Talk:Skarner/@comment-27425447-20151221044758

Just played a game as Skarner for the first time, against a lee sin no less. Fucking. Awesome. He feels like a better Udyr- you have the same "gotta go fast" mentality, and you are completely untouchable in your zones. I powerfarmed early game, and the lee sin ended up like 5-1-2 in the first 10 minutes. Our Lucian was like 0-5-0 or something crazy. In the meantime, though, I invaded let's jungle and he couldn't duel me with the spires. The map presence Skarner puts out is ridiculous. With cdr you can have w up permanently, and you get like 650 move speed in your spires. I was able to solo baron with no life steal items. He just does so much damage, even outside of his zones, and has so much utility. I've never played the other Skarner, so I wouldn't know, but he is still plenty viable. This also made me realize lee sin is way overrated- have a decent frontline and he is borderline useless.
