Juggernaut update talk

Skarner - my first question is about skarner are the crystal spires gonna be the only change to skarner because honestly that dooesn't feel like enough to fix his kit. sure it adds a bit more mobility and vision to the game. but it does nothing for him gank wise and if he isn't near them than late game team fight he's basically still normal ol' skarner with the problems he has had for a while now he needs something done to his E atleaset because it's still basically useless from the looks of things. and having the enemies be able to capture them just makes the spires all the more useless for him because that just gives the enemy an even bigger advantage over him and his team. the fact that only skarner get's any real benefit from capturing the spires makes it even more useless for his team as a whole. the enemy team get's more benefits than his own allies. i mean having vision in places that are basically useless to the laners early game is just pointless.

Darius - ok i like the update but damn is the new passive gonna like have a long cooldown on bloodrage or atleast someway to better counter it because as a person that likes melee top laners. giving his passive more damage feels like slaping melee tops in the face. is the damage only going to be noticeable late game or something because early game where it's already hard to farm against darius with melee tops while trying not to get in range of his spells this just makes it even worse in terms of him zoning the shit out of top laners denying farm. the late game ult thing is ok i have no problems with that for now i'm mostly scared of early game.

Garen - ... Yo i'm fine with that rework makes it so he has to focus more instead of walking into enemy team spinning to win and ulting anything his team can damage for him seeing how most garen's go full tank

Mordekaiser - is solo lane mord dead? does the new creeping death mean that mord solo lane is weaker at all or is it still as powerful as before. will i still be able to burst someone to shit in top or mid lane with him without worrying about some reduced damage on my side due to me being in a solo lane. also will the dragon ghost have reduced damage or will it scale with it's damage for every death like it always does because if it scales than that seems a tad bit over powered in the sense that dragon can actually hurt alot and now you have him on your team's side pushing the lane is likely gonna be a bit too easy. maybe make it so it can only attack champs or something to balance out his scaling and prevent him from pushing lanes to hell.

all in all i like the juggernaut update so far but it raises alot of questions that i hope will be answered in more detail with time. it's a long ways from the next patch after 5.15

Edit: since the juggernaut patch is basically give tanks damage and diversity all i can think of is the amazing things Poppy might get she's my fav champ so here's hoping it's amazing.

The thing I love about the Garen buff (I am a Garen main) is that you dont have to waste your ult just because someone is low. Ive had times where someone was escaping and I just used my ult (and it couldve been the underfed adc, the support, or the bad jungler). Now I can actually be able to see the focus and kill them for my team. His ult now has a great way to spot and tag the person WHO is doing damage.

exactly why i'm in love with it he's basically the shut down champ now. makes sure champs like yasuo can't steam roll all game

the garen change doesnt really impress me. seems like a nice bonus, but not something you can rely on.

most of the time you will probably not attack your marked target, becuase youre not going to reach it, or the mark randomly attached to the wrong target (an equally strong adc that you cant fight and a bruiser in the enemy team with the adc being 1 like kill ahead). or your target is simply on the other side of the map.

the skarner change looks like it can actually backfire against his own team, when the enemy team is ahead and has map control, they can capture shrines for vision to solidify it. so if youre playing skarner, you better win.

the only changes that can be considered straight buffs are the morde and the darius change, which both look pretty crazy.
