A possible Skarner change
Well I know Skarner isnt really the A1 champion to talk about right now, but I've noticed something recently which I did like. I see a new push to have champions become multi purpose/multi roled, and I couldn't agree more with that. For example the recent patch notes made some changes to khazix to quote "give him a chance to spread his wings elsewhere." And while I don't think we'll see khazix top anytime soon, I still agree with the new push.
While there are a ton of champions that could use changes to try to fit them into a multi role facet, I believe one champion that will always be stuck to his role because of his passive, is Skarner. Skarners kit is one of my favorites as you can play around with him a lot, You can build him damagy, tanky, cc oriented, you can try to carry or bruise, or you can just peel for your adc. While the gameplay aspect is great for skarner, his passive hinders him to only jungle. Because of his crystals spread around the map, control over these is essential, thus making skarner top, a stationary role (For the most part) very nonviable. On top of this, his passive is near paramount to his damage output, with the 80% attack speed buff, making his early game clears for jungle bearable.
While im not sure yet how to change skarners passive to fit the bigger scheme of things, I do think that if a narrative of multi roled champions will be pushed, Skarners passive would probably need to be the only thing touched. I would like to hear some suggestions on what skarners passive could possibly be changed to, or maybe a way to make his current passive work for him in other roles other than jungle. Thanks for your time in reading this, have a good one.
