With the recent PBE Patch, I would not be surprised to see Skarners popularity sky rocket, he's going to be crazy viable. I still doubt he will become pick or ban, but he's going to be very good.
Thank you for buffing Skarner into a slightly better and thematically fun champion than he is now.
I'm overall very happy with the new Skarner.
MugfaceTGE4 votesFUCK THAT THIS SKARNER UPDATE IS WHACK.
Archenz1 votesYou haven't tried it, just wait a bit and give it a shot, you might be surprised :)
Archenz2 votesThe Changes I'm talking about are the changes to his E: Fracture.
Crystal Spires (Passive) movement speed bonus lowered to 100 from 150. Fracture (E) [NEW EFFECT] Crystalizing enemies with Fracture (E) or Impale (R) now grants Skarner Crystal Charge (the movespeed/attackspeed/mana restore buff from his passive ) for the duration of the disable and reduces the cooldown of FRACTURE by the duration of the disable. Note: This means when Skarner stuns with his E he gains 100 movespeed, [42% + 6% per level] attack speed, and 3% max mana restore per second for 1 second. Note: This means when Skarner uses his R he gains 100 movespeed, [42% + 6% per level] attack speed, and 3% max mana restore per second for 1.75 seconds. Note: This means an E stun reduces the cooldown of E by 1 second and using R reduces the CD of E by 1.75 seconds Cooldown increased to 13/12.5/12/11.5/11 from 12/11.5/11/10.5/10
That along with other buffs are turning out to make him a very good champion.
MarkedOfKane2 votesAs someone who used to main Skarner in the jungle. I feel that he does not need any changes.
ESPECIALLY THAT PASSIVE.
Archenz1 votesWith the new passive, I can tell you, good luck taking dragon or baron or even invading him and killing him before he rips you and your team a new one 100% bonus as at like level 6 is crazy. Combined with his new items especially.
lightdragoon881 votesIt's in a much better direction.
Archenz2 votesWrite me a skarner story lightdrago0n senpai :^)
And yea, these changes are great. I fear however, that any more buffs will make him a monster which will in turn cause Riot to gut him.
So I wish they would leave him as he is right now, I already know how win rate will sky rocket.
lightdragoon881 votesDid you ever read my Battlecast War story that was about Skarner?
Archenz1 votesYes. It was the first I believe! Very good loved it!
lightdragoon881 votesWell happy you liked it. Thinking of doing a story about all 4 of these champs starting Monday. Look forward to that.
Archenz1 votesIn the Champ rotation? Yay! Will it be them comedic talking about the reworks? Anyway sweet.
lightdragoon882 votesYep during the sale. And yes it will be comedic.
