So, I went damage Skarner in Ranked, and I got raged at a lot. I was just wondering if its fine or not. I do fine as "fighter" Skarner. Its just I got yelled at in caps for going what I like to play. Is going against the meta really that bad because that build fits my play style?
Please share your thoughts.
BlizzardMOBAsoon1 votesSkarner is the best champ hands down, little do people realize. What build did you use? I would prob build him somewhat tanky and then build trinity + hydra for damage.
Banes Aegis1 votesDon't fret over idiots. Skarner is a great champion for damage. Personally I build him as a fighter with one or two damage items and I generally wreck people I catch and can out duel almost anyone.

Pretty much.
With the pre-nerfed skarner i'd say k dps build works him well but with the new "reworked" bs the only way to build him is to go very ranky build on him.
Jamatrix6661 votesI am a new Skarner player, and I have to admit that building Cinderhulk first, then Iceborn Gauntlet or Righteous Glory (depending on what your team needs and how the game is going) gave me a lot of success. Skarner's innate ability to stick to targets makes the burning damage of Cinderhulk an awesome complement to his low damage kit.
I then proceed to buy other tanky items such as Randuin's Omen, Spirit Visage, Banshee's Veil, and my 6th item often ends up being Wits End, especially against heavy AP enemies.
TL;DR: Cinderhulk first into Iceborn Gauntlet/Righteous Glory gave me a lot of success.
