Do note that it will take riot at least 3 patches to be able to buff him to a point of playability, that's how riot is right now, they do everything they can to prevent another op and unhealthy champion. When they nerf, they take away 50%, when they buff, they buff 1%, also note that they mentioned old Skarner was a problem to balance, and that they will try to bring as much as his old self back while not bringing back those old issues, so Skarner will always be worse than what he once was. In my opinion though, I will never want to play Skarner again, nothing about him is attractive to make people play him, only his Q is a... unique spell? His ult is unique but it's too costly to pull off a good one, not rewarding either way, I rather just find other junglers to play, but I feel sorry for Skarner lovers out there.
