But by doing so Riot also limit the build path of Skarner, making him can only build auto-attack-enhance item. Before the rework he can go well with either ad or ap build but not now.

And lower his cooldown is just a mean to compensate for the removal of on-hit CDR. They buff his stickiness but what can you do when all his damaging abilities are nerfed by half.

The thing i find make him unique is his Ult. If people play him for a stun, shield, AoE damage, 1vs1 capability then Udyr is a far superior choice. No other jungler can dandy walk straight to enemy and pull back ADC like him.
