Hi I'm the last skarner main pls toss my man some QOL changes at least
His ult damage was destroyed and is no longer a threat by itself (it went from 200+ damage at level 1, to 40 flat and increased cooldown). I've found if your team loses lane and you ult the enemy squishy, they will often flash/escape skill out with 50% hp still. But back when skarner was op with the 60% winrate this wasnt a problem, because the op E damage shredded them right after but then that was nerfed to the ground to a point where it is leveled last now. But we didnt stop there, we then took base movespeed off him, nerfed his shield and gimped him to the point where he cant fight anyone without spire control (a mechanic no one asked for). Played well he can still have a decent presence in the game dont get me wrong (until they buy qss, so basically skarner is playable until plat level gameplay) But he is actually not at all strong and definitely not viable. I just feel it is my civic duty to voice that skarner is in a bad place right now. Not really complaining, just bringing to attention. Some ideas to make him decent are reverting the ult and movespeed nerfs, or increasing skarners base movespeed back to non slug levels and just taking it off spires and making it so that skarner does not stop moving to shoot his e. I know riot takes the spires into account with all of the changes, but Since I main him I know for a fact 0% of teamfights happen within range of spires. Just skirmishes and they are normally disengaged because of the nerfs to skarners sticking power so the request is not unwarranted.
Ps. I see alot of you are still mentally scarred from the dark time of skarners reign, perhaps hold your judgement on him needing help if you dont actually PLAY him
