No, he is powerful. It isn't just players don't know how to deal with him, he is just generally powerful. Why is he?

Reasons as follows:

Bruisers are good for dealing damage and taking damage. However they're; A) Melee and B) Are low on crowd control.

Skarner is not. He is a bruiser with good damage and tanking capability. He also has an on demand ranged slow + stun, as well as a single target suppression he can use to reposition people. Other bruisers do not have this. Volibear can do his quick flip with a slow, but that's it. Trundle has his pillar, but that is it. Warwick has his single one shot ult, but he can't move people around. Garen just has a 1.5 silence. Darius has a single short ranged pull and a very short slow, etc.

He also excels at objectives, which league revolves around, making him exceedingly strong where it matters.
