Skarner has the highest base AD in the game and he has only one spell that he needs to spam, which also has a low mana cost. Sheen only scales with base AD (doesn't count bonus). His base AD ties with Cho'Gath (which isn't a great Sheen user because of high cooldowns and mana costs, even in rotation he would have some problems using Sheen at its full potential) and is only less than Mega Gnar's (a form that is not permanent, with high CD skills). Therefore, Skarner is the best Sheen user in the game.

The fact is that Skarner didn't lose much with those nerfs because he never built AP in the jungle and the only damage items he built always were Lizard and Trinity, which together don't grant a lot of bonus AD. They just got rid of the useless stuff.
