SMALL minority? Are you kidding me? A small minority got BUFFED with the iceborn build path. Furthermore, it's now the ONLY VIABLE BUILD PATH. Before you could build Skarner AS/tanky, AP/AS, full AP, tanky bruiser, full tank, but now the only build path is iceborn. So yes, the Skarner rework is a failed rework as it contradicts the universal design rule of ENCOURAGING variety rather than REMOVING it.

And I realise this damned rework's "intention". It was stated that they wanted to make him "viable" and remove is "toxic permaslow". But guess what? Skarner is in a worse place that EVER before, and they have only made it worse after Skarner players have had to suffer this monstrosity for 4 MONTHES. And toxic permaslow? Look at Ashe and red buff for ****'s sake. You can't just cherry pick a small community (in this case, Skarner players) to use as guinea pigs in testing a design change. In ADDITION to this, you still wouldn't revert it after the community showed overwhelming amounts of distaste for the nerfs, with the main thread consisting of over 350 pages of feedback which were largely against the changes.
