Skarner moving at a million miles per hour while being max ranked withered

Kèy··2 votes·706 views

How can a Skarner, with a max ranked wither on him, be able to move at 600 movement speed in the middle of a lane with only swiftness boots? Is this a bug or is this just broken ass skarner from the juggernaut update? Because this shouldn't be able to happen, because a max ranked wither would make him move at like, 100 movement speed, even with swifties. This actually lost my team a game, because I would wither him when he was caught out in a lane, and he would press w and run away faster than an Udyr with ghost and homeguards on. I'dl ike my LP back if this is a bug, because this pisses me off how fast Skarner runs with a max ranked wither on him.

Why is a Nasus at max rank wither and all the enemy Skarner has is swift boots? Did you max w by level 9 or something. And if that was the game losing fight i find it hard to believe that all he had at the point in the game is swift boots.

When I go Skarner I take dead mans plate, swift boots, move speed quints. And while I don't build it, a phage item isn't bad on Skarner at all. Hell even a BOTRK wouldn't be too bad on Skarner.

There are a lot of subtle move speed items in LOL

He only had swifties and iceborn. I had max rank wither at level 13. We had killed all of his team, cept him, and were trying to kill him to go baron, when he just ran away faster than Sonic

Wither is what you should be maxing first on Nasus anyway....

You're joking right? Ive never heard of someone maxing w over q or even e

Maxing Q first doesnt do much. The extra damage isnt really all that needed early, you dont want to be trading, and stacking is relatively irrelevant early. Youll stack better late game, and even with 0 stacks youll always be relevant because W and E with a decent team is enough free teamwide stats to make plays off of. Basically, Q will scale with levels and items, so you dont need to rank it.

E for non AP Nasus is generally an armor shred tool. Its damage isnt massive, and its mana cost makes using it to farm or harass too costly. Its a great 2nd after W, especially since W keeps them in there longer.

W makes it much more difficult for the enemy to trade with you, makes it much harder for the enemy to dive you or gank you, and it makes it so that ganks for you are much much much more likely to succeed. Especially since its up relatively often with max CDR, which is one of the stats you rush on Nasus.

Wait....is someone actually complaining about skarner? BTW if he was in his spire zone he is really fast. And are you sure his banshees didn't absorb your wither?

I said he was in the middle of a lane, can you not read?

speed buff and slow debuff interaction is very weird.

If swifties and swiftness stack additively, that's a 40% reduction in slow strength. Even during the final second of the wither the slow strength should only be 57% (and that only lasts 1/4 of a second due to the reduced duration from the tenacity from swiftness)
