Here is a link to a different thread I made with some suggested changes. For those who cry about lack of suggestion assuming I haven't been posting on this topic semi-regularly
webstar11081 votesWhy would spires matter in lane? He is not very good in lane, but i could see him play top. He would be very easy to gank for.
Oleandervine2 votesThat's the point. He used to be played top lane and jungle. Then they added spires, and he's no longer played in any lanes. The spires are completely unnecessary mini-games that force him to fight around specific areas to be useful and effective. They should never have been added to begin with, because it SUCKS HARDCORE for a champion to have to be reliant on stationary, unchangeable points on the map in order to be relevant.
Shahamut1 votesAdd onto that the spires (a large part of his power budget) can be 100% denied. So if you are behind, you are going to stay that way, without a passive.
webstar11081 votesYea spires are bad. Support Skarner is still boss asf.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesTop lane Skarner, spires or not, would still be abysmal af.
Shahamut1 votesBefore the juggernaut changes, I played Skarner in top lane with pretty good success. Since then, I still (because I'm stubborn) do it with mixed success.
Skarner's kit is a mess right now, and it's because of spires. If interested, I can show you a thread I made with suggestions for how to put Skarner back into a good spot
UnboundHades1 voteswhat would you prefer instead of spires then? this is the kind of nonconstructive shitposting that i hate the most since it doesnt give a solution to a problem it just makes more problems if anything
Shahamut1 votesI have made many different suggestions. This post is simply trying to catch a red's eye for once. Check my profile. It's pretty recent. Otherwise write me back here and I will link you to it.
Edit: added link in main post
UnboundHades1 votesyou arent gonna get a red response with this the only post that do get red responses on balance are ones that have thought most of everything out, not "fix/remove X champ" If you are gonna make a post like this give a sample of your ideas and end with a link to your other ones
Shahamut1 votesI've made plenty of posts like that. Right now it's whatever I have time for XD. And I have seen worse threads get responses. Lol.
I appreciate your thoughtful response and attempt to be helpful, I'm just irritated and hope I didn't take that out on you. If I did I apologize. I have been posting threads like this since before juggernaut changes officially happened. Just hoping I can get a response eventually.
