As much as I love getting snagged by a scorpion that's buried under 30 spiders so you can't really see him, and then dragged into an instakill death laser...
Maybe...
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could just not?

Oh it has a reason. To make Kayn win and you lose. Derp face
Saibbo4 votesSkarners dragging you into Storms and Volcanoes with no real reason
maybe they should make it intentional?
DemainaNyx2 votesAlong with Kayn knocking you half way across the map into a Volcano into a Skarner ult.
BLIGHTBRINGER20 votesI was at one point considering buying QSS but soon I realised it would be a waste because these skarners just keep ulting you. You can cleanse it but then you will get hit with a second skarner ult and so on.
RocketRelm3 votesKind of. As much as I hate the skarners, you 'can' just spam your dash key at the second you cleanse it off. Generally I find this works to get away fairly often between the breaks when one lets go of you and before another latches onto you, should be the same with a cleanse.
ONLY PLAY TO WIN8 votesToday I was fighting 4 skarners and they dragged me one after another... it was very fun...
BigSquirrell1 votesLast night, there were eight in the boss fight with nothing else around. Kayn knocked me into them. I missed almost the entire second phase of the boss battle because I was never not ulted.
ONLY PLAY TO WIN1 votesWell that's exactly what happened to me, except for the number of skarners
My Waifu Vanilla1 votesIt's almost like there are 4 members on your team that ALL have a way to get the skarner off you though.
ONLY PLAY TO WIN1 votesNot if Kayn knocks you away and you end up alone with 4 skarners while your team is busy getting assfucked by him
Elemental Lux5 votesSona has AOE cleanse on a 4 second CD too
CloakAndGrenade30 votesuntil they grab the sona first and then the rest of you O.O
2Charmnot2Charm11 votesThat or Kayn just kicks the sona away as soon as she makes it back to her teammates EVERY SINGLE TIME.
DearPear3 votesThat or Kayn just kicks the sona away as soon as she makes it back to her teammates EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Had one game where I, as a Sona, got constantly kicked away by Kayn. I had close to 0 heal and damage dealt due to that. Really frustrating.
2Charmnot2Charm2 votesEven better when you had to burn all your flashes just to get back to your team safely only to get kicked into a damn pit a fire the instant you're in range.
Elemental Lux2 votesuntil they grab the sona first and then the rest of you O.O
Which happens lmao. Cant win them all!
Leetri2 votesJust run 2 Sonas, duh. :P
Hemulen Magi1 votes^This actually is an easy solution solution for a bunch of the difficulties in onslaught. [Notice my Ziggs icon. Thanks, double Sona comp.]
Terozu1 votesThats not a ziggs icon its Yas' shoulder lizard.
Hemulen Magi1 votesBoards takes like a day or more to sync up with icon changes in the client apparently. It's showing Ziggs properly now.
SugeMinPikk1 votesUnless she doesn't take hype
Elemental Lux1 votesUnless she doesn't take hype
Then git on the hype train.
Velasan5 votesTo the contrary they exist for the same reason the mob of kog'maws suddenly show up.
Your team has to work together to crowd control them to stop people from being dragged away or in Kog'maw mob case not being rained on by death lightning bolts.
They exist in these PVE games to reinforce teamwork and coordination.
YuGiHo3 votesYea, the skarner even give you a free "assist me" ping when they kidnap someone so at least your team knows someone is in danger. I like the skarners. the big ones are fat targets for your team and usually taken down first and the little ones mostly run in random directions and almost never just attempt to punch anyone to death.

Gold V Roger4 votesatleast reduce the duration of it. it is too long and they allways drag you into shit like storms etc, cus thats what you ran away from in the first place... often you die even from full hp
TwitchInMyPants2 votesAnd if you ignore the Kogs or Vels they do so much damage that your team just gets mowed down
Even though focusing the Skarner would be ideal its not super possible. Though thankfully that's why they let us use the OP low CD flash/dash in that mode.
NepgearDesu1 votesEach scorpion has a cooldown on its dragging-into-hazardous-stuff ability, and hard crowd control prevents all aliens from using their abilities. Well, at least I can't remember one that used a skill while ensnared.
Some characters have less trouble with it. Yasuo with augmented range (gotta keep running though), or Jinx with Chompers augments, for example. With the general mindset that if they can't get to you, they won't invite you to any... hot, volcanic activities cough cough.
Boop Daddy 1 votesI unironically like having the skarners tho. That's what sona cleanses are there for, y'know. And every character has something to deal with them.
Vlada Cut1 votesSo true it hurts.
DunkmasterDennis1 votesnot to mention some weird ass 
who spam fireballs across the map and takes out 1/5 of your HP
KFCeytron1 votesYou can stop that ability by cleansing the affected ally or interrupting the mob. Sona's augmented E can do the former, while Ziggs W, Malphite augmented E, Malphite R, or Yasuo Q can do the latter (the info page says "your team can free you with crowd control effects" but doesn't specify the type, so I don't know if slows/roots will interrupt the ability as well).
Getting dragged is annoying as hell, but teamwork is effective against it.
Phreaktastic1 votesAll CC will stop all creep abilities. Jinx's Chompers, for example, will stop the Skarner ults, Kog attacks, etc.
Demented Gag1 votesJust dodge his skillshot, hehe
TwoShotsOfVodka1 votesSkarner aren't that difficult to manage if you play as a team, as a guy who have finished every quest of the event, trust me, they aren't a prob.
Comerade Sylas1 votesJust pink ward them lol
shoe65351 votesi think if you're by your teammates, skarners can't drag you but i might be wrong, but I beat all the mission, i didn't have huge problems with the skarners because we just went 4 or 5 man yasuo for onslaught and there's a lot of knockups and yas ults
Ok sure but why1 votesIf only Jinx could buy a Hurricane to better take care of all those massive amounts of mobs
AlienPrimate2 votesStep 1: use all 3 chomper augments.
Step 2: build 
Step 3: spam E
Step 4: laugh at people who thought you were trolling when you do 3x more damage than them
M00nKryzalid8241 votesAh. so that's the jinx build I've been hearing about.
AlienPrimate1 votesNo, this is actually inferior to whatever you have probably heard about. A better build does mostly true damage by utilizing her R augments and plan A which does true damage when your rockets do damage. I have done almost 2 mil damage with this. That build can't deal with skarners though outside of just melting them.
Eeyore1 votesAlternatively the mini versions shouldn't have such a huge duration. There's literally no gameplay difference between their small and big versions.
Purrified1 votesWhy do you guys prefer whining than trying to counter first?
This sort of thing makes me fear that riot will tone down the game mode which will make it boring,but see,do you guys realize that stuns stop the skarners from dragging you? not even considering that you can kill them right away and that there are augments to prevents said thing
2Behold1 votesI have less of a problem of the dragging you around but rather I once got snagged and dragged over to another one and got snagged and dragged and by that time I had 0 health (again) because it was the big kayn fight
UI Master Roshi1 votesOn the map with the little bridge normally the second one i think. I got dragged around by 8 different Skarners one after the other like a dirty whore. It was the funniest thing my group had ever seen and also the most frustrating.
SugeMinPikk1 votesI got the 2 sonas on voice comms and convinced both of them to take hype just in case there are skarners. Worked pretty well
ChaosBlazeFDL1 votesSkarnies for all!!! [katarina-love] [zombie-brand-clap]
reaper40421 votesI can't play onslaught with those fucking things, I literally just leave kayn and kill them and my team says tf are you doing, and i say something dumb like "saving our lives" or when its kayn 3rd form saying we get fucked by one guy or one guy and his scorpions
RightClick McGee1 votesWish all these event skins for skarner were available in the shop some of them are not half bad
