so did these buffs truly do anything no they did not .......his w needs to be max movement speed at once not a build up and yes his passive is still useless. SO with that i go top or supp with him and what a funny coincidence it works...I was reading on runes on op.gg and other sites to take and what i realized is i dont know what they are smoking but if you go supp or jungle with him and you do not have approach velocity you are wrong plain and simple end of story. top lane grasp and the cs gain hp or the reviltize. on other runes i have played around with sorcery because why not if all else fails take ultimate hat and transcendence because its the most efficient thing. So yah supp skarner does work nothing wrong with that and his jungle is still weak ....this is another thing i noticed is people were maxing his q which is not efficient ....either max e or w first always ....if you go top and only top i would max q first due to clearing cs. e slows people by 50% and w gives more movement speed so with that it doesnt matter as far as jungling purposes goes. Supp always max e first then w jungle either or well that is all. For those of you the play style would be similar to taric and or braum

Recent developer blog talked about role diversity for champions. I was instantly like, "REVERT SKARNER ?!?!?!"

Because those spires pretty well locked him in to only being good when jungling....

I notice a damage difference with the patch, but its not game changing for his kit. He is a late game champ, and the dam buff doesn't change that. He is still really weak early, and takes a long time to get strong. The problem is most games are over before he really shines. If they buffed him in a way that he was stronger pre-6 so he coudl keep up with farming, that might be useful.

His passive is useless except in the jungle. IF you are in the jungle the diff of being in a zone or not is huge for clearing. The fact that teams can turn it on and off is dumb, unless it does more. It is not enough of a buff. Most jungle champs can clear as fast or faster, without a gimmick behind it. Maybe if it made him strong enough, enemy champs were actually scared to attack him when he is in the circle. Plain and simple they are not. The only real advantage it gives is on clear speeds. If that is the case, just give him a passive that works on all jungle creeps that is always on. The only time that the rings come in handy in champ fights is when he has to run away or chase someone down that happens to be where an active pylon is. He is a below average dueler in the jungle, and maybe an average dueler if he is in his circle. So he required a gimmick to be on equal levels with others. It would be better if he was below avg outside of the circle and above average within.

Support he is okay, there are other picks that basically can do what he does as a supp but have more utility and does better CC.

What your saying is what his old q used to do. Really the true magic of the spires are movement speed and Mana Regen. I get supp all the time off if filling and need something like using him to keep it interesting.
