A small concept/Idea for a new Skarner passive

Just a heads-up, My english might not be so great, Because it's not my primary language. I wouldn't call myself a true Skarner main, But i started loving, And playing him around season 5 somewhere(I joined around season 4, When braum's login screen was still up). Even after the juggernaut rework, And immediate nerfs, I still liked him, And even if i don't play him much anymore, I still like him. I've noticed alot of people, Mostly Skarner mains themselves (Durr), Strongly dislike his entire spire gimmick. I myself don't like it much either. Riot has stated they most likely won't remove the spires, As they really think he is better suited as an ''Objective control juggernaut'', Even though the only thing remotely making him an objective controller are said spires. So i was thinking for a bit, And came up with a possible alternative passive, To make him (Slightly) better at objective controlling.

Remove the stat bonuses from his spires, And buff up his movespeed, Attack speed, And mana regeneration as compensation.

My idea is to make the spires spawn additional brackern, That fight along skarner, Aslong as he remains in the spire zone. The amount of brackerns could range from 2 to maybe even 4.

''But how does this help him in any way regarding objective control?'' You might be wondering.

Currently, His spires only grants him bonus stats, Which make him more of a duelist, Than an objective controller. If spires would spawn brackern buddies for Skarner(Instead of giving him extra stats), They could add up DPS to help him take down objectives such as dragon or baron easier.

This would also mean he would gain more control over dragon/baron pit, As enemies would have to be wary of the crystal menaces.

Heck, Maybe they could also crystal slash on their own(Or in tandem with Skarner), And even proc his E for him. Maybe they could even spawn when Skarner isn't nearby, And enemies walk into an active spire zone, As a way to defend their precious stone.

I know i haven't posted many comments or made many treads before, But i really wanted to let my idea be known to the community, And hope this gets seen by Riot, So they might consider this a possibility.

Anyway, I'm open to feedback and criticism. Please let me know what you guys think about this! Skarner
