Could Skarner's rework be reverted as well? Almost nobody, main and non-main alike, likes his current passive. I do recall a followup post you made regarding his rework about 2 years ago.

At the end you noted that you might do some experimental changes on the PBE. What happened with those?

I don't know how high of a priority he is for a VGU. But I'm guessing not as high priority as the likes of Mordekaiser(he is admittedly beyond repair at this point) and Volibear, so we don't really know when he'll get his VGU. I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that he's not getting a VGU in the next 2 years at least. There was also chat last month I think, in Beyond the Rift where Reav3 said a Skarner VGU would be a very difficult task since they don't know what to do with him.

So until you know how to VGU him, could you at least revert his rework? At least do some experimental changes on the PBE like you're doing with Lissandra. I think I speak for the majority of Skarner mains when I say that if you at least revert his rework to his previous state, most of us will happily wait for his eventual VGU. If you revert his rework, get him into a balanced state and then not touching him until his VGU, I can confidently say that most Skarner mains would be content with that. We can accept not getting any new skins or such.

It's not that I want the preferential treatment like you give to Ahri and Lux. I know he will never be a popular champion so he doesn't really warrant that kind of treatment. All I'm asking is to revert his rework to hold him over until his eventual VGU

I mean, is Skarner even being talked about these days at Riot?

I swear when I saw the skarner rework come out and saw that 64% winrate I laughed my arse off.

Jungling tip as new reworked skarner! You activate you pillar, first clear your buff, activate pillar in enemy jungle, KILL the enemy jungler while tanking their buff, AND kill the enemy midlaner who came to his aid while tanking the ignite. The enemy flashed? Who gives a flying hell when you are FASTER than master Yi. GGEZ. Now the game is literally yours since you have now become a god in less than 3 mins ingame.

The fk was that crap? Also you can go tank skarner, AD skarner, AS skarner, FAST skarner, AP Skarner, Hybrid Skarner, "build whatever the balls you want Skarner". And still win.
