Skarner is clearly not for this meta

In a meta where everyone has CC, escape, MS boost, etc. Skarner really cant shine. As champion, he is very strong, but VERY easily counter-able. Skarner is a beast in Bronze and Silver, but literally useless in anything above that.

Riot should increase his damage output in such way that once he got in your face you're wrecked. Getting into people face is already a feat for a champion with no gap closer (only a slow that is hard to land and a very weak ms boost). Look at Udyr for example, he is the same kind of champion as Skarner, but once Udyr got in your face there's no escape.

Riot, just make skarner a beast as he should be, not a walking ulti.

Skarner is actually doing well in high elo. He had nerfs on the PBE a patch or two ago, not sure if they ever made it to live.

The problem with skarner, despite being without gap closer, he is not a good duelist like Udyr. I mean, seriously, why choosing Skarner over Xin, Udur, Voli...

Riot loves nerfing balanced champions, its like they want the player base to play with 20 FOTMs forever....

Meta? Dude.... tons of mobility has been "meta" forever. It's NEVER going away. What you're saying is Skarner is not meant for this GAME.

I liked how skarner used to be, the way he used to be him and udyr were the same champ and did the samething how ever I bought rh for the effect meaning you added to the effect of your q and aoe stunned, they changed him to make him different he is one of the very few Champs I have a penta with and yes I recorded it
