Skarner shouldn't have been classified as Juggernaut, he should be classified as "Pain Train"

The complete gang of "Pain Trains of mobile destruction and tanky annoyingness" Volibear Olaf Skarner Udyr Trundle DrMundo Singed Sion

aka fighters that aren't quite tanks and aren't quite juggernauts and aren't exactly pure fighters

they do nothing but run around and cause the enemy to scream in anger and cry in defeat

no real on demand mobility in terms of dashes but plenty of high % MS boosts

they win by using a combination of mobility and anti-engage to just ruin your day

compared to the Juggernaut crew Garen Darius Mordekaiser Nasus Illaoi Yorick

Garen has a mobility move, but doesn't really play like a Volibear or an Udyr that have practically the same MS bonus. They use it their's for completely different reasons and purposes. They use it for intimidation and brawling, Garen just uses it because he likes spinning.

The Pain Trains all love skirmishing for the most part, but Juggernauts don't really. They all like to get rid of their opponent as fast as possible, whereas the Pain Trains enjoy toying with their opponent's first (for Singed and Udyrs, they REALLY love toying with the enemy before a kill)

If the Dunkmaster skins could all be put on Juggernauts, then American Football skins could be the "Pain Train" lineup for the Pain Train champions.

I don't personally consider Yorick a Juggernaut

Anyways, agreed, Skarner is now relabeled as "The Pain Train" Also, how is Sion not in that LIST!?

Oh yeah I should have put Sion in this list, my bad.

Riot said they are reworking Yorick into a juggernaut, but honestly he fits into one already. Low mobility, high damage, focused on one particular area with little to no CC and builds a combination of damage and tankiness.

He isn't really a pure fighter like Rek'Sai/Shyvana and isn't really an AD Caster or Mage like Jayce/Pantheon. He is far more similar to a Darius or Illaoi than anyone else.

I disagree on him having high damage without becoming squishy, but I guess you are right in your other regards.

His damage is pretty high for fighters honestly even with 1/2 damage items.

His base attack is huge, so getting iceborne boosts his dps, control, and survivability an insane amount, considering how his Q works. If you grab Sterik's Gage as well, your damage is absurd, while you're getting good Armor, better and more available shield, and more health.

After that you can go full tank and still solo a carry in 4 seconds. You don't really get squishy
