Skarner just feels so Aatrox right now

TL;DR: Skarner is too outclassed and most of his kit is nearly unusable

There's just so much wrong with him and it needs to be fixed.

P - I get you were going for the inside of spire he's strong outside he's meh but it's so heavy especially in the early game he might as well be scuttlecrab outside of them. Not to mention the enemy team can steal the spire and put it on a CD before you can regain control. They also get vision + gold for it..I thought this was skarners passive why are they benefiting off it so much?

Q - This ability honestly isn't good for anything other than making sheen proc constantly. The actual damage from it is pretty abysmal

W - While this ability is fine it feels underwhelming in league of mobility because it's just speed. Take Warwick or Hecarim for example. Both have gap closers in their kit. That's why they work so well with a MS steroid. Now compare them to Skarner or udyr. Why do they do so poorly in that regard? Because neither have a gap closer and a simple slow or something like Veigars E can stop them instantly. It's a nice ability and probably his best one but when everyone is just dashing through walls it feels useless

E - The main issue with this is once it misses there goes your hope of winning a fight unless you're stupidly ahead or have your team to help. His entire ability to do anything to anybody is dependent on landing his E. If it misses then once they jump on you, you can't really do anything even with your ult unless again you're stupidly ahead or have help.

R - Iconic ability. Go in. R someone. Drag them into your team. Laugh. Only 1 issue. How are you planning to close the gap without flash/ghost? Lee sin will kick you, wukong will clone or ult you, zed will W away, xayah will root you or ult, rakan will leap away, ahri will charm or ult away. It just goes on forever. He's basically reliant on his team to do something for him to be able to do something to help his team. It's dumb.

Another thing is he's strictly forced into a jungle role. As mentioned he's pretty crap outside of spires. This is disgustingly apparent early game. The fact you don't have them in lane makes you fresh meat for anybody. His late game is pretty decent don't get me wrong but on an average game where you're not behind or ahead it takes about 2 1/2 items to start being useful. When you're ahead it takes 2 items. When behind it takes 3-4 items.
