Earnest request for a Skarner revert.

I understand that Skarner was never the most popular champ, but when I see the responsiveness a champ like Yasuo gets I have serious concerns regarding the way unpopular champs are handled. Please get rid of the spires instead of leaving Skarner chained to a failed concept. A niche champ that I used to enjoy is now an ult bot and even that gets taken away once the qss purchases are made.

With so much of the roster having access to mobility old Skarner wouldn't be much more effective than the rework, but at least he would be Skarner.

Oh wait they aren't played by 12 years old buying all their skins, so Riot won't give a damn

I used to love playing this champ, but he just isn't the same anymore. At least with the Swain rework the playstyle of the champ still felt the same, damage output and all. With skarner he is chained to controlling his spires which seems like a good idea at first, but one of the key aspects of jungling is control and knowing where your enemies are. By taking control of a spire (in enemy jungle or ally jungle) you are basically letting the entire enemy team know your location without the use of wards, which gives them counter play opportunities. A top laner paying attention to the map will know when to be passive or aggressive by this simple mechanic. Not to mention without his spires he really isnt that strong.
