@DamonDraven

Thanks for your reply, I can agree with pretty much everything you said there so thanks. :)

Also, Skarner is a fearsome split pusher with the AS steroid (proc on minions near you fo instance), core sheen, high base AD, being an pretty stong duelist makes him strong for split pushing, if you know how to do it. This opens up yet another play style if that's what your team needs doing. But, really he does his job better as an initiator going for a carry.

A good thing about Skarner is his diversity which I guess makes for a pretty strong solo queue champinon as you can adapt pretty easily to your teams needs, or at least pre cinderhulk this was more the case. At the moment I still feel like this tank meta is forcing him towards the cinderhulk and devourers doesn't feel as strong for me as you don't have as much early presence that lets you get into a position where you can carry but with cinderhulk you can have a lot more impact as you simply don't die as fast. Something I want to try a little more is warriors, I stopped using it a while ago but I feel like I may of underestimated its power in solo queue as it gives a lot more early damage compared to devourers letting you duel much better and have more pressence than devourers whilst also giving you a little more solo carry potential than just outright tank, even though from a high level team play point of view, cinderhulk is the better enchant. Just some ideas when I was having a little think over what I can do with him.

Hi, Thanks for replying.

I'm Silver II - I at the moment, nothing too special for now.

That build is pretty much what I have been doing in solo queue, to different effects. If my team and I are doing moderately well, this build makes it much harder for the enemy team to come back but if we aren't doing as well, it becomes a lot harder to get back than before as my damage drops off and I am pretty much entirely reliant on teammates to work with me, which is a bad theing to rely on in solo queue. Like I said before, I'd try out warriors and see if you can carry with that, at the moment this is just an idea, I was on a pretty rubbish losing streak with tank Skar when I decided to post this as the same sort of thing was happening, Just kept on losing as I couldn't carry a slightly behind team and we just threw. But funnily enough, our team managed to come back from so far behind as I just got sivired + RGed into Vayne and we miraculously managed to win 5 v 5s here. (I even needed Purple smite we were so far behind)
