So whats the difference between Stalker and Skirmisher as far as situations go? Is one more effective than the other? Poachers and Rangers are clearly defined but the first two have me confused.

Alright this is how I usually decide.

1. If the enemy team has any champion that can go invis I'll take Skirmisher for my ganks against them.

2. If I'm playing a champion that has a high on-hit dps (champions with abilities that increase attack speed), I may also take** Skirmisher** for the bonus true damage on-hit when I gank.

3. If I'm playing a champion whose ganks really lack, meaning that they don't have a lot of crowd control and usually rely on red buff for decent ganks, I will take Stalkers for the decrease in movement speed.

There are a few other situations where one would be better than the other but those are normally the big reasons. On a smaller side note, skirmisher also reduces damage taken from the smited opponent. If you're ganking someone, it's a good idea for the damage reduction so they don't burst you down. Just some thoughts, hope this helped a tad.
