Skarner - delaying the spire updates on the minimap could aid his situation

I'm sure one the main reasons skarner's passive gets so much hate, is because everyone can look at it from the minimap. A good fix to that would be, if not remove it entirely, delay the spire updates on the minimap, say e.g. to 10 seconds, or 20 seconds. i say so because these spires retain alot of skarner's powerbudget, they're skarner's thing, and they are already easy to contest. the fix i proposed would encourage more aggressive plays from skarner players, such as invading. Let me know what you think!

Love the idea. Creative way to reintroduce power back into his kit.

I just want Skarners ultimate to make sense.

A grip on a scorpion tail? Its for stinging Riot....

Rework his ult to Crystal Sting. deals 20/25/30%max health, unscalable true damage to a target over 5seconds. attach a ramp up slow effect to it. first second = 20% slow. 2nd second = 30% 3rd = 40% 4th = 50% 5th = Crystaline Stasis(like a Zhonyas)

Give him some kind of tool that is a counter to the hyper insane mobility creep. Tagging Akali with this, would ruin her.

okay okay. While target is in "Crystalline Stasis" Skarner is able to use his current ult on them. So he has like a 2second window to use his current ult.

Maybe that's a bit overloaded, but oh well the rest of his kit is trash.
