Skarner is weak against champions with escapes or CC that can be used to peel. He doesn't like tank-busters like Vayne or trundle. He is also neutered pretty hard if you can dodge his E. If you can dodge his E, you dodge his DPS Placing wards in river will ensure that he doesn't catch you since you will see him comming.

For top laners I reccomend; Riven Gnar Wukong Aatrox Gangplank Lissandra Olaf Zac

Mid Laners I reccomend; Ahri Azir Ezreal Fizz Karma LeBlanc Lulu Lux Morgana Ryze Syndra Zed Ziggs

Bot Laners I reccomend; Alistar Ashe Caitlyn Ezreal Janna Jinx Kalista Karma Lulu Lux Morgana Nami Sivir Tahm Thresh* Tristana Vayne

Junglers I will Cover more in-depth. Amumu is good to keep Skarner locked down long enough in order for your team to disengage/reposition. Lee Sin is good for shutting him down early, getting some wards down in his jungle and killing him will set him back long enough to keep him fromg getting early ganks off. Nunu for a similar reason, can counterjungle skarner in order to hold him back. Trundle can tank-bust him at all points of the game and can remain a serious threat in 1v1s and 5v5s. Udyr has not only speed up on Skarner, but is also another exellent Tank duelist who can shut down skarner with the right build.


 * Although Thresh is mentioned, I do not highly recommend him since his best peel is his lantern, his flay requires him to be too up close and if the Skarner is coordinated with his team, would rather focus you over the ADC. I can go more in-depth for any of the mentioned champions if you ask.
