Yeah, nerf the guy who wins a lot only in silver and bronze and has been out for a week. They're dumb enough to stand on his giant glowing buff circles and fight him, he must be OP.

1/4 of the community didn't even bother reading the patch notes and have no idea what his new passive does. I have had someone ask "hey what are those things" in LITERALLY every single game i've played with a skarner in it. I have watched people sit 2 steps away from the buff edge and sit there fighting him and die and go "OMG DIDN"T BAN SKAR SO OP" when moving very slightly to the left would completely rob him of most of his power. These are the people who want skarner nerfed. AKA idiots who don't even read patch notes and can't figure out the most pathetically basic of counterplay. I've even shut down skarners by capping their point in the middle of a teamfight and had the skarner player go "OMG HOW DID YOU DO THAT".

This is the league community. Do not knee-jerk nerf a major rework because you listen to illiterate scrubs. As soon as a famous streamer puts out one stream saying "this is how you counter skarner" his win rate will drop because noobs will only listen to streams instead of having the sense to figure anything out on their own. I'm not saying he might not be a bit strong, but I guarantee you his massive win rate is VERY overinflated by bad players.
