Skarner has the least picked rate out of all the champion as shown on op.gg. He is not weak or strong he is just boring. Like you can compare him to the old Warwick. All you do for Skarner is spam q and aa and hope for the best. Like the old Warwick. But since Warwick got his rework his play style got so much more engaging. But Skarner oh man he spam q all day I think it's time for him to get a rework.

If he ain't weak or strong that sounds like balanced something everyone seems to cry for. So no.

You don't do a rework to make a champion balanced. That's what balancing is for. You do a rework because a champion completely fails at appealing to its audience. You do a rework when nobody cares if a champion is balanced, because they all know they may never play against that champion again. That's Skarner right now.

If he ain't weak or strong that sounds like balanced something everyone seems to cry for.

People cry for that in interesting champions. They don't give a fuck what the balance state of champions like Skarner is, so long as it isn't too OP. What people actually want for Skarner is any reason whatsoever to play him, and that's kind of lacking right now.

No, he's strong and balanced and fun to play honestly. Just unpopular. I've been maining him in the jungle and he is one of the most flexible clearers in the game

You can start almost any camp you want and clear every camp with nearly full health with just a talisman

...maybe not krugs level 1... but krugs level 3 and on ezpz

Skarner is not "boring" whatever that is. He is much more interactive than many champions (Shyvana huuurrrr duurrrrrr farm for 20 min both jungles and then R into TFs to outstat everything) or nunu (Derp around objectives and take them with Q. Press W on ADC and hope they are better than the enemy one. In rare scenario set up an ult in bush but thats the only fun bit).

All skarner needs are a few mobility buffs so that he can get onto some targets without needing a flash. Perhaps slightly higher Q dmg at lvls 2-5 and he is good to go.

An interesting idea would to give his E empowered AA a bit more range (like wukong Q). It would again help with getting to targets.

there's a balanced champion some people find unfun and some people find fun? oh yeah we totally need to rework that instead of rather making a new champion.

It's a champion almost nobody finds fun, that used to be significantly more popular until idiotic changes drove the playerbase away. Yeah, that merits a rework. The people who used to like the champion and who have been driven away deserve their champion back.

Well you can say anything much about winrate cause he has the lowest pick rate so you can't really say he is good XD.

And also he has a weak early game but his late game isn't that great either.
