Skarner Top Spires

Hello everyone, i'm just a average lol player with a bit of a recommendation. Skarner, out of the 4 jug reworks would be in everyone's opinion, the LEAST op jug, but hes still my fave. He doesn't lack in dmg, movement speed, or coolness, but due to his new passive, riot made it so he can pretty much only play one role, the jungle. So, i wanted to know if it would be possible, if the Skarner player that didn't take smite, his spires would spawn differently, for example, one top, one bot, keep the ones by baron and dragon, ect.

What do you guys think? Think its possible? I hope someone responds.

I really like this idea. I have to say this is something that has really bothered me as well. I do think it could be done, and I would even go as far as to say I think it should be done, but unfortunately I kinda doubt that it will be done.

When I posted a topic about this I always got people who commented on how he doesn't need the mana regen and he doesn't need the attack speed while in lane. It seemed like they were really just trying to encourage me to pretend like he doesn't even have that as part of his passive while in lane, .... or simply not to take him in lane.

One of the things that really bothers me about this is that due to his enemy's ability to capture spires, they actually end up getting more utility out of the gold and temporary vision than a lane Skarner would without going out of his way to capture spires. Yes, he still gets a movement speed buff when applying CC, but to me this is still a very small part of his passive.

Thanks for the reply Man! You had me thinking when you said the enemy would get more utility out of his spires with the gold and temp vision, so that got me thinking, Why not give skarner a way to thrive in the jung and lane? A simple solution, change his passive to an illaoi/ zyra passive? Like a random crystal would break off skarner every 30 secs. Enemy's can step on the crystals to break them "Needs some counter Play" but when skarner steps on them, it gives him his spire buffs, minus the temp vision, but just a Little bit of AD. I think this would be a fair way to play him in the top lane.

Any thoughts? -xxxThelight aka Average LoL player
