Skarner ult

Skarner has to get in really close to use his ult and come team fights the best to use it on is a carry and by chance you can get close enough to use it and live with all the damage out there now chances are the enemy mage has a bv, sure that's poppable if you are a good skarner player, but even worse then this is the adc's with QSS that completely say FU to him and then he dies no matter how much stats you have stacked....

its like he is a second support now and has to ult a diver as even assasins will buy it... just... help skarner out a bit please...
