Skarner is okay in the jungle and i understand that's the best place to play him. The problem is he is FORCED to play jungle and literally can't viably play any other role.
Pretty sure at this point even Blitzcrank (as a far out example) would do better top than skarner.
Thoughts?
Agreed. I really dislike when Riot literally forces a champion to play a certain role. At least Ivern doesn't actually have to be the jungler to get some benefit from his passive. Skarner's thing is not only boring as shit to play with, but also cripples you when outside the jungle.
was actually designed for the top lane.
As was 
.
honestly should not have been a part of the juggernaut reworks.
If he gets a different one, then so should Kalista since she has to be with another champion to utilize her full potential.
I actually like that trend from Riot of creating jungler with kits which clearly determine them as those.
Old skarner passive was better imo. Each AA reduce cooldown to all skills? hell yea.
