Rek'Sai just seems like everything Skarner should have been

You are only saying that because they look similar. Skarner fills a much different niche than Rek'Sai.

No. Because skarner is a scorpion and fills a different niche than she does

In case you havent noticed Riot pretty much stepped up their champion design from the times that Skarner was released. His rework did not fundamentally change him because they were trying to keep his core gameplay intact.

Another overloaded kit.

I was about to call her "Skarner 2.0" because they're pretty similar under certain aspects. rek'sai looks more complicated and allows for more windows of opportuninty, with a more recent kit that skarner's. I'm going to try her, but i'll still stick to my favourite scorpion =p

Their kits are similar. Riot should drop the mini game and mama and eplace with the fancy red bar that reksai is sporting XD
