What if Skarner's passive was more like Bard's instead of being literally Dominion?

Passive: Legacy of the Brackern

Skarner senses the presence of his lost brackern brethren, periodically highlighting a series of crystalline deposits across the map. Moving past a marked deposit grants Skarner gains a stack of ?, at which point the deposit becomes dormant again.

Whenever Skarner gains a stack of ?, or stuns or suppresses an enemy with his abilities, he gains a burst of Movement Speed, Attack Speed, and Mana Regeneration.

I dunno what to call the stacks, but anyways.

Give his kit some small scalings based on the stacks, like some base damage on empowered Crystal Slashes or base value on his shield.

I don't know if it'd solve any problems with Skarner, but I feel like it'd make his whole "roaming in search of his lost kin" part of his lore a piece of his gameplay, plus it goes nicely with Skarner being a sort of roaming diver.

Just a thought.

I feel like Teemo might be able to use a similar mechanic too in the VGU he probably needs, collecting mushrooms that spawn to strengthen his poisons. Fits his being a scout that's always foraging, too.
