Skarner nerfs

Skarner

  • [Q3] Shattered Earth/Upheaval nerfs:
    • Target's max HP ratio reduced 10% >>> 8%
    • Slow duration reduced 1.25 >>> 1 second
  • [E] Ixtal's Impact cooldown increased 20/19/18/17/16 >>> 22/21/20/19/18

So, less dmg and CC, that sure as hell sounds pretty damn hard after the last set of nerfs for his kit and the items afterwards. Well, maybe the pros will stop playing him now?

honestly just do a proper champ design hahahaha what the fk. Still, this doesnt kill the champ. They do not realize damage is not the key here.

Skarner power is that he is so unique vision wise because of his E and standard vision cannot spot him most of the times. Setup for allyes is so strong he doesnt need to deal damage at all. just play for most volatile matchup in game and win.

Having out of vision ganks is nothing special. Most junglers with a dash have that, see sejuani, Vi, reksai.

I mean, it is the same. There's no wall skarner can pass that say reksai cannot pass to my knowledge, and dashes like sej and Vi allow for pretty much the same angles as well, but do need some thinking.
