Quick Opinions on the Juggernaut

I have given all of these champs a try on the PBE and my current opinion on them is this:

Darius

Q - It feels better to use now, and the long wind up actually provides a bit of "Can I escape or should I just hug him and only take half damage?" Its just healthier in general as it is not just instant damage now. It should not heal though. Darius is supposed to be an oppressive lane bully, not an oppressive sustain bully. Yes the damage was nerfed pretty hard but that is no excuse.

W - 90% slow at all ranks for 1 second, don't really mind or care.

E - Finally no more pulling in after you've escaped the area.

R - Pretty much the same isn't it?

Passive - AD ticks are a bit less oppressive in lane, but problem is those tics proc Black Cleaver, which is a bit unfair IMO. Also he should not get the 5-stacks on one hit after applying 5 stacks on a target manually, should only happen when he dunks someone. The massive AD steroid is way too much for a lane.

Garen

Q - A 1.5 Silence makes it so anyone that isn't Aatrox or Tryndamere actually have a chance against him, and thats good.

W - Something something encouraging CS something something this ability has always been extremely underwhelming, and the changes are fairly minor as well. Removed tenacity sure, but Q still breaks free of slows so meh.

E - JESUS CHRIST WOULD YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND PEOPLE!? There is so much stuffed into this simple ability that my head hurts, currently it returns cooldown when canceled early, can crit, and does 25% less damage when striking multiple enemies. Honestly I feel NO difference in the damage it does.

R - Basically a Darius ult against certain targets

Passive - Mostly unchanged. Meh, new warmogs is better.

Skarner

Q - I feel as though this does pretty much nothing anymore...just a teeny tiny bit of AOE damage which I guess is good if you're planning on building Black Cleaver the loss of the MS and more important the ATK speed has really hurt him. As far as jungle clear goes, fights seem largely unaffected for the most part though.

W - early game nerf, HUGE late game buff.

E - Pretty much a buff IMO, sure we lose 0.5 seconds of slow but now we have a more or less reliable stun. I like it. The proc of passive bonuses on this (The atkspeed, MS and mana regen) is nice...but its just one second if you stun a target...don't really need to go fast then, and the bonus atk speed is one extra auto at best.

R - HUUUUUUGE buff IMO, the extra 100MS when grabbing someone makes it all the easier to pull the enemy into your buddys warm embrace. (The ATK speed is completely useless though as you cannot auto attack during the grab...still trying to figure out why.)

Passive - Before the added affects on the R and E, I was pretty sure this was THE dumbest passive in the whole game. Extremely situation, and gimmicky to boot. But with the recent changes to E and R I think its a bit better, R someone and drag em into your zone.. its still pretty dumb and mostly useless as you will never get to use the zones if you're behind. But still, its better than what it started out as.

Mordekaiser.

I... I just don't know. I played him on the PBE as support, had a blast, he's a very strong, beefy damage support, and the W has some nice potencial with letting your carry escape a gank when you're at a safer place but still nearby, Also the dragon thing is dumb, as it deals incredible damage and is buff as fuck.

But...I rarely if ever played mordekaiser normally. All I know is that I hated playing against him, and really from what I saw, he's not really much different now once lane ends. Not AS strong, but still pretty damned horrifying. You can't play him in a solo lane anymore though, at least, nowhere near as easily as before.

BONUS ------

To every old Fiora main crying that she's useless now:

WELCOME TO HAVING TO DO MORE THAN JUST QQ R INTO A SQUISHY.

Q - BTW YOU CAN ESCAPE OVER WALLS AND THIS CAN BE SPAMMED AS SAFE POKE SO EASILY

W - BTW YOU HAVE A SPELLSHIELD THAT BLOCKS ALL STUNS AND DAMAGE

E - BTW A SLOW AND A DAMAGE BUFF AND AN ATK SPEED BUFF

R - ARMOR DOESN'T MEAN JACK SHIT YOU WILL CHUNK TANKS LIKE THEY ARE YOUR BITCHES. AND THEN YOU'LL GIVE ALL YOUR TEAM AND YOURSELF SOME AOE GATORADE.

She is incredibly fun to play and when played right, shits on everyone so much harder than the old Fiora did.

Just get bloody good. Even Riven has to at least choose a direction to QQ E at.
