I called it, Skarner is OP

I knew that Skarner was gonna be overpowered after playing him on the pbe and it's really unfortunate because I know that he's just going to be nerfed to the ground in the next patch :(. This is why I wish he was never reworked, because I was already doing extremely well as him. Honestly I don't know why some of the feedback on the Pbe was listened to when they said he was weak when he wasn't. Skarner has a 53-60%+ winrate right now so I hope you QQing "skarner mains" on the pbe are happy. Skarner has never been crap he's been balanced for the longest period of time until now.

If you guys are going to nerf Skarner please reduce his reliability on his spires and make him better out of the spires. I have some suggestions too.

-When procing Skarners auto on his E make the passive duration last for 2 seconds, but be half as strong or 66%. (This lets him get more attack speed out of his crystals for a longer duration. -make Q 3.5 seconds all ranges and adjust the ratios accordingly. -make it so when Skarner gets the crystal effect of his Q he gains the bonus of his passive by 8/11/14/17/21% ( so 8/11/14/17/21 flat movespeed, and attackspeed) <- This does not work in the Crystal spires. -Give his W a base shield back and a percent health shield, but make his base shield weaker. -increase his E mana cost and possibly make the stun be 0.75 seconds? -R has no problems and is perfectly fine -Give Skarner back his old Q mana costs since the cooldown isn't as low. -keep his base movespeed

I really hope you guys look at these changes, I really don't want my main and absolute favourite champion getting nerfed to the ground. Thanks!

Agreed, if they're going to nerf him, atleast nerf the spires.
