Skarner: a sad and lonely scorpion.
Alright. Let's get this out in the open, the rune reforged screwed over a lot of champions, my main Skarner, being hit extremely hard. Before I had some champions that could just out-perform him in certain cases. (Jax, Shyvana are two that comes to mind). But now, the crystal vanguard is at a state that a slight gust will crack his shell. Even with some extensive testing on different builds, the only thing I had even moderate success with on him is full tank, that is the only way you -might- make it into a fight long enough to maybe grab the adc/apc. But given the state of CC, you just immedately get focused and locked, as soon as you show up. Even if you flash in, you don't make it out. So I have a small suggestion:
Make his W increase his armor/magic resist, start at 5 for level 1, and increases by 1 every level?
Also, his spires. Love the idea, hate the execution. Change them to it gives him a stacking buff, 3 stacks lasts 12 seconds. But make it to he can only collect a buff from the same spire every 6 seconds. Make it also give him tenacity, and scaling attack speed, scaling movement speed, mana regen, like it normally does, which reaching what it normally does if you just stand in it at 3 stacks.
Just some suggestions, to help this champion out some. Would love to hear other people's thoughts.
