Am I the only one who thinks his rework was a nerf? Sure, that new passive can come in handy, and if you combo it well, you can make some good dmg(triple mark, ulti, triple mark, stun), but i still feel his old passive was much better. I mean, sure, a stun is nice and all, but reducing cd on skills greatly is amazing. Also, losing all those bases on Q, and "compesation buffs" on the CD of the skills were a joke. Old Skarner could, not only perma slow(though i kinda prefer the new, ranged slow, less toxic, more fair) but he could have his skill up way faster. He could gank bot, do jungle, the gank mid with ulti up after using it bot. Now i have to w8 till it comes off cd to do a meaningfull gank, since most guys can easily escape a 2.5 sec slow.

Now, i wont argue about his viability. From personal experience, early ganks are better and smoother, and i can still kill a lot of things in a 1 vs 1, but his build is now very restricted(most times u go jugnle item(wraith) and the ibg(or triforce if fed, but ibg gives better stickiness for me) and then tank. I kinda miss the old skarner, at least that one could be diverse, and adapt. This one is ruined if their team is ap heavy.
