So like all of the tanks have or are getting % HP damage. Skarner is considered a tank or a bruiser/fighter depending on how you build him, but I think his tank build is considerably weaker than other tanks. Building damage on current Skarner is tricky since he has mixed AD and Ap ratios and they're all quite low ratios. You used to be able to stack AP and be a damage dealing healing AP bruiser type thing, but that doesn't work at all anymore.

I propose that he gets the same treatment as other tanks and gets % of Max/current health damage somewhere in his kit. He's one of the few "tanks" that doesn't have such an ability. Sej, Zac, Maokai, Mundo, etc ALL have spells like that. Let him join the club maybe? He is not that popular and I think this would help him see more play. He tickles people late game I find since he doesn't have high damage scaling. % Hp dmg just makes sense.

I know the tank meta is sort of hated at the moment, but Cinderhulk is getting nerfed so I'm sure it won't push him over the edge.

There are a bunch of tanks without %health damage. Skarner is 100% fine, one of my favorite champs. Needs no changes.

how much base damage/scaling are you willing to give up for that?

Singed got %health damage on his E this patch

Jarvan's passive is %health damage

Nasus's ult is %health damage

also Cho has a big true damage nuke so I'd say he's good in that department since either one works for tank shredding

If you want to build damage on Skarner, go attack speed. item 3718 + item 3091 + item 3068 + item 3151 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
