So when are you going to address the skarner
A lot of people are talking about Morde but what about Skarner. So far his rework was unsuccesfully to be honnest. To get start with just the concept of Juggernaut. While juggernauts concept is immobility and brutal force. Skarner does some of these things kinda differently. His kit functions so you need to get close but ones you their you also need the option to disengage in order to utilize his ult compleelty.
Het rework despite their where intressting didn't bring anything to his juggernaut concept and to be honnest the changes looked for a controle jungler. His functionality is so strange:
- Passive: Something a controle jungler would use
- Q: Something a gank jungler would use
- W: Something a gank jungler would use (but the strenghts are from a controle jungler)
- E: Something a gank jungler would use
- R: Something a controle jungler would use
The strange part about his is the he scales like a hybrid but doesn't have the strengths of a scaling jungler. His powerspike is arround the midgame what is even stranger to be honnest since the hybrid items litterly doesn't match up.
Overal you turned him into a concept with strengths in both 4 jungle groups. Something like that was just doomed to fail. Come on what would be the reason for picking skarner for your teamcomp. Maybe for his jungle controle with his passive but the maining parts of his kit just doesn't add up to be able to function like that. His ult is far from unique. It's time to decide in what direction you actualy want skarner to function.
This is what I suggest:
- AP scaling of skarner is removed compleetly.
- R now functions differently: Skarner will transfer a portion of the damage he recieves to his impaled target (50% for single target spells, 30% for AOE spells). So rather than pulling his target back to his team he will maintain his position. This would a verry power zone since enemies will known when they damage skarner they also hurt their ally. Juggernaut are known for ones they get in close combat you are screwed. Skarner would fit that theme perfectly.
