Stop building skarner with tryforce it doesn't work
The recommended build the game gives you is trash the extra damage on autos after abilities isn't enough to deal good damage and makes him less tanky. What I've found that works way better and makes him fun to play is building attack speed tank like shyvana. Your crystals give you massive attack speed boost meaning late game you can be tanky af and still do 3 autos per second. Also his q cool down goes down with every auto attack so building CD-R is pointless so just spam his q and use it as a heavy damage sunfire cloak. Also this build makes you deal amazing damage. You can 1v1 a xin zao at full health and kick his ass thanks to the stun on your e and massive boost to your attack speed and your ult keeps them in place at crystal. So instaid of building ad cdr and tank build attack speed ap tank. In late game he bassicaly turns into a juggernaut. I guarantee you will get so many double kills and it will so much more fun. This isn't an experimental build I promise this works so much better and isn't awquard to play so feel free to use in ranked. I get so pissed when people say he's no good and needs rework even though he's one of the best junglers in the game and probably my favorite jungler by far. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH PEOPLE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY BUILD HIM AND HOPEFULLY RIOT WILL CHANGE THE RECOMMENED BUILD. I'm so tired of people saying he's trash. Again this isn't some weird experimental thing like adc thresh it really works and I beg you to try it before you judge skarner and please get other people to do it too.
