Another Patch, another sad day for Skarner...

Skarner has quite possibly the worst passive in the game. He has no base damage on his Q, no base value for his shield, LOW damage on his E missile and R...

Seriously, can we please revert Skarner?????

Skarner Full Rotation at max level, including one auto attack for the stun (heck I will even give him 2 Qs)

E(140+20%AP)>Q(45%AD)>R(60%AD+100+50%AP)>R2(100+50%AP)>AA(100%AD)E2(110)>Q2(90%AD+30%AP)

Total Damage: 450 + 295%AD + 150%AP

Total CC time is 3 seconds. Plus Displacement. EDIT: If you have MAX cdr and time it right, you can MAYBE get in another E+AA, adding an additional 250+100%AD+20%AP... and increasing the cc time by 1.25.

Compare to Nautilus

R(450+80%AP)>Q(280+90%AP)>AA(100%AD)>W-AA reset(100%AD+70+40%AP) >E-1wave(175+30%AP)

Total Damage: 975 + 200%AD + 240%AP

Total CC time is 5.5 seconds (if managed perfectly) includes a knockup and displacement.

So, what is Skarner exactly? Because his damage and scaling sucks. His cc isn't even better given his terrible damage. Please Riot. Revert Skarner. He has suffered long enough...

Skarner was a late game juggernaught that was meant to abuse the item 3078 + item 3053 combo due to his high base ad late game...

But then riot removed the combo and made steraks give you bonus ad rather than base ad.

Riot assumed that they wouldn't need to compensate any champions since changing steraks from base ad to bonus ad would add damage onto abilities....

But skarner`s q scales with TOTAL ad...so all that change did was nerf the item combo for him....and to this day riot still doesn't realize that no matter how many times I tell this same story over and over again.
