@Rito, How to make skarner's new Nerf, into an actual Buff...
Dear Rito,
I love Skarner, he is one of my favorite junglers and a really cool champ. However, your recent changes have mostly taken him out to that picture for other players.
Below are three changes that will keep him in everyone's hearts and games.
-
Don't change Skarner's Movement speed from 345 to 330, while it doesn't seem like a big drop in power, combined with the lack of Q Charges it would be detrimental to his kit.
-
Don't make his E's middle speed reduce with hits. As a champ with already little to no gap-closers or escapes, he needs to be able to hit multiple targets with this ability.
-
Finally, this is the one thing Skarner truly needs and the biggest and most important of the three. Let Skarner be able to move his Passive pillars with his Ult. You already said his ult is unique and it is but this change would turn his Passive from free gold for enemy junglers to an actual usable buff. My idea for this change is below
Skarner can use ult to move the Pillars 800/900/1000 units away from their current position. Once moved the pillars cannot be captured by either teams for 10 sec. If he is hit with any hard CC ( Stuns, knock ups, suppression) during the ult, the channel is canceled and the pillar stays where it is. If the ult is used on a pillar the Cooldown is reduced by 25/50/75%.
I hope you take these changes into consideration.
