Here's what I can think of..

1) You have no quick gap closer early game aside from flash which means you can be easily kited with ranged kits.

2) Aside from ult you dont have any presense against a well built AD carry as they will just melt through you.

3) Skarner is countered by QSS and cleanse.

Useful tips.. Your Q has an infinite slow potential. In many skarner games I'll be so tanky that they can't focus me so they go after my carry but skarner can just keep auto attacking and spamming Q and they'll really be stuck at 60% movespeed forever, not even kidding. The slow is an AOE and as long as you keep people off your carry you're doing your job. Lategame skarner is more of a wall of infinite slow, not really a blitzer who hits the carry hard like an Irelia... unless they over extend then you grab them and pull them back.

So yeah keep that in mind, you become a wall of slow CC and peeler.
