fine" will do that for me.

My next pitch actually involves keeping the spires, but in a much healthier way.

"I miss my kind..."

Skarner players are like the Brackern that they love, long forgotten, their power stolen, and slowly dying... poetic, but still sad all the same...

In some distant alternate reality future if Skarner gets fixed, I will re-install LOL in a heartbeat

I had a dream where there was another champion just like Skarner, walking on all fours, nobody plays him. Except it was a fucking mouse, and it was a jungle champion. Such low pickrate that I forgot it existed. Then I realized it didn't when I woke up, and no, it's not Twitch .

VGU Skarner into a cute girl, it's a license to print money. Problem is the audience who are into gem scorpions is pretty low.

(To be serious, I think his spire mechanic is BS, it makes me never want to play this champion, it makes me feel bad for anybody who does too).
