I understand Riot is garbage that gives a champion something and then nerfs them in the same way to make it like they don't have a passive. Oh Thresh has armor passive, no armor per level, equates to no passive for you Thresh. Lissandra has mana passive? High costs and low mana regen for you then, another champ essentially passiveless. However as much as Skarner did have that kind of, a good Skarner building him as an AS Fighter, as he should be, had a 6 secondish CD on W, without maxing CDR they lowered his buut not enough to compensate, it's still 1 shield per fight essentially, especially early game, oh god the pain. Maybe if he just got 20% free CDR it wouldn't be so bad, would still have been a nerf but that would put Skarner down to an 8-9 second CD without CDR, it's an improvement at least, but really they should just give Energize back, even if they had to double passive him like Yasuo. Riots proved that fairness has nothing to do with balance in their eyes, so it wouldn't change things that much for anyone else.
