Skarner Revert? Ever a possibility?
I really miss of the Skarner. The new skarner that came around two years ago feels gimicky and just bad. Old skarner didnt care, he could solo carry a game if he got fed, similar to how irelia or darius can. From what i understand about Old Skarner's ludicrous high winrate was the permaslow his q could apply IN AN AOE.
To avoid the massive dip in play rate and overall quality of gameplay (i was a big skarner main back then but stopped when this rework came out, would probably still be playing him religiously if he never got reworked). I have strong beliefs that Skarner could be EASILY balanced by removing the Slow on his Q but keep the rest of his kit the same. I spent good hard earned money back then when i was 16 at Wendy's that I didnt have JUST to buy that Battlecast Alpha Skin. I was so hyped untilt his rework came out and now I feel like I NEED someone in order to make anything happen. I feel like potential is mostly restricted to towers. As a jungle champ, this concept is quite flawed as I must roam the entire map and shouldnt be left at a disadvantage when ganking.
If there is EVER ANY talk of a revert for skarner on the table, I would LOVE to know. I would STILL be playing him religiously all this time later if he was the exact same Duelist Skarner before WITHOUT the perma slow on the Q. You guys even said it yourself in a podcast, he ISNT a juggernaut like you intended. Even with his really low pickrate 112th our of 134 champs and summoners who play him dedicately together make up about a 49% winrate overall. If you master a champ, you should have about a 55% personal winrate. Making a champ a "objective jungler" is VERY linear as, truth be told, ALL JUNGLERS ARE OBJECTIVE! It was flawed Logic.
As I said 2 years ago about my beloved. I havent forgotten you completely these past two years. I'm still praying for my fun duelist back.
