Riot. Skirmishers are a cancer class.
Not to be an utter dick about this but there an issue with skirmishers when it comes to the current meta. Many of them are a race against time as they can scale and just wait for the moment someone screws up so they can get a lead. the top four right now are :
,
,
, and
. and they are a bitch to deal with in lane due to their dueling power, I don't mind them being weak but skill powered at the start of a game but when they scale. they scale hard and will win the game if it reaches 40+, only trynda falls off but the rest maintain their power, making it hard for anyone one to oppress them for long.
They are not fun champions to play against and that results in them having a high ban rate for them, especially when they are strong. All of this means that something needs to be done to curb Skirmishers oppressive power when mastered and weaknesses when feeding. I get that they are high risk, high reward champions but with so much survivability that it more than covers their sub-par raw resistances, they are nearly impossible to deal with unless you are in higher elos as players in those levels overall have better skills and can better counter them.
Personally I don't hate Skirmishers, my only issue is that they are too hard to kill when well played while having so much damage which makes them OP.
