Can we just VGU Skarner?

His current size vs what he should be is like old Sion vs new Sion.

There's a whole lot of gameplay functionality that can add to that feel while retaining some current aspects of his kit as well.

Currently, he's barely as big as Kha'Zix.

His kit/model barely fit his theme. There's a huge disconnect between lore and kit.

That should be changed at the very least. Its half the reason Skarner missed his mark with the Juggernaut update. Something so tiny will never feel like a Juggernaut. Skarner doesn't feel inspired at all, unlike all of the others.

#Making his kit feel like it has the impact of a GIANT CRYSTAL SCORPION should be the number one priority of his next update, and his model should fit that impact. This needs to happen whether he's a Juggernaut, Vanguard, or whatever else.

He should be a Juggernaut, it's the truest to his lore and how he's always played in the past.

When they update him again, I hope they do him justice.

How he was played before was much closer to Hecarim (they were actually considered to have an extreme overlap in the past), not Juggernauts.

The only thing he had in common with Juggernauts was kiteability.

Everything else about him was more along the lines of divers/skirmishers.

Just needlessly correcting part of what you're saying. :p

I do agree that Juggernaut fits him much better.

His protector role, lore-wise, says Vanguard, hence "Crystal Vanguard", but the way he goes about it in lore very much says he should be a Juggernaut.
