User blog comment:Alien Paranoid/Skarner: Champion rework/@comment-7463332-20161109092325

Two things that really stand out are that you kept his passive--the thing that just about every other proposed Skarner rework would throw straight in the garbage--and that you completely removed his synergy with Trinity Force, and furthermore any other AD items. I can guess that the removal of triforce Q spam and AD scalings is just to push him into more of a straight tank role, but why the passive?

Also, the E path thing seems like it might be pretty lousy for people who're trying to juke out this giant crystal scorpion running them down over walls, and being able to ult across paths seems almost like it would be better suited to triforce pseudo-juggernaut Skarner, letting him pull someone over someone else and fight them alone. In the future try to explain what exactly your mock reworks are trying to accomplish.
