@Vhaegor 3.5 secs but is reduced every time he auto's something. Both itterations of the kit have an AS buff which means the CD of Q (and all his spells) can be made waaay shorter.

@CattleLion His ult and ability to start a fight are reason enough to pick him over other champions.

Honestly the changes look good to me. The removal of the perma-slow sucks but the rest of the kit looks really good to me.

-AS on Q = faster clear times because while it's tied to W you only get 2-3 auto's before the buff disappears, the transfer also saves Skarners mana pool because shielding isn't as necessary while farming. The Q change saves Skarners hp and mana pool a lot.

-The increase of MS on W is a nice buff considering purchasing Shurelyia's is basically out of the question now and allows Skarner to ult a target much easier regardless of what items he has built or allies he has.

-E provides ranged CC and actually has a purpose, there's nothing bad about this spell. The heal was good in so few situations that it might as well not have been there.

The Q changes work so well with his passive. The fact that his AS buff isn't tied to the shield (or has a duration) is such an immense buff to the kit and sort of (not entirely) makes up for the removal of the perma-slow. The entire kit is so much better than you two are making it out to be.
