Skarner & why not changing him to a controle jungler
Skarner right now is just in a terrible state. He doesn't do anything unique anymore & all his function basicly get outsclassed by other junglers. Now with the changes to his passive got me thinking. Why don't whe change his playstyle a bit. So he comes into a different pool of junglers. This time he actualy can forfill a unique thing in the game. A change like that might be extreem but when brainstorming on it & the role riot tried to give him actualy comes close together.
So what does this mean. This suggestion is highly towards removing the warrior direction the classic skarner liked to go with. Ganking is now more a secondary function & his main role is now all about controle jungling. Basicly a Nunu with more ganking power but less supportive skill.
#Passive: Crystal Spires
- See PBE
#W - Crystalline Exoskeleton
- AP scaling changed to armor scaling. This means he will get a lot tankier & so can sustain longer in fights when building more tanky.
#R - Impale (reworked)
- Impale can now be used on monsters (includes red & blue, not includes dragon & baron)
- Cooldown changed to 100 / 80 / 60 (cooldown reduced by 2/3 when using it on monsters)
- You now have to aply a mark with your basic attack first. The mark will be visible similar to darius & garen indicators.
- Now makes his target untargetable and unable to take any actions for a short duration. However the target will now recieve a percentage of the damage Skarner recieves within the duration. So basicly the enemy will prevent damaging you during the duration because they will also damage your target.
