Is Skarner even supposed to gank at all now?

Thanks to Rito Games' latest advancement in game technology, we can now play Dominion on Summoner's Rift. ... Honestly I can't for the life of me imagine that ANYONE EVER wanted this.

So he excels at farming his jungle with the crystal spires that give him Attack Speed, Movement Speed and Mana Regen, which I think is fantastic, but sadly it seems to come at the cost of much of his ganking power. Which seems strange to me considering the last changes (namely adding Crystal Venom) to his passive) seemed like it was adding the tools to give him some pre-6 potential. But since the crystal spires' Crystal Charge doesn't reach all the way to the lanes, it feels like a big hit in the shin for his teamfighting or ganking.

Of course, I'll see for myself how it pans out in a few games, but I can't help but say I'm quite worried this will kneecap Skarner into crawling into the jungle since it's the only place his power truly unfolds and see him near-useless on lane or in base.
