Hello everybody!
I just wanted to bring this thread started by RiotScruffy a while back about possible changes for Skarner back into the communities radar: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=42284915&posted=1#post42284915
It seems to have been forgotten about somewhat and I was wondering if, at the very least, we could get an ETA on ANY changes for one of my favorite champions.
Please post your support for Skarner!
probably after they finish nerfing the hell out of assassins ._. and get the reworked champions finished
I don't think they have forgotten it, just there is a lot of work going on with Season 4 changes, reworks on roles, itemization and what not. A lot of the reworks that they have planned that are not in the PBE right now I believe have been put on hold till things settle down.
His rework is up, and its looking pretty good. Its missing the lowered CD on W based on the patch notes, but its a known issue. Hes also gonna be pulled back from PBE temporarily.
The rework is actually a fail. The missle speed, the slow duration, is a joke of an E.
Also, splitting up his power like this makes it hard to level him. You need ALL of his skills. Q for damage, W for sustain, and E for the slow.
The ramp up speed on the W makes this a nerf, not a buff. And even with the shield buff, it still drops off incredibly fast. So it doesn't make up for any kind of "sustain" that skarner's current E provided while laning.
The attack speed buff is nearly impossible to keep up when running down an enemy champ. This iteration has also nerfed his tower taking ability by a lot.
HAVING to build an Iceborn Gauntlet or a Frozen Mallet (which is fairly expensive) in order to be able to secure a kill and stick to an opponent is just dumb.
The cooldown on his E... its way too high as is the mana cost.
RIOT really just needs to buff his current kit a little bit. This "rework" is no good.
