Considering Skarner doesn't even rank on the tier list for Junglers, this mechanics buff is needed

Now skarner automatically auto attacks the target he ultimates for the duration.

RIght now skarner's ult does less damage then Blitzcranks grab while also suppressing himself the entire duration.

While this won't change much in teamfights as usually the person grabbed will die unless skarner is CC'd, it will have a MASSIVE effect on his dueling capabilities.

Elegidly skarner is supposed to be the king of the jungle when in his zone but in a 1v1, half of his cc is tied to him literally suppressing himself from doing damage.

Also, visually it doesn't make sense. The target ultimated by skarner is literally right infront of him. What does his claws no longer work now?

idk why they havent prioritized overhauling this champion. His concept is a fan favorite, but hes so damn bad that even his fans wont play him.

His whole kit is worthless. Skarner mains agree, and i think they would be fine if his rework doesnt leave him feeling like the old Skarner.

Blitzcrank grab is one of the higher damage base abilities in the game, so that is kind of a skewed comparison. That being said, Skarner's ult deals its damage twice, so it is actually more damage than Blitz q. Also, pretty sure he can q while dragging people.
