cant kit is to q relieant. is skarner q strong? skaners op. is skarner q weak? skarners weak. i was an OLD school skarner player and i went with him threw every rework expect this last one. where they tried to put some power in those pillars to give more balance options. but all this did was make him clunkly as fuck to play. so old skarner players hate him. the new ones only played him cause he was op. and now no one plays him cause hes clunkly shit and annoying. hes already back on the list to be reworked for a 4th time.

Wanna know something funny? There's a God in Smite called Khepri who has skarner's ult as a basic ability. The sooner Riot realizes that Skarner's ult would be easier to balance as a basic ability on a tank, the better off he will be

How would that be? Skarners' ult is very powerful, if a teammate is nearby is a guaranteed kill. How is riot going to balance this as a basic ability unless they rework the rest of Skarner's kit.

First of all by turning it into a skill shot that can be juked as opposed to a single target ability, secondly giving Skarner no say in where he drags the target.

The problem with Skarner is that he was lumped into this class of "Juggernauts" who are supposed to be defined as champions with low mobility, high damage, minimal CC. So far, only Mordekaiser (uhg) and Illaoi follow this paradigm, as Garen has a pretty solid CC in his Q, and Darius's flash E's can be game changing. Skarner not only has minimal damage compared to the other 'nauts, but he also has two hard CCs. He is FAR more tank-like than he is...jugger...naut-like. Since it would seem that Riot wants him to retain tank qualities , does it not make sense that he should be redesigned into a pure tank?

The problem was that they launched him as a Juggernaut and then nerf his damage, so now he is a "weak" Juggernaut but a decent tank with creppy damage ratios adnd ecent utility, they need to improve his passive, maybe give an X amount of his passive after each time he procs one of his cc on enemy champs.
