Thank you so much for helping out our favourite crystal arachnid Skarner . These are rough times for him, but extending the spires range, and including krugs into them will help him a lot. Thank you again!

These are buffs/QoL planned for 9.5, for reference:

Spire buff range increased from 1150 units to 1600;

Spires are no longer visible from minimap;

Spire on red buff side will also cover krugs.

Full vgu will happen. They got morde in their sight so hopefully skarner isn't that far off. These are just quick term solutions to alleviate his situation.

i don't really want a full vgu for skarner, he isn't looking bad and his kit isn't outdated, it's just a mess due to the spires.

Give me back my Skarner 1.0, i miss the permaslow and good dueling with sheen only OUTSIDE OF THE SPIRES

There's so much potential for Skarner if they focused more on the whole scorpion thing but nah crystal spires.

I agree with you, the crystal scorpione aspect of skarner is full of potential and needs to be fleshed out. But that won't be until his rework, hopefully not too distant from morde's since they shared kind of the same situation. These are just quick term solutions that were so necessary to skarner right now.

If this is about what happened with the Aatrox rework, the only reason he's ignoring us all right now is because of how much hate and flame he received from the Aatrox subreddit when the rework first came out.

It's been months now and the situation has barely gotten any better, he made a good choice when he decided to avoid the sub altogether.

I mean, I dont blame him. I blame Balance for any issue that hit his rework. Jag only designed the kit, the whole damage aspect was done by the balance and live design.

After some thinking, I think Skarner and his team should still see the spires on the minimap. Enemies don’t need to capture them to unlock parts of their kits, and denying Skarner such a huge part of his should come with a minor drawback like revealing their position. They’re already getting gold just for the trouble of walking over to a spire.

That'd be ideal yes. Maybe if riot feels confident after these buffs, allowing skarner and his team to be the only ones to see the spires on the minimap would be perfect
