Before the damage nerfs he was slightly too strong. Buffs that don't increase damage output are a safe bet so that Skarner can be stronger. In my very short experience Q eat a lot of mana so that is a welcome change and shorter e cooldown is going to make chasing or escaping easier.

Maybe during this season they will finally do something about runes but I wouldn't be holing my breath. It's going to take a looooong time.
