I tried the new Skarner, and I must say, the passive stuns not that great for lockdown, and it really annoys me how his old passive was transfered to his Q, but his Q only.

However, the utility that comes from his new passive took me off guard a little. While the stun is really short, it is a stun, and can interupt channeled escapes, which makes ganking so much easier, even if it is hard to pull off (which it isn't really, e, q, q, aa). In the middle of a teamfight, his passive is pretty good, as he can constanly apply stacks to a team while only focusing a single target, meaning he can just aa different people to stun them, and not to mention his ultimate attracts a lot of focus, whether it makes an easy target for your team, or you get the enemies attention when you ult their carry.

He also got a small visual upgrade which is nice.

But holy s*** he moves fast. If you grab Tri-force, you can catch up to anyone and with boots you can reach 500 movespeed which is ludicris when you ult some 1000 units back into your team.
