Skarner

I miss old skarner. I don't see anyone talking about it on the boards like I do malz or morde so I thouht I would just put it out there. He is so depressing to play now. He only feels a bit like he used to when inside his spire but at all other times he is useless. Why does he have to be limited to only being strong inside a small part of the map that when his team is behind he loses? Be honest with me. When was the last time you had a game with a skarner in it? I mean he is nothing but an ult bot and without his reliable speed boosts his ult doesn't even feel as useful as it use to. I would give all my skins and rp purchases back just to have my old scorpion buddy back.

New Skarner is interesting... I can't remember old Skarner.

It might have been more fun to play, but he really is unique and I have played him numerous games very successfully.

The trick is dragging them into your fountain as you lose

Or if you happen to be winning, because Skarner really isn't bad right now, just grab someone and pull them somewhere else (hopefully where they will be killed without putting teammates in danger)

My point is, give him a try, with practice you might find him a very fun and reliable pick! (Especially since he is not popular!)

Change his ult to a suppression and revert the change.

I've always played a lot of Skarner, ever since his original kit.

I will say that the Juggernaut rework did a lot of good for Skarner. A lot of his abilities and design intentions behind his abilities are a lot better. His E particularly is a much more rewarding ability, and the bonuses from Crystal Charge when he procs either his E or his R are very good buffs that promote his playstyle.

The issue is his passive. It's poorly designed and streamlines him so he's either always overpowered or useless. Either he's only strong in the spires, and thus weak everywhere else, or he's strong everywhere and the spires don't do much, or he's super OP in the spires.

The passive is, in my opinion, the only that that needs real change.
