Does skarner need a change?

Skarner's new passive makes Skarner not feel like Skarner he just doesn't feel the same anymore, I think he needs a change to bring back the core identity of what made Skarner who he is. His old passive energize made so much sense and made Skarner a incredible clearer but now its replaced by a stun that doesn't help your clear time and forces you to build tanky. His e used to be a heal which allowed him to sustain and be played in top lane.

This is merely a opinion and would like others thoughts on this topic.

Like a platinium main Skarner, I can say that Skarner is in a "balanced" state, right now the jungle"tank" Skarner its strong, and this is in great part by: item 3800

item 3800 combined with the 25% bonus health of Cinderhulk and the strong engage active part, make Skarner a true nightmare, he can easily run with W and to catch a key target with Impale, his passive stack in AoE, so you can stun and damage targets at the same time also peeling your adc, honestly its a good passive and for me, its a very good passive to clear the jungle too, his old passive remains on his Q, so I don't know why you say that its no longer...

Finally his E recently received a dmg buff, its a utility skill, can be used to init the gank, peel your adc, disengage, if you land a good E, you can easily put a Q, and you only need a second Q to put the stun and then the kill, with item 3800 you can secure the kill. the % slow its strong and hit various targets.

A good build are:

item 3025 or item 3078 , item 3110 , item 3800 + Cinderhulk + Boots + MR item like item 3102 item 3190 or item 3091 can be a good STANDARD build on him, you need a item 3057 early to solve the mana problems, and amp your dmg too.
