His versatility is also overlooked: you can play him as a 40% CDR extremely tanky bruiser that permaslows people to deliver feeding to your ADC/assassin/mage/yourself, or you can play him as a 1.76 (2.0 if you buy Devourer after Preseason) AS bruiser that melts almost everyone in 1v1s (Skarner, unlike most bruisers, is very item-reliant despite his base stats, and that's why his damage or his lockdowns can be terrifying if you know what to buy). You have to remember, though, that he's still kiteable by huge range champions (Caitlyn, Lux) and he can't always keep up with the most mobile ones (Lee Sin, LeBlanc).
