Skarner OP?

GarthBrooksIV··1 votes·336 views

I've played Skarner a lot lately (in crap elo) and won almost all my games with him. He's virtually indestructible late game with a tank/bruiser build and gives a nice mix of utility and damage output. Also, a strong champ for objective control with the crystals near drag and baron/herald. I've soloed drag lvl 5 idk if you can do it lvl 4. Decent ganks pre-6 too. A weakness may be his long cd on ult pretty much throughout the game, but really he doesnt have to have it to gank well anyways. Why is he not a more popular jungler?

He's weak and not as viable versus the power that stronger junglers have.

He's clearly not weak--Skarner's enjoyed a high winrate for like 5 patches in a row.

You should never confuse winrate with power. Look at Azir: he's sitting at a poor winrate across the board, yet he's the most contested champion in the professional scene and currently receiving nerfs on the PBE after consecutive nerfs at the same winrate. Meanwhile Galio has an intense winrate at 54%, yet he's one of the lowest rated champions in the game.

Why? It's because champs like Skarner have a smaller dedicated playerbase, and as an effect average stats will be skewed towards player that are very experienced with them.

Voli does what he does but better honestly. Rush in, click on enemy, and ruin their day. Plus against some teams you never get to do good ults and it really hurts his chances to win.
