What would happen if Skarner could drag his Crystal Spires around using his ult?
Would that break him? Would that make his passive less gimmicky since you can actually control where these key areas are? Would his Dominion mini-game become more interesting for both teams? Would he become viable in other lanes? Of course, his ult would have reduced cooldown when used on Crystal Spires, and you wouldn't be able to drag the same Crystal Spire again for x seconds.
But I'm just a pleb unranked player, what do I know about balance? However, I've been playing since Season 2 and have therefore seen every iteration of Skarner. The point control champion concept sounds interesting but restricting it to 6 unmoveable places around the map makes it too dull and gimmicky.
