What was your plan on the Skarner change?

Was the plan to make him a location depentant bruiser with close to no damage on his abilites or no damage at all if you are not close to a crystal or making him a full tank and be an ult bot?

His new passive is horrible compared to his first and his latest. Why in the world would you want to have a passive that gives gold to the enemy team and some vision? Sure you can also get it but, if it spawns in the enemy jungle also i will laugh

His Q damage was ruined, jungle clear slower, ( the basic attack reduction on Q was nerfed in the jungle pretty hard ) less sticky with the removal of movespeed and attack speed on Q

W got a nice buff, So i will not complain about it

E, which was already pretty slow, GETS SLOWER THE MORE YOU HIT WITH IT!? And now if you do not hit it in a gank pre 6 you won't do much

Ult got nerfed, cause longer cooldown early (but buffed late), shit damage if you do not build alot of damage

If you do not revert this change cause he is not played often, like the lee sin change you reverted cause he was played often, it will only show more how little you care about your playerbase now, and more about your esport$

As a Skarner player, i will play him and try alot of different builds on him and see if i can make him work

TL:DR New change is horrible and you should revert it

Meanwhile, at Riot HQ, a white board sits above the water cooler in champ balance department. On it is a few scribbles of champs to be worked on, a crude drawing of a penis and the words. "FUCK SKARNER MAINS" in big black sharpie.

Yes there was, to see if they could gut him even more without removing him altogether, seriously someone at riots office most hate scorpions or something.

the thing to remember about the rework - all four reworks, really - is that they were done with the intention that you buy some combination of the new bruiser items and Cleaver.

Skarner with a rage gage and Hydra doesn't actually sound that bad on paper.

While I agree that this is likely the case it is really, really dumb, and also is just one more example of Riot moving away from build variety rather trying to encourage it. None of it is good outside of the new items. None of it.

Does not change the fact that they ruined his spells execpt W

Maybe you can build some damage

But you won't be sticky enough anymore to be able to deal that damage
