Skarner is a balanced champion with balanced stats and abilities

his problem is his W and E, one is a shield /speed up (so long as his shield holds) and one is a slow, and thats it. his Q is overloaded and his R is really good, its just that you cant carry a team with only 2 abilities. if they removed the cast time/animation on his E he would be a competitive choice, however he does have that quick "stop and cast" to use it, in addition to its travel time, which can make all the difference for a jungler without a gap closer.

overall, skarner needs a bit less CD on his ult, maybe 10 seconds per rank, and a viable CDR build path and he would be great IMO.

i miss R flash :(

I feel like Skarner was already very strong before his buffs. He wasn't doing amazing damage, but he was good at tanking with his shield and he had great cc.
