Cheaper Q means better jungling, and still having mana left over to invade or gank. His jungling is much better now as a result, and he has more impact on the game. More attack speed also means better jungling, more damage, and a more effective passive, all told, it's a 12% Attack Speed Buff at level 18, which is quite good for free, and you were not much later complaining about Energize needing more attack speed.

Personally, I've never been unhappy with E's damage. For it's cooldown and being a line nuke, it's quite good, and the heal is nice both when laning and when jungling, even more so with the very good buff allowing health regain on target kill. Regardless, hyperbole is pretty crappy. The skill obviously does far more than "nothing" and for all your complaints concerning it's range, it still has more range than his other skills that you think are good.

I gotta wonder if you've even played Skarner after the patch, or if you're just theorizing based on your personal dislike of a single skill.
