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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

I believe that this will make skarner a viable champion ( after change). Otherwise, these pillars just stand as free gold for enemies.

TDChangeling can't comment yet, but he says that it's really good. Only recommendation is to make his pillars a passive like Azir's where they can be placed at specific locations.

The idea of having his ultimate go on a lower cooldown when he uses it when within the area of one of his pillars would fit the theme of him being more of a territorial jungler (which is what Riot seems to be making him into). Probably around 15/20/25% lower cooldown (or something similar).
