I should have specified his damage is higher than pre-rework. Because you have an AS boost that doesn't go off with a spell.

I did like his post-rework pre-passive kit too, but Riot decided to listen to people who couldn't play him properly, so yeah. I think the current Skarner is as good as the pre-passive one though. Remember that he has only seen play in Diamond games after they changed his passive.

...Then they nerfed his Q's base damage for reasons I can't understand, and he's being played much less now - but still more than before the new passive.
